Arguably the best of Ryan's classes in so many ways. The Vanquisher is the most versatile melee fighter thanks to the wide range of skills, abilities and transformations he is capable of utilising to his advantage. The Vanquisher offers multiple fighting styles combined with 2 of the most effective, platforming and otto, combined with a variety of 7 maximum skills at his disposal. Granted the power of the Nephilim alone, it makes Vanquisher Ryan the most powerful melee character in the entire GrandChase cast.
And given the norm, anyone would be tempted to breeze through a fight with the Nephilim, the quicker way.
Dodge:
- Type: Ground Roll
- Like most melee characters, Ryan too makes good use of the Dodge skill, mainly because most players forget about his defensive measures, which to be honest, aren't all that effective too.
- Avid Ryan players would be platforming or ottoing a lot, hence not so much of a need to use Dodge. Should they engage in standing combat however, it becomes useful for Vanquisher to evade at will, since his attack speed is moderately slow.
- Mach Blow (→→← + Z)
- A defensive counter against a charging opponent, which knocks them back with the wind shear. Not so useful in dungeons since most charging enemies would be Super Armor buffed, rendering such a counter useless.
- Flip Kick (Z/ZZ + ↑ during a dash) Storm Blade form only*
- Vanquisher's first combo technique which executes a flip kick and launches the enemy into the air.
- Step Kick (Z/ZZ + ↓ during a dash) Storm Blade form only*
- Vanquisher's second combo technique which hops onto the enemy and knocks it down directly.
Otto:
- Has a decent sweep range, though not really as far as the weapon sprite effect might indicate.
- Sustainability: Medium
- Vanquisher's main combo in both modes have been sped up, but still allows a chance of enemy counterattack.
- Ryan sorely lacks overwhelming offensive force, a lot of technical ability is required to make him excel
- Or go dirt cheap and wild with Nephilim.

Increases the transformation time from 20 seconds to 45 seconds.
Revive: Tenacious Vitality Lv2
Die within 90 seconds and you get a 50% chance to revive with 30% HP. Once used or expired, a 40 second cooldown is activated.
Charging Skill: Charged Blow
Used to knock enemies away. Neither effective nor impressive to use.
Roar: Wild Roar
Strikes twice with a high impact roar. This attack can be used in mid-combo during certain moves. 10 second cooldown.
Survival: Nature's Shield
Ryan becomes invulnerable to all attacks for 4 seconds under the shield. 60 second cooldown after use.
Totem:
All totems will be destroyed immediately if hit by any enemy attacks.
Defense Totem: Decreases damage taken by 10%. Lasts entirely with the cooldown of 20 seconds.
Revitalizing Totem: Heals up to ~10% of HP in full. Lasts for 5 seconds. Actual cooldown of 25 seconds
Energizing Totem: Charges up 1 bar of MP in full. Lasts for 5 seconds. Actual cooldown of 25 seconds.
Defense: Stone Wall
A stone pillar blocks out projectile attacks. Monsters can still move past it and it does not block beam-type attacks from enemies. The totem can be destroyed if hit by an attack of overwhelming strength. Lasts for 6 seconds equal to the cooldown.
As of late, Magnus has little use in dungeons for many reasons. He is largely inferior to Ryan's Vanquisher in too many aspects except for having slightly higher attack strength. Magnus functions much like a regular swordsman with a not so effective otto ability, and 3 skills to go with. Magnus can neither use any of the shared abilities that Ryan has, nor his Dodge ability.
Turning Breaker: A quick 2 hit combo with high knock-up.
Binding Cross: Draws a cross with his sword and sends it across a short distance to hit his enemies multiple times. Very limited range.
Lord of Valhalla: Magnus summons a Balrog-like familiar to trample his enemies ahead of him.
[1] Otto: His jump attack starts too high which produces a dual-effect. The high swing allows Magnus to strike targets above him and fares well on big targets. Yet however, the high swing does not fare well with smaller targets.
Unlike the Wolf and Nephilim transformations, Magnus Dan has no time limit and Ryan may stay in this form as he pleases, even when traveling across stages. Transformation ends only when he is defeated or by pressing "X" once.
