If you’re chasing stronger builds in Roblox Vanguards, the Metal Mask Familiar deserves a look. Its kit mixes huge damage boosts, a damage type that ignores reduction, and a crit-focused ability. Here’s the breakdown, based on Sportskeeda’s guide by Swapnil Joshi (updated Oct 14, 2026).
Table of Contents
Vanguards: Metal Mask
| Ability | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Boss boost | Gives Rideon vs Samuel 6,000% increased damage |
| Blast buff | Boosts Blast-type units’ damage by 80%, and that damage ignores damage reduction |
| Sourceless Damage | Repeated hits from Truth Goes Unspoken become Sourceless Damage, and each instance gives the unit 5% meter |
| Bleed | With a damage buff active, inflicts Bleed on all enemies in range every 8 seconds |
| Repulse and Wounded | Attacks apply both effects |
| Video Games buff | Hitting an enemy on Repulse lockout buffs Video Games-type units’ damage by 50% for 30 seconds |
| Deep Cut | Usable when the meter hits 100%, and it consumes the whole meter |
| Crit boost | +50% crit rate while Deep Cut is on cooldown |
What Makes It Stand Out?
It scales with your team. Metal Mask rewards synergy. Blast-type units get an 80% damage boost that ignores damage reduction, so it holds up against tanky enemies. Video Games-type units can also receive a 50% buff for 30 seconds, which makes a mixed squad worth considering.
It builds toward big moments. Every Sourceless Damage hit fills the meter by 5%, so you’re building toward Deep Cut all match. Once it’s used, the crit boost kicks in while it recharges, so there’s no dead time.
It wears enemies down. The Bleed effect deals damage over eight seconds, based on 20% of the unit’s current overhead damage buff. The stronger your buffs, the harder it bites.
Quick Tips
- Pair it with Blast-type units to make full use of the 80% boost.
- Keep an eye on the meter so Deep Cut is ready when you need it.
- Build around Video Games-type units to benefit from the 30-second buff.
