What is a Vanquisher?
A long, long time ago, there was a Druid hero named "Dan" whose destructive magic and sword skills were unmatched in all the land. Though he protected the peaceful Druids from evil he sensed that the Druids' downfall was rapidly approaching and sought to find a warrior to whom he could pass on his knowledge and wisdom.
Many strong Sentinels and Vikens accepted his test in order to receive his legacy, but those who survived and returned were few in number, and those who did manage to survive were too weak in mind and body to receive Druid Master Dan's teachings. Druid Master Dan declared Ryan, who helped rescue the Bermesiah Continent during its time of crisis, his successor, and bestowed upon him the Storm Blades and the ability to transform himself at will.
Sybil, the Druids' prophetess, declared Ryan the "Vanquisher," "The one who eradicated evil from the continent" and "Dan’s successor" (Or "Vanquisher of Evil" & "The Chosen One"); when Ryan transforms he becomes the “Magnus Dan.”
Vanquisher Characteristics
A Vanquisher wields the Storm Blades, two small spears that can be brought together to form the larger Storm Pike. Depending on the fight, a Vanquisher can wield a blade in each hand and engage in rapid attacks or use the double-sided Storm Pike to increase his melee range. Whatever the situation the Vanquisher has the flexibility to adapt to any battle. Unlike Ryan's other jobs, there is no limitation placed on his transformation. He is able to freely transform back and forth between Vanquisher and Magnus Dan. If Ryan transforms into Magnus Dan, he has at his disposal a full range of attacks.
In the foreign severs, Vanquisher was known as "Xenocider". It was translated to Vanquisher upon release to the Northern American Server.

Vanquisher Skills
General
Vanquishers wield Storm Blades, which are a type of Pike.
It is possible to combine them together. The fusion is now known as Storm Pike.
Unlike Amy's Switching, Vanquishers can only switch during regular stance. It also takes longer to do so.
User can still use a skill during the switch, but will only use that skill prior to the one current to his form.
User is defenseless during the switch, withing exception of the skill usage. If he is attacked, then the switch will automatically cancel.
Storm Blades have 5 hit combos.
From the Crit/Double Combo, it is possible to Air Grab.
Storm Blades have several combos. They also have a 3 hit dash attack, similar to Dragon Knight's Dash.
Storm Blade Dash Attacks can be performed in two other different ways, which is similar to a Nova Kick.
The Uppercut Kick can also lead to an Air Grabs as well.
Storm Blade's Jump Attack mimics Thief/Mage's Jump Attack and Storm Pike's Jump Attack mimics Spear's Jump Attack.
Storm Pikes have a 4 hit combo. Their dash attack has a similar effect to the 1st hit on Dragon Knight's Dash.
Has a "Mach Blow", which is a wind wave effect similar to Nature Tamer. All forms can activate this.
Mach Blow does less damage than Nature Tamer. Mainly it is used for stunning or protection.
Mach Blow cannot reflect ranged attacks.
Vanquishers have 7 normal skills. 3 for Storm Blades, 3 for Storm Pike, and 1 for the transformation. Transformation skills vary, as Wolf has 2 skills, Nephilim has 1 skill, and Magnus Dan has 3 skills. It is therefore possible to have 10 skills equipped at once with Magnus Dan, 8 for Nephilim, or 9 for Wolf. A total of 15 Skills that is available to Vanquisher.
Vanquishers may not equip more than one transformation at a time (unless Nephilim is changed to a 3 bar, which is true as of now.) If no transformation is equipped, the transformation becomes Magnus Dan.
Magnus Dan transformations are unlimited and last until you wish to switch back to your natural state. This is unlike Wolf and Nephilim, which you much purchase for Cash or GP at the Shop.
Storm Blades
Gatling Spiral
(Grade 1) Vanquisher’s 1st grade attack delivers several quick jabs and then a final blow to finish off his opponent.
- The user will make several jabbing thrusts followed by one final blow.
- Quite similar to Abyss' Shadow Stinger.
- Unlike Shadow Stinger, the jab thrust has no delay. It can be chained into deadlier damage.
Flash Impact
(Grade 2) Vanquisher’s 2nd grade attack hits his enemies in the legs to cripple them before delivering a series of magical explosions.
- Vanquisher will "trip" his target and then rush through it, creating immense explosions.
- The attack is sometimes used to rush through the target, but mainly for grouping damage.
Power Strike
(Grade 3) Vanquisher’s 3rd grade attack is a series of powerful jabs followed up with an aerial magical strike that will burn anyone in the way.
- Vanquisher will do multiple jab strikes and then toss his blades onto the ground, leap up into the air, and slam down into a Power Strike.
- Power Strike has half damage range as most other explosion attacks, such as Amy Kick.
- Skill does not reach far, so suggestive use on close quarters.
Storm Pike
Fatal Drive
(Grade 1) Vanquisher’s 1st grade pike attack hits high, low and then delivers a fatal blow to the chest.
- Vanquisher will do several hits and then rush through the target.
- Quite similar to Flash Impact, but less dangerous.
- It is possible to perform a Crit/Double combo with Fatal Drive, to cause delay. It can be repeated infinitely until the target is dead or the user has no more MP.
Furious Boomerang
(Grade 2) Vanquisher’s 2nd grade pike attack has the Vanquisher throw his Storm Pike like a boomerang, viciously assaulting enemies as it comes forward, and back.
- Can pull targets to the user (assuming they do not die from the first wave), similar to Soul Wave.
- Because of this, its possible to conduct several combos as well.
- This skill is pretty useful on the PvP Map: Gorge of Oath. The Boomerang usually pulls them off the ledge in the process.
(Grade 3) Vanquisher’s 3rd grade pike attack throws three magical bolts before calling down a flaming pike imbued with Nature’s wrath to purify evil!
- Vanquisher will shoot 3 large bolts and a large flaming pike.
- More range than Power Strike
- Unlike Heaven's Guardian or Chaos Savior, the explosion beam can actually pass through the aerial ground set, whereas those two has a limited shot set.
- Due to this, it can be hard to control the Explosion Beam, because it sometimes shoots through the platform.
Transformation
Wolf/Nephilim
(Grade 3) User will transform into a Wolf or Nephilim boasting similar attacks.
- Because its a grade 2 skill along with Magnus Dan, equipping the Wolf transformation equips it over Magnus Dan, making the user unable to transform into Magnus Dan while the wolf form is equipped.
- In foreign servers, it was stated that the transformation for either forms were placed on 3 bars, rather than 2. This may have been done to nerf Vanquisher.
Magnus Dan
(Grade 2) User will transform into a Magnus Dan, a furious defender of nature. It takes a form of a humanoid creature with a Sword and with wings. Magnus Dan is darker and more serious than Nephilim or Wolf transformations.
- Magnus Dan is commonly referred as "Dan".
- Magnus Dan does not have a special effect. In PvP, he is immune to grabs, due to his height being the same as Nephilim, but he does not have the Super Armor effect.
- Has unlimited uses, and does not need to be bought from shops, unlike Nephilim or Wolf.
- It also lasts infinitely as well (including in Portals). To disable Dan, press X.
- User has to be in regular stance in order to revert to Vanquisher Form.
- When the power of Dan is released, it will create a small Shockwave, like Nephilim's Shield.
- Note that every time you transform into Magnus Dan, a large portion of HP will be restored, depending on your Vitality. Quite similar to every time you transform as Nephilim. People can use this advantage to replenish HP in PvP.
- Transformation to Magnus Dan doesn't heal Fatal status.
- In PvP, Magnus Dan's MP Gain Rate is reduced, like Nephilim.
- Has the longest taunt statement throughout all of Grand Chase. ("If you are a warrior, then we must fight 'till the last man!")
- Unlike Nephilim, it has weaker damage, but does not have Nephilim's weakness.
- All other transformational forms have more attacks than Dan himself.
- Magnus Dan has the Otto Ability, unlike Nephilim. He can juggle people as well. In addition, Magnus Dan has higher range than either transforms.
- Magnus Dan closely resembles Ashtaroth.
Transformation Attacks
Turning Breaker
(Grade 1) Magnus Dan’s 1st grade level attack is a quick 1-2 combo hitting low and then high, launching his enemy into the air.
- Using the sword, Dan will use a quick attack hitting high and low.
- It is possible to Air Grab with this.
- This is actually quite similar to Ashtaroth's Fall Recovery.
Blinding Cross
(Grade 2) Magnus Dan’s 2nd grade attack sends out a powerful shockwave of Nature’s wrath in a cross pattern.
- Dan shoots a large wave at the target, something similar to a Gaikoz's Sonic Wave.
- Like Knight's Sonic Wave, it penetrates targets, inflicting high damage.
- Skill has limited range.
Lord of Valhalla
(Grade 3) Magnus Dan’s 3rd grade attack summons a guardian of the Palace of the Gods to strike down your enemies.
- Does a few hits and summons a Dragon-like creature, crushing down the target.
- This Summoning is said to have a connection towards the Gods, which can also mean that Magnus Dan also has a possible connection to the Gods as well.
- Not as effective against Super Armor foes, because the move causes Dan to move up a bit, and so does the dragon.
