Questions people ask
What does Vanguard's Flameplate Banner do in Guildrun?
Whenever a Vanguard is auto attacked, they inflict 4 Burn on the attacker.
What tier is Vanguard's Flameplate Banner in Guildrun?
Vanguard's Flameplate Banner is D tier on patch 0.5.12.
What is the difference between a relic and an item?
Items are equipped by a single hero and take up one of that hero's slots. Relics apply to the entire guild and do not use slots. That makes relics the stronger of the two when a build starts coming together.
How do I increase my team size?
Harmony Crystal raises it by one, up to five. So does each of the fifteen Mandate relics, but those require finishing an objective first, like dealing 15000 auto attack damage or applying 30000 shields. Pick the Mandate that matches what your team already does.
