Strategies[]
- Pioneer Vanguard is used frequently in maps where DP generations are nonexistent like the Annihilation maps or where DP generation is slowed down in certain maps. Their stable DP generation means they're not affected by those mentioned downsides. With 2 Block counts and higher Defense than other Vanguard subclasses they can also act as semi-Defender until there are enough DP generated to deploy one.
Modules[]
- The SOL-X Module can help the Pioneer Vanguard in holding off enemies on the early game.
- The SOL-Y Module expedites the Pioneer Vanguard's deployment in the early game, which is helpful for high-rarity Pioneers.
