— Guardian

The Guardian is a unit of the Dragon Clan available in the Winter of the Wolf expansion pack for Battle Realms.

Overview

The Guardian might lack the grace and speed of his fellow Dragon Clan fighters, but what he lacks in finesse, he more than makes up for with sheer strength. This burly, bulky warrior is one of the most seasoned combatants in the land.

Bright and colorful tattoos stretch across his rippled muscles, which are needed to heft his gigantic five-foot wooden, metal-studded club.

Those who stray within range of this club will pay dearly.

Usage

The Guardian is an excellent tier-1 unit compared to the Spearman as their fast and powerful blunt attacks are very effective to all but those resistant to it. Their are weak to cutting and explosive attacks however.

Their have good set of battle gear to be used in combat; the Last Stand is an excellent battle gear which gives the guardian more time to inflict even more damage and can be useful against Lotus armies relying on ranged power. The Concussion Blast is a great ability to start a battle as it stuns nearby enemy units, giving your army a few seconds of time to take advantage of them.

Battle Gear

	Last Stand	Stamina: Passive		Concussion Smash	Stamina: No Cost
Requirements: Shrine			Requirements: Fireworks Factory
From the Shrine, the Guardian gains the Last Stand ability, which, when defeated in battle, will cause the Guardian to go into a berserk rage for a few seconds; the Guardian will be impervious to all attacks and will inflict more damage than usual. After his tantrum is over, the Guardian collapses, his energy and lifeblood completely spent.			Gained from the Fireworks Factory, the Concussion Smash lines the Guardian's massive club with explosive runes. When he strikes the ground, these explosive runes detonate, damaging and momentarily stunning nearby enemies at the expense of his own health. One-time use.
