Vanguard (Dissidia NT)

Vanguard in Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is a simple and straightforward class. They have high Knockback, medium Projectile Priority, and high Knockback Resistance. The Vanguard counters the Assassin with higher stats to keep the Marksman safe. They also protect other teammates with either long distance attacks, high damage or AOE attacks. Typically they always have some way to keep their Marksman safe, and poise through any problems that come their way.
Most of the characters in this category have a mechanic to boost damage, but their main role is protecting in some way. 
Generally for EX Skills you want to run HP Regen and Mighty Strikes, but some can benefit from other ones.
