Damage, healing and hate in Vanguard scale with your stats, skills and level — the figures above are the ability's own, not what a particular character will see.

Notes

The tooltip adds a line of its own beneath the description: “Instrument modifiers alter proc chance”. `Gamael's Blades of Flame` words it “increase” rather than “alter”.

Read from the in-game tooltip in VGO Emulator, photographed 2026-10-18. A bard component's cost is charged per second, and the tooltip prints it above the name -- `3 / sec Energy`.

  • From VGO Emulator — the game’s own strings for this ability, which filled anything blank here. Where they disagreed with a figure already recorded, the older figure was kept and the client’s reading filed as a disagreement
