Description

The Vanguard is the featured Chaos enemy in Chaos 1. It appears in all Chaos difficulties other than Chaos 2. It has relatively low health and deals a small amount of damage. It carries a shield which blocks projectiles rendering them useless.

Strategy

Avoid using projectile based defenses and heroes unless you are equipped with a piercer servo or piercer chip. Their shield only blocks their front side, so they can also be damaged from behind with projectiles.
