New 2A Vagabonds

The newest 2A monsters in the Sacreon Dimension include some of the most ancient monsters in the entire history of Summoners War: Sky Arena – The Vagabonds. Yes, the natural 2 and 3-star monsters which were quite popular during the early years of the game before they got power crept by better and newer monsters that were released over time. Now, they are just a shadow of what they were but they do hold a nostalgic value to all players.
