Here's a quick guide and tips for Royal Paladin Galahad Deck users in the RPG mobile card game Vanguard ZERO. Available for Android (Google Play) and iOS (App Store).
Galahad cards are able to ride from Deck without going through the hand. By skillfully riding on "Knight of Godly Speed", Soul cards will increase to 6, and Power and Critical can increase with their own Skill. Lastly, use Soul Saver Dragon's Skill to strengthen Rear Guards and attack!

Trigger Sets
Rank Fight Trigger Set
- Critical Trigger (x0), Draw Trigger (x9), Stand Trigger (x0), and Heal Trigger (x4)- Critical Trigger (x0), Draw Trigger (x7), Stand Trigger (x2), and Heal Trigger (x4)
- Refer to the build above (screenshot) for example Triggers Set for specific cards.
- Do not set Heal Triggers to your Galahad (G3) or Soul Saver Dragon (G3).
- It is best to set your Heal Triggers to your Gancelot (G3) to put them back into your deck in case you have them in hand, and to get an Intercept card. Also use when you have more damage than your opponent or during the later part of the battle where Triggers can be obtained with higher chance.
For Non Rank Fight Battles
- NOTE: Feel free to experiment with other Trigger Sets according to your preference. Add more Critical Triggers and/or Stand Triggers if you want to use this deck for certain events, like non Rank Fights that would require you to finish the battle asap.Royal Paladin Battle Strategies
Mulligan (Starting Cards)
- Knight of Quests, Galahad (G1) = Keep x1.
- Knight of Tribulations, Galahad (G2) = Keep x1.
- Knight of Godly Speed, Galahad (G3) = Keep x1.
- Flash Shield, Iseult (G1) = Keep at least x1.
- Knight of Tribulations, Galahad (G2) = Keep x1.
- Knight of Godly Speed, Galahad (G3) = Keep x1.
- Flash Shield, Iseult (G1) = Keep at least x1.
- Lake Maiden, Lien (G1) = Keep x1, if you have this card.
Basic Battle Strategies
- Complete the Combo Chain until you can ride Galahad (G3), clear your way using Blaster Blade's (G2) skill and unleash high Power attacks!What If The Chain Ride Failed?
Option 1:- If the Chain Ride failed, just continue and play with cards that you have. This is the point where backup Vanguards are very useful.
Option 2:
- Do a "Re-Ride" but don't overdo it though. If for example you have Galahad (G2) but your current Vanguard is already Grade 2, then just do a Re-Ride especially if you have Galahad (G3) in hand. Re-Ride Galahad (G1) only if you don't have any Soul Charging cards...
Option 3:
- Use "Soul Charge" cards depending on how many cards you need (need at least 6 total cards in Soul).
- Dream Painter (G1) = Use 9 Draw Triggers if you want to use this card.
- Demon Slaying Knight, Lohengrin (G3) = Ride first to use "Soul Charge" then ride Galahad (G3) once you have at least 5 cards in your Soul (Lohengrin (G3) will be your 6th).
- Pongal (G1) = Only if you have Soul Saver Dragon (G3), can also be used to add this card into your Soul in case your Chain Ride failed.
- If you failed right from the start and did not ride Galahad (G2) and (G3), you'll need 3 more cards into the Soul... but if you just missed the first one but able to ride Galahad (G2) and (G3), then you just need 1 more card into the Soul.
Counter Blasts
- Blaster Blade (G3) = Mainly to retire 1 of your opponent's Grade 2 Intercept card, to open up more attack opportunities.
- Note: Also consider other card effects that requires Counter Blasts if needed.
Soul Blasts
- Once you ride Galahad (G1) and (G2), you'll get 4 Soul cards, enough to activate SSD's (G3) skill, but doing so would disable Galahad's (G3) skill and other cards that can Power up if you have 6 cards in your Soul.
- So use SSD's (G3) skill when your enemy doesn't have Intercept cards (best scenario) and if you can no longer use Counter Blasts.
- You may also use this if you have low Power cards left during a potential final turn event, or to counter certain cards that can increase their Power above 20,000 (like OTT's Imperial Daughter (G3)).
- TIP: If you have 2 Intercept cards in play, sometimes it's better to place your SSD (G3) by retiring 1 booster, then activate it's skill.
How To Build 21,000+ Power Columns
Vanguard + Booster
- Galahad (G3) = 11,000 base Power Vanguard (CB2: To get 14,000 Power and Crit until end of turn).- Galahad (G3) + Any Booster with 7,000~9,000 Power = 21,000~23,000 total Power (CB2).
- Borgal (G1) = 9,000 Power when conditions are met.
- Borgal (G3) + Lohengrin (G3) = 21,000 total Power.
Rear Guards + Booster
- Little Sage, Marron (G1) = 8,000 Power Booster.- Marron (G1) + Palamedes (G3) = 21,000 total Power.
- Marron (G1) + Any Rear Guard with 9,000~11,000 Power = 17,000~19,000 total Power (22,000~24,000 Power with +5,000 "Trigger Check" buff).
- Borgal (G1) = 9,000 Power when conditions are met.
- Borgal (G1) + Marhaus (G3) = 21,000 total Power.
- Borgal (G1) + Gigantech Dozer (G2) = 21,000 total Power.
- Borgal (G1) + Knight of Conviction, Bors (G3) = 22,000 total Power (CB1).
- Borgal (G1) + Palamedes (G3) = 22,000 total Power.
- Borgal (G1) + Any Rear Guard with 9,000~11,000 Power = 18,000~20,000 total Power (23,000~25,000 Power with +5,000 "Trigger Check" buff).
- NOTE: Other cards not included here are also OK to use but some are very situational or unsustainable, use them if you like. Also adjust the numbers above depending on your Booster's Power.
