Breaking down Ice Queen in Anime Vanguards
How to get and Trait recommendation
The Ice Queen is exclusive to the Winter 2026 Seasonal Banner, where she has a one in 20,000 chance of being the unit you receive. There is a cap of 20,000 summons in place, after which you are guaranteed one copy of the Ice Queen. Once you acquire the unit, the summon cap is lifted, and her original pull rate is the only way of getting additional copies.
You can perform summons on the Winter 2026 Seasonal Banner using Winter Presents, the main reward of the Winter Event. Each summon costs 150 Winter Presents, and you can farm them en masse with the right strategy in the Winter Event.
The Ice Queen’s status ailment-focused strategy makes her a great candidate for SPA-reduction Traits. Since having a high placement limit improves her damage, it may be best not to use Monarch as the first choice. Consider using Ethereal, Solar, and Blitz as the preferred Traits for this unit.
