Overview
Don't believe anything the game says: the true spirit of Vanguards is to do whatever the hell you want! With decent offensive stats both sides, and the ability to use any Photon Arts at a barely acceptable level, Vanguards are a walking talking Gurhal's Greatest Hits album.
The Greatest Hits of Gurhal
As per usual, we want a weapon to chain with, a weapon to break chains with, and some weapons for utility purposes.
However, unlike other types, Vanguards has the ability to pick whatever they want!
So here's a simple chart for some recommendations. Check the other guides for specific details.
| Melee | Ranged | Technic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chaining | Twin Daggers, Twin Sabers, Twin Claws | Twin Handguns, Machine guns (Meseta Shot) | Foverse, Sazonde, Sabarta, Nagrants |
| Chain Break | Swords, Axes | Shotguns, Crossbows | Sazonde, Diga, Nosdiga |
| Utility | Double Sabers, Daggers | Rifles, Laser Cannons, Handguns | Zalure, Shifta, Deband, Resta, Anti |
Don't forget that you can use Strafe Casting on Wands and Tech-Mags for additional chaining potential.
Race Differences

Ignite Arts
Weird to mention a Lv50 Ability in the beginner's guide, but this is worth a write up.
Ignite Arts costs 7 slots, and increases the level limit of all player Photon Arts from 20 to 25 (with the exception of Shifta and Deband). This may sound like a massive cost for something that seems insignificant, so let's go through what exactly it covers.
