Game of Thrones: Dragonfire
Vesper
Tactical Vanguard support and Resistance
Vesper supplies Slow chances and supports a Tactical Vanguard through Strategic Leader. Later adjacent Resistance and Confusion add different forms of utility, but Slow is not the Control effect used by control-payoff dragons.
Negative affinity: Siege.

Vesper skills
Command
Eventide Strike
Eventide Strike independently attempts same-lane Slow each round and deals Tactical damage on rounds 1, 3, 6 and 8. The Slow attempt and scheduled attack can both occur on the same round.
Vanguard · Level 16+
Sentinel's Wit
From Dragon Level 16 in Vanguard, improves personal Tactical damage and gives Instinct and Initiative to the left-flank ally.
Habits
Each Habit unlocks at the Star Rank shown.
- 2★
Strategic Leader
Supports a Tactical ally, preferring Vanguard; from centre this can select Vesper himself.
- 4★
Dragon's Insight
Improves personal durability and Instinct.
- 6★
Savior's Waltz
One activation gives Vesper and one adjacent ally Resistance; centre does not guarantee both flanks.
- 8★
Insightful Allies
Raises all three allies' Instinct without a guessed damage conversion.
- 10★
Midnight Onslaught
Can apply Confusion in rounds 6–10; this is distinct from Slow and does not simply prevent actions.
Skill summaries are original explanations of reviewed community records. Vanguard means the centre slot; its skill requires Dragon Level 16. Basic Attacks are separate from the skill damage shown above.

Sources and uncertainty
Skills, rarity, breed, affinities and Habit unlocks use Wyrmwise's reviewed catalogue records, including Dragonfire Lab 0.23.5. They are reviewed community mechanics, not publisher confirmation of every effect. Tactical roles, placement and partner guidance are Wyrmwise inferences from those mechanics.
