Armour of a Vanguard.
Hidden lore — revealed in game at high Radiance
Swift, lethal and possessing remarkable endurance, Vanguards excel in their duties as scouts and advance units often attached to a main Dark Crusader force, typically working alone or in small groups and carrying out reconnaissance, information delivery, sabotage, and assassinations.

How it compares
No standout stat — 36th of 95 chest pieces for physical defence, and similarly mid-table elsewhere. Worth wearing for its set or its look rather than its numbers.

Alternatives at a similar weight
Other chest pieces within a quarter of this one's 26.8 weight, so swapping does not force a rebuild of the rest of the loadout. Ordered by physical defence.
