Vanguard Class Build Guide
How To Build A Vanguard - In this King Arthur: Knight’s Tale Vanguard Class Guide, we are going to show you how to build your Vanguard from the ground up in terms of the active and passive skills you should acquire, the Heroes you need to create a reliable party, and the gear you have to equip. If you are looking for a Vanguard who excels in stealthily dealing damage while deploying traps here and there, then this King Arthur: Knight’s Tale Vanguard Class Guide is for you!
Vanguards are a different beast altogether because unlike the rest of the Classes we have talked about, they are not initially as straightforward to pilot. They are assassins who specialize in various Skills including setting traps, inflicting Poison, staying in the shadows to deal Surprise Attacks, and backstabbing enemies to maximize burst damage. Vanguards like Lady Boudicea and Sir Tegyr are able to do these things well without taking massive damage because of how stealthily they move, making them highly effective damage dealers.
Similar to Arcanists, Champions, and Marksmen, your ultimate goal as a Vanguard is to improve the Weapon Damage Stat as much as you can. It’s also important to allocate a point or two to Perception so you can easily detect the enemy’s traps without relying on Heroes such as Lady Dindraine to do it for you. Since you will mostly be dealing melee damage, remember to boost your Physical Debuff Resist to prepare yourself against physical Status Effects such as Knockdown, Vulnerability, and Weakness.
In terms of party composition, you will definitely need a Defender to protect you and your allies. You can then mix it up with another Vanguard, ranged Hero such as a Marksman or Arcanist, and Champion. They all compliment one another so you shouldn’t have a hard time dealing with enemies even when they come in droves.
