Vanguard

Vanguard is a Barbarian's next class that can be acquired after completing Class Change Exam 2 quest. Like a Barbarian, they have high physical attack and low HP/MDef. Their role in party is physical damager. Once player changes class to a Vanguard, he/she gets 6 more keys to unlock skill cores.
==Stats Build==
*All text below is only recommendation, you don't need to exactly follow advices - do opposite if you want^^.
Main attribute for Vanguard is Force to deal heavy damage, next comes Tech to not miss all attacks (and farm more mats too). As for all fighters, Vanguard don't need Mind stat due to absence of magic attacks.
Approximately stats build is:
*65 Force
*25 Tech
*10 Life/Spirit
Stats build by Faran:
* 70 Life (maximum)
* 40 Spirit (maximum)
* 200 Force
* 115 Tech
This is my build on 180 lvl. This build guarantees good damage, mimum miss and not bad defence. You dont need more life or spirit. Next only force/tech in ratio 3/2.
==Equipment==
===Weapon===
Though it has less Atk and Hit than swords and axes, best weapon for Vanguard is still Saw Blade and it's remakes, mostly because of it's multiplier for skills damage limit which fully demonstrates itself during boss fights.
===Shield===
Since Vanguard's main goal is to deal highest damage, it would be wise to use appropriate shield as well. Young Dao and it's remakes suits perfectly for that goal: though you'll not get additional attack as if use it with Dao sword, it adds Slash damage to any weapon (seen only on 'Details' screen). Best normal shield you can wield is Spath Wall, next remakes will be accessible only for Knight and Lord Knight, and Vivid/Venom shields which gives good bonus for other stats and resists (perfectly suits for mages) adds nothing to physical damage. By the way, Dao is the only shield (for now) that can be remaked after 160 level and accessible for Vanguard.
===Accessories===
There's only few recommendation for accessories: +Luck while farming (like Algernon Tail ), +Physical/Magic resist while fighting enemies with physical/magic attacks (like Brave Torque/Ordinate Medal ) and +Effects resist while fighting enemies with same status effects.
===Head===
There's not much choice: Nady Helmet/Circle and it's remakes
===Body===
Nady Armor and it's remakes
===Leg===
Nady Shell and it's remakes
