The Virid Vanguard is a craftable post-Moon Lord summon weapon. When used, it summons a giant blade which orbits around the player. When an enemy is nearby, it alternates between repeatedly horizontally sweeping back and forth and repeatedly teleporting on top of its target and falling. Each blade performs up to seven attacks before changing its behavior.
Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting advantage a Mythical Virid Vanguard has over a Ruthless one is knockback.
