The Elite Vanguard is a Two-Handed Spear that players should use if they want a powerful weapon that’s not outrageously far away.
The Elite Vanguard can add further upgrades through refinement, which will increase the Attack numbers and Attack Speed, so if you’re looking for a hard-hitting and fast-striking weapon, then the Elite Vanguard is decent enough.
With 5 Abyss Gears to equip at your leisure, the Elite Vanguard has the potential to be even greater, and its umbrella-like design can make for some whimsical builds.
