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.

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.

Blade Forme

Vangarm's Forme that is specialized in Close Combat. Acquired during battle against Royal Knight Arlange.

Burst Forme

Vangarm's Long Range Combat Forme. Acquired during battle against Royal Knight Zobergh.

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.

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.
