66 Gregor wields the Golden Vanguard himself during the boss encounter at Fort Ironclad in the Hernand region. Players who have faced him know firsthand how punishing this halberd can be. Once acquired, the weapon brings that same reach and striking power to the player's arsenal, along with four pre-equipped Abyss Cores that provide a mix of offensive and utility bonuses.

3030 The Golden Vanguard can be refined at any Blacksmith up to 10 levels. Each tier boosts the base 23 attack value further. Materials come from mining nodes and world drops. Given the weapon's already high base damage, refinement pushes it into endgame-viable territory.

3434 The "Recover Resources on Kill" Abyss Core is particularly useful during extended exploration sessions where you fight groups of enemies without resting. Each kill returns a small amount of resources, reducing downtime between encounters.Halberds have excellent reach. Use the Golden Vanguard's range to hit enemies before they can close the gap, then follow up with charged attacks to knock them back.The Level 2 Critical Rate pairs well with additional crit Abyss Cores in the remaining slots. A full crit build with the Golden Vanguard can deal devastating burst damage.Against shielded enemies, the halberd's overhead strikes can bypass some guard angles. Aim for downward slashes rather than horizontal sweeps when fighting guards with raised shields.
