They are highly trained deflection experts and masters of frontal shields defensive tactics. == Behavior =={| style="overflow-x:auto"|-| [[File:Rxia9CcVanguard Projectile Blocking.gif|270px|left]]| A Vanguard has relatively low health and deals a small amount of damage but they are bigger in size than the average goblins. The main feature of this enemy is that it carries a shield which blocks projectiles rendering them useless. Multiple vanguards as packs are often spawned in the front of other enemies - this frontal formation allows the vanguards to not only protect themselves but their enemy allies from projectile attacks as well.|} == Strategy ==Avoid using projectile based defenses and heroes unless you are equipped with a piercer servo or piercer chip. However, their shield only blocks their front side, so they can also be damaged from behind with projectiles from backward-faced defenses or pawn-based traps. == Appearances ==For Expeditions, Incursions and Mastery, Vanguards first appears in [[Expeditions#Chaos_I | Chaos 1]].jpgIt then also appears in all [[Expeditions |300pxChaos]]difficulties other than [[Expeditions#Chaos_II | Chaos 2]]. In Onslaught, Vanguards starts appearing from floor 3 onwards as part of schedules with '''"Vanguard"''' or '''"-guard"''' prefixes/suffixes. Other schedules include:* '''Timmy's Revenge''' * '''Sparks and Shields'''* '''The Front Line'''* '''Mob Gallery'''* '''Omega Squad Beta'''* '''Omega Squad Delta''' {{Enemy Infobox| name = Shield Goblin Gorbstock| image = File:Chaos I Enemy - Shield Goblin Gorbstock.png|damage_type enemy_types = ??Goblin, Melee, Chaos, Miniboss|damage lane_type = Ground| appearances = ??Expeditions, Onslaught, Incursions and Mastery|health schedule_icon = ??File:Gorbstock lane icon.png

== Strategy Notes and Trivia ==To deal with Vanguards you will want to place [[Defense* '''Trials Report #Types|Auras, Traps or Nodes]] but you can use some 5 - [[Defense#Types|Towershttps://steamcommunity.com/app/236110/eventcomments/1636418037467044170/ On the Frontline]] that are not projectile based like Ramster or Flamethrowerby Prime Scout Atticus Scout:''' :''“Prime Scout Scout here. I’ve been scouting all week, and scout’s honor, I’ve discovered a new enemy.
