The Virid Vanguard is a craftable post-Moon Lord summon weapon. When used, it summons a giant blade that orbits around the player.

The Vanguard Blade will attack nearby enemies with 3 sets of attacks in the following order, with each attack being repeated up to 7 times before switching to its next attack.

• Sweeps horizontally back and forth in quick succession.
• Teleports above the enemy and charges down into them.
• Rapidly stabs back and forth in semi-random directions.

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.
