~~NOTOC~~ ~~TOC 2-4~~ ====== ARF-FX2 Hades Knight Vangarm ====== The ARF-FX2 Hades Knight Vangarm (also known as Royal Knight Vangarm, or Vangarm for short) is the titular Ancient Royal Frame of Hades Knight Vangarm. Developed as one of six Ancient Royal Frame, and Sister Unit to Royal Knight Vanrire by the Resistance Faction of the Ancivans to combat berserk Mechabeasts that rampages on the land a long time ago. Judecca Zwei served as its Cerebral Unit. Following the Great Human-Ancivan War, Vangarm is the first Royal Knight to be fallen in combat and captured by the Loyalist Ancivan Faction. It is then remodeled into its current Hades Knight form to combat other Royal Knights. While its output is far greater than the other Frames, it is eventually defeated by the combined efforts of other Royal Knights. It was then sealed away together with its Cerebral Unit. At the beginning of the events of Hades Knight Vangarm (Novel?), Ray Vencher found the sealed Vangarm when he's exploring the Ruins where it is sealed to scavenge some Spare Parts, and subsequently become its second Pilot after awakening it. {{INLINETOC width18 2-4}} ^ ARF-FX2 Hades Knight Vangarm ^^ | [pic here] || ^ Data ^^ | **Height**| 17.5m | | **Weight**| 18.9t / 29.7t (Hades) | | **Power Source**| Parallel-Mana Heart Reactor | | **Armor Material**| Ancitanium Alloy | | **Crews**| Main Pilot x1; Cerebral Unit x1 | =====Tech and Features===== The Vangarm is initially designed to work in tandem with its sister unit, cover mid to close combat. after its subsequent capture and modification into Hades Knight, it is then installed with Armament Trace System, allowing it to adapt and copy its opponent armament in combat, creating various configurations known as Forme. Currently known Formes are Noir Forme, Blade Forme, Burst Forme, Bit Forme, Hades Forme, and Royal Forme. Like other Royal Knights, Vangarm needes both the Main Pilot and a Cerebral Unit to fully operate. Cerebral Unit act as Vangarm's Mana and Weapon Regulator, when the Main Pilot focus on movement and General Combat. currently, only Juddeca Zwei can act as Vangarm's Cerebral Unit, and subsequently, only personnel acknowledged by her is able to act as Main Pilot. =====Armament and Combat Characteristics===== ====Noir Forme==== Vangarm's default Forme. It is a balanced forme that covers almost every basic range in combat. * //Buster Arm//: Both of Vangarm arms can be configured into Arm Cannons that shoot green colored Mana Beams. They are powerful enough to punch a hole through small mountains, but requires some time to charge and cannot be fired in rapid-fire barrage fashion. * //Mana Blade Arm//: Both arms can also be configured into Mana Beam Blades for melee combat. Each Blade is capable of tearing both Mass Produced Frames and MechaBeasts' armor with ease. * //Garm Gazer//: Vangarm can also shoot Mana Beams with smaller output from its optics. while not as powerful, this attack can potentially stun or flinch incoming enemy. * //Sheol Burst//: Vangarm's ultimate attack in Noir Forme, It turns its Mana Reactor into overdrive, creating a Giant Ball of Mana in front of itself. It then punch the Giant Ball of Mana with its right arm, configured in Buster Arm mode, while also firing at it, launching a tremendous wave of Mana Beams to its opponent. Standard-Armored Mechabeasts and Frames will instantly disintegrate when got hit, and Betterly armored one might got itself exploded or at least critically damaged. After this attack, Vangarm is then put into STandby Mode, unable to move due to stress done to its Heart Reactor. ====Blade Forme==== Vangarm's Forme that is specialized in Close Combat. Acquired during battle against Royal Knight Arlange. * //Volt Anchors//: Wire Guided Blade Anchors installed at both sides of Vangarm's Skirt armor. They can be launched to stun or halt enemy movements. Captured enemy then can be attacked further by releasing Electric Shocks from both the anchors. * //Twin Mana Blades//: A pair of large sized Swords stored at Vangarm's back. these Mana Swords are large physical swords with Mana Blade installed on their cutting edge. They can be used to destroy better armored and/or large sized enemies. * //Mana Partizan//: Vangarm also wields a Partisan similar to Arlange's Main weapon of choice. It also have Mana Blade installed on its tip, allowing it to thrust and slash through armors with ease. * //Jade Buster Sword//: This weapon is created by combining Mana Partizan with both Mana Blades, resulting in ridiculous sized Buster Sword, with its blade further expanded by large Mana Blade created by overdriving the Heart Reactor. A swing of this Sword can instantly wipe a platoon out, and Slice a small mountain in two. ====Burst Forme==== Vangarm's Long Range Combat Forme. Acquired during battle against Royal Knight Zobergh. * //Rapid Fire Mana Handgun//: A Pair of Handgun capable of rapid firing Beam Rounds made of Mana. * //Dual Gator Railcannon//: a pair of large Railcannons stored on Vangarm's back. They typically slide under the shoulder when deployed. * //Gator Scorcher//: Deployed by combining both Handguns to the back of each Railcannons, expanding it to its Beam Cannon Configuration. After charging, both Cannon unleash a continuous stream of destructive Mana Beam for a short period of time. ====Bit Forme==== Vangarm's Unique Combat Forme, which instead of directly attacking, it instead deploys Bits to attack its enemies. Acquired during battle against Royal Knight Quetzkaiser. in this forme, Vangarm can also deploy both Buster Arm and Mana Blade Arm for further offense. * //Raven Bit// x6: Six small avian-shaped Bits stored on Vangarm's back. they can be deployed to track and attack surrounding enemies. each bit is equipped with Mana Beam Gun on its lower torso and Mana Blades on each of its wings. Each Raven Bits can operate up to 30 minutes, then it must come back to Vangarm to recharge their energy. ====Hades Forme==== Vangarm's Combined Forme, which combines all armament from Blade, Burst and Bit Forme into one. This Forme further burdens the Frame and its Heart Reactor, and can only be used in short amount of time. First deployed when battling against Corrupted Royal Knight Vanrire Dread. ====Royal Forme==== Vangarm's true / "rightful" Forme, gained after shedding its Hades Forme, enhancing both its power and mobility. All Weapons attached are configured into a more compact form, to lower the burden for its Frame. * //Royal Buster Sword//: upgraded version of Jade Buster Sword. While gaining a more sleeker shape, its damage output is not decreased. * //Royal Buster Cannon//: upgraded version of Gator Scorcher, deploying only one Cannon instead of two. It has 1.5 times the damage output of the Gator Scorcher. * //Raven Bit II// x4: upgraded version of Raven Bits. While having fewer bit count than the original, they are more precise and coordinated while also having increased damage output both from its Beam Cannon and Blade Wings. * //Buster Arm II//: upgrade of the original Buster Arm. They are now capable of Rapid Fire mode while also retaining its original Single Burst Shot mode, with its charging time shortened. * //Royal Spirit Burst//: Vangarm's ultimate attack in Royal Forme, It turns its Mana Reactor into overdrive, charging Mana into one of its Buster Arm. The concentrated Mana is then unleashed as gigantic stream of destructive Beam which obliterate everything in its path, no matter how tough they are. Vangarm can move its arm around a little bit to adjust its aim during firing. {{tag>infinius infinius:mechanical infinius:frames royal_frames}}
