The Ranger

The ranger of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes promises to differ from their counterparts in other games. While the standard archery abilities still remain, her place in this game is no longer is just a fighter mixed with a druid.

Classified as an offensive fighter the ranger in combat will focus on putting out the most damage she can on the opponent. A two weapon fighting style added to the use of bows, will allow her to start the attack at stand off range, then continue it all the way till the end with a finishing slash of blades.

Unlike a defensive fighter the ranger's armor choices will be more limited. Chain types of armor will most likely be the heaviest armor for the class. This means that while she can hand out a lot of pain on her adversary, she won't be as able to take the damage like a pure fighter can. Still, the idea of killing your enemy before they kill you has its place- no matter your armor.

Outside of combat is where a ranger's skills in Vanguard: Saga of Heroes may make her even more valuable. Travel through the wilderness in Telon promises to be an adventure in itself. The need to perceive the dangers around you will be very real. Having a guide to help you through will be a useful thing. This is where the ranger will shine, scouting the way ahead and spotting dangers which others might miss. Her ties with nature will be reflected in her observation abilities and skill at tracking the enemy.

Archer, warrior, scout, tracker, explorer, all this and more the Ranger shall encompass in the world of Vanguard. Ultimately it will be those that play the class that will truly define it in the game.
