Introduction

The most powerful warriors, known for their wolf and lion mounts, are the Vanguard Riders. Their spears leave unmistakable wounds, and their strength rivals, and even surpasses, that of any gladiator.

The Vanguard Horseman is a class that uses heavy armor and a spear as its primary weapon. Let's learn more about who they are and what makes them special.

About the Class

Race Description

Orcs possess almost limitless strength and an unbreakable will. Created by the fire god Pa'agrio, they are endowed with extraordinary ferocity and power in battle. After the fall of the Giants, the Orcs sought to conquer the continent of Aden, but were defeated in a brutal war against the Elves, who were aided by the Humans. Orcs are known for being one of the most resilient races. Their warriors prefer close combat with weapons such as knuckles and colossal swords, while their spellcasters practice shamanism and other ancient rituals, using their power to both strengthen themselves and weaken their enemies.

Special Traits

Orcs have high resistance to poisons and diseases.

Basic Stats

Orcs boast tremendous physical strength, high amounts of HP and MP, and rapid regeneration. However, they are somewhat slow in both movement and attack.

• Gender: This class is only available for male characters.
• Weapons: The Vanguard Horseman wields a spear as its primary weapon. With it equipped, normal attacks become single-target strikes.
• Armor: The class is designed to use heavy armor.
• Shields: It cannot equip shields.
• Mounts: The Vanguard Rider fights mounted on special creatures. Not all mounts are available to him, and unlike other Orcs, he cannot use the Ride Black Bear ability. However, he can unlock special passive skills through quests and by using specific spellbooks.

In addition, the Vanguard Rider has a unique Beast Point (BP) system, which increases depending on his CON and the mount he’s using. Upon reaching 500 or more points, he can activate the Flaming Beast ability, which grants several temporary bonuses, including activating Flame of Pa'agrio and removing cooldowns for movement abilities like Wild Rush and Wild Assault.

Skills

Racial Skills

• Orc Resilience
• Luck
• Headdress Display

Attack Skills

• Impale: This is a key skill that can be upgraded to Astounding Impale with the use of magic tablets. It has great range and power, ignoring part of the enemy’s defense.
• Wild Scratch: Another powerful skill that also ignores defense. At higher levels, it can be upgraded to Shadow Scratch, with a chance to trigger again.
• Menacing Swing: A wide attack that can be improved to Wide Menacing Swipe, increasing both power and critical hit chances.

Skill Enhancements

• Fury of the Flame: An essential buff that amplifies the already powerful skills of the Vanguard Horseman, boosting physical attack, physical defense, and maximum HP.
• Flaming Beast: This exclusive skill consumes BP and is especially useful in PvP, reducing incoming damage. However, in PvE, it is less effective as it quickly overwhelms mobs.

Mobility

• Wild Attack: A leap attack that scales with physical attack. The cooldown is removed when Flaming Beast is active.
• Wild Onslaught: Another leap that functions as a massive direct damage (DD) attack. You can also use leap abilities without restrictions when Flaming Beast is active.

Disadvantages

• Wild Roar: This skill slows enemies by 70% for 30 seconds, with a 45-second cooldown.
• Giant's Stomp: A massive knockdown attack with a 1-minute cooldown. In combination with other crowd-control skills, it’s very useful in large PvP battles.

Passive Skills

• Wild Evolution: Transforms the character from wolf to lion, significantly increasing BP, HP, physical attack, and critical power.
• Master of Brawl: Reduces incoming critical damage and increases HP and CP.

Recommended Gear

Weapons:

• Typhon’s Spear: A great starting option that increases physical power and provides a smooth farming experience.
• Ice Monarch’s Spear: The most recommended weapon at higher levels. It significantly boosts stats and powers up all skills.

Accessories:

• Baium Ring, Frintezza’s Necklace, and Orphen Earring are essential items to enhance skills, reduce cooldowns, and increase critical power.

Others:

• Benir Talismans and Dragon Belt are also highly recommended, as they improve overall stats and combat performance.

Conclusion

The Vanguard Horseman is a powerful melee character capable of dealing massive damage through specialized abilities. Although it requires investments in gear and skills, those who master its playstyle will be rewarded with an extremely versatile class in both PvP and PvE. Optimizing its attributes and equipment is key to unlocking the full potential of this fierce warrior.
