Vanguard

Vanguard is an Item purchasable at the Main Shop, under Armor. However, it can only be completed with items from the Secret Shop or the Side Lane Shop.

Tips

 * The damage block can completely negate the damage from heroes with enough armor or other means of damage reduction. They can block Phantom Lancer's illusions efficiently in the late game (they do the lowest amount of damage).
 * This is especially useful with/against heroes with damage reduction, for example: Windranger's Focus Fire, Bristleback's passive, Spectre's Dispersion.
