First time I saw him I was scared shiftless.
Then I realized that he's just an old man fatso.
Now I pwn Vanadude on a daily basis.

You want the general idea?
-Before-
oh schnapper how do I beat vanaduek
-After-
So... If my Friend #1 has a Blitz and Friend #2 has a shiv, I'd say we're pretty much in the green.
or
Damnit, who invited the noob!?

By the way, I got the Blackened Crest before I became Vanguard. Crazy huh? You'd think that Vanaduck would have some orbs lying about THAT CHEAP PIECE OF TRASH

I'm not a Wizard

First time I saw him I was like : "Spark! Spark! Spark!, Darn he used like 5 of my sparks."

Then I realized that my cobalt didn't have any CTR and got me some chaos.

Eventually I found out that there is a bomb that holds him in a place making it even easier. I still like that I don't have to rely on there being a shiv on the team.

I first met him looong before missions and sparks existed. So my first thought was...

"HEY! Who you calling a wolf? Just because I'm running with Wolvers doesn't mean I am one! I'm clearly a cowboy!"

Yes, my first FSC run I was in Sunset, shooting my Gigawatt Pulsar, Strike Needle, and Blizzbrand.

ME!

When he first arrived: Oh. Okay.
Now: Where'd he go? Why is there a dead body on the ground?

You ever get hammered in that gear?

First time with Vanaduke (was with two other Defender Elites): HOLY #&@% I EXPECTED HIM TO BE BIG, BUT NOT THIS &$%#ING HUGE!!
*few moments later*
OH #*$% THAT SWING NEARLY TOOK OUT MY SHIELD!
*few moments later*
I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR A BULLET HELL, AND HOW DO I HURT HIM?!
*even few more moments later*
back to square one? oh wait? OH #&$%ING GREAT, YOU HAVE A FIRE BARRIER NOW?!
*during Vanaduke's 4th stage*
c'mon guys! Just few more water to go and hopefully that's all left!
*at start of fifth stage*
this again? and second layer of fire barrier? ah great... wait? Is he missing his mask?
*few seconds later, all members on squad is dead with only me remaining*
ARE YOU SEERUSLY KIDDING ME? (unintelligible)
*when finally downed*
... holy #^$% that was really brutal O_O

Now: (Is still a Defender Elite, just a toned down version of first time, but more knowledgeable of what to do)
Almost there... c'mon, just a little more... (gets downed as a last survivor yet again) &$%^ YOU, I HAD A MUCH MORE EASIER TIME FIGHTING SEERUS THAN YOU, AND HE HAD A FREAKIN ARMY IN HIS BOSS FIGHT!

I never had an issue with vana

my first runs I just used a valiance and did alright
then I used an AP
(I started to use better weapons, but not OP ones, ive never liked them)
on to magnuses and a rocket hammer (strong but not OP)
(got weapon slots)
now I use mainly tortofists and a rocket hammer with an iron slug, now I can solo vana if I need to

I remember having a blitz somewhere in there, but it lasted two weeks at most
