Hidden lore — revealed in game at high Radiance
Swift, lethal and possessing remarkable endurance, Vanguards excel in their duties as scouts and advance units often attached to a main Dark Crusader force, typically working alone or in small groups and carrying out reconnaissance, information delivery, sabotage, and assassinations.
