The Rules of Engagement – Vanguard Shield Specialists
The Rules of Engagement is the column that provides Republic Troopers with highly detailed intel on everything a Trooper needs to know to adapt and overcome on and off the battlefield.
Today’s piece will be an introduction to the Shield Specialist specialization for the Vanguard Advanced Class for those who have recently reached endgame or are looking ahead to gain familiarity with their Vanguard tank’s future arsenal. I will speak about some basic principles and give a few examples of more specific ability use during gameplay. Many of these areas will be broken down and delved into further in future articles and serve as a primer to answer the most pressing concerns for Vanguards looking to embark on the road of Shield Specialist tanking.
