Who is William Vangeance?
William Vangeance is quite an intriguing character in "Black Clover." His magical abilities revolve around World Tree Magic, allowing him to manipulate plants and use them in various ways. His calm and composed personality makes him stand out among the Magic Knights.
One of the key plot points involving William is related to a major event in the story, but I'll keep it vague to avoid spoilers. Let's just say that his actions and decisions have a significant impact on the narrative and the fate of the Clover Kingdom. The series delves into his past and motivations, giving viewers a deeper understanding of his character.
His leadership of the Golden Dawn squad also plays a crucial role in the overarching storyline, particularly during certain conflicts. It's interesting to see how his relationships with other characters, both within and outside his squad, evolve throughout the series.
Without giving away too much, I'd recommend watching or reading "Black Clover" if you haven't already. It's filled with action, magic, and character development, and William Vangeance's role adds an extra layer of complexity to the overall plot.
William's Role
| Attribute | Class |
|---|---|
| Technique | supporter |
William excels as the ideal buffer for a physical attacker, providing buffs such as attack power, speed, and defense penetration.
When teamed up with a physical attacker, he not only adds attack power buffs but also grants counterattacks to the ally with the highest attack power. It is recommended to pair him with an attacker.
Additionally, he can bolster the entire party's survivability by providing resilience buffs. Alongside supporting physical attackers, he contributes to the overall party durability by applying resilience buffs to all allies.
While the durability he offers may not match up to barrier effects, it proves remarkably useful, especially in overcoming more difficult stages.
He is a utility master, boosting speed, endurance, defense, protection, and even turning opponents into trees. He's versatile and can fortify characters, apply counterattacks, and more. With various ways to run him and tons of amazing features, even as a one-star unit, he's incredibly adaptable.
Recommended Skill Pages
In order to boost William's survival rate, we suggest focusing on strengthening his defense through a skill page. If durability isn't a concern, consider incorporating a passive that enhances the support effect, ultimately improving his support performance.

Moving on to gear, a 4-set Speed is recommended for agility, but you can mix in Defense or HP sets. Magic pieces for attack, HP, and defense are suggested for a balanced build. Accessories focusing on defense, like the Wave Move, enhance his tankiness.

Discussing dupes, upgrading William provides extra CC, HP, and defense. Maxing him out boosts his passive, making him even more formidable. Speed stones, particularly a 20 Defense Stone, are crucial for his traits.

William can slot into any party but works the best with attackers like Noelle and Julius.
