ADVENT Vanguard (LW2)

The ADVENT Vanguard is an elite trooper variant, identifiable by their combination of heavy armor and half-cape.

Equipped with heavy armor, they are well suited to breaching enemy formations, surviving once they get stuck in, and causing chaos through close range reaction shots. Visually similar, but distinctly trained is the more critical oriented ADVENT Shock Trooper.
