Learn how to get Escanor Familiar in Anime Vanguards by unlocking the subway route, farming Pride portals, reaching tier 4, and clearing Secret Portals for rare drops.
To get the new Vanguard familiars, enter Gojo vs Sukuna mode, unlock the subway station, get portals from Pride, climb to tier 4, then farm Secret Portals for familiar and capsule drops, with Escanor reportedly around a 1% familiar drop.
The new summer-unit Vanguard familiar farm is built around Gojo vs Sukuna, not a direct shop purchase. The loop is simple on paper: unlock the subway station, get a tier 1 portal from Pride, work up to tier 4, then chase Secret Portals for familiars and capsules.

Fast route for the new Vanguard familiars
Start in Gojo vs Sukuna mode and open the match normally. Your first goal is to collect enough cash inside the run to unlock the subway station, because that gets you to Pride, the NPC tied to the portal chain.
From there, take the tier 1 portal and clear portals until you reach tier 4. Finishing tier 4 portals gives you a reported chance at a Secret Portal, and those Secret Portals are where the new Vanguard familiar and capsule rewards come from.
Farm tier 4 portals in batches of five so every run either has a Secret Portal chance or pushes you toward the reported pity.

Secret Portal drops and reported pity
| Reward or mechanic | Reported rate or requirement | Where it comes from | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Secret Portal | About 1 in 20 | After finishing tier 4 portals | Needed before familiar and capsule drops can roll. |
| Secret Portal pity | Guaranteed after five runs | Tier 4 portal farming | Reported pity applies to getting the Secret Portal. |
| Escanor Familiar | Around 1% | Secret Portal completion | The rare familiar chase from this route. |
| Leo Familiar | About 9% | Secret Portal completion | Higher reported familiar rate than Escanor. |
| Memoria | Around 0.1% | Capsule-related Secret Portal rewards | Reported for memoria tied to both units. |
| Evolution items | About 5% each | Capsules and Secret Portal rewards | Reported for new and old unit evolution items. |
The important split is between getting a Secret Portal and getting the reward you want after clearing it. Tier 4 portals are the gate, while Secret Portals are the actual farm for Escanor, Leo, capsules, memoria, and evolution items.
Treat the rates below as reported early values, not permanent official odds. Live-service rewards can shift, and the article should be read as a current farming route rather than a guarantee that every account will see the same short-term results.
Capsule rewards from Secret Portals
| Capsule reward type | Reported contents | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Memoria | New memoria for both units | Reported as a very rare capsule outcome at around 0.1%. |
| Gojo vs Sukuna unit | The mode-linked unit | Gives Secret Portals value beyond familiar drops. |
| Evolution items | Items for new and old units | Reported around 5% each, useful even when no familiar drops. |
Secret Portals can also pay out capsules, which are separate from the direct familiar chase. These matter because capsules can contain progression items tied to the new units, not just side rewards.
The confirmed capsule pool details are compact: players report new memoria for both units, the Gojo vs Sukuna unit, and evolution items for both new and older units. There is not enough supported detail to list every individual item name or assign a separate rate to each capsule outcome beyond the reported memoria and evolution item numbers.
Escanor Zombie Quest reports
There is a conflicting claim floating around that Escanor’s Vanguard Familiar comes from completing a Zombie Quest. That may be tied to another event-style route, but the exact NPC, stage, mission list, kill count, currency, cost, reset timer, and limited-time status are not confirmed in the material available right now.
Vanguard familiar mistakes to avoid
Do not assume every Vanguard familiar comes from the Rift Shop. Some familiar entries are event-based, while ordinary familiar routes can differ, so the label “Vanguard” does not automatically mean one shop, one currency, or one purchase path.
Also avoid any claim that Escanor’s familiar costs Sheckles, Robux, or a specific purchase amount unless it is visible in-game. Current supported information points to a grind route, and older Vanguard familiar behavior may not apply cleanly to every form, especially where double evolutions are involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Escanor Familiar guaranteed?
No. Escanor Familiar is reportedly around a 1% drop from completing Secret Portals, so the Secret Portal itself may be guaranteed by pity, but Escanor is still RNG.
What is the Secret Portal pity?
The reported pity is a guaranteed Secret Portal after five tier 4 runs. That pity helps you get into the reward stage, but it does not guarantee Escanor.
Do you need to reach tier 4 portals first?
Eyes. The route shown for this farm has you clear portals from tier 1 up to tier 4, then finish tier 4 portals for Secret Portal chances.
Can capsules drop memoria and evolution items?
Eyes. Capsules from Secret Portals can reportedly give new memoria for both units, the Gojo vs Sukuna unit, and evolution items for new and old units.
Is the Zombie Quest method confirmed?
Not fully. Early claims mention a Zombie Quest route for Escanor, but the specific mission details and costs are not confirmed, so the Gojo vs Sukuna Secret Portal farm is the safer method to follow for this article.
