Lost Vanguard - Master Arts Review
Mighty Beat has a very fast recharge time an can increase the amount of aggro gained from Arts with AOE attacks. It is a must have for Defenders and should be acquired with the highest priority. Thunder Steel Talent Arts has a special effect when used on Machines so it is also good to learn.
Lost Vanguard - Master Skill Reviews
| RANK | Skills | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Now That's Tactics! | ★★・・・ |
| 15 | Come an' Get Me | ★★★★★ |
Come an' Get Me is an excellent skill for durable defenders such as Heavy Guard with high Block Rate. It is not necessary for evasive defenders but it should be top priority for defenders who will tank attacks. Now That's Tactics! is not a skill that should be prioritized, so after the Class is released, Come an' Get Me should be enough.
