Van Guard

The Van Guard is an Hardmode accessory. While equipped, and when the wearer's health is above 25%, it grants all nearby players on their team the Van Guard buff: this buff causes players to being protect themselves by using this shield.

Trivia

 * The Van Guard (as well as its component, the Warbanner) originally came from a suggestion from Terraria Community Forums user Zoomo dedicated to improving pre-Hardmode summoner and ranger progression.
