Lane Guardian: Difference between revisionsGive feedback

'''Guardians''' are one of the two types of defenses protecting the [[Patron]], along with [[Walker]]s. They are large metal automatons with a fiery brazier as a head. They fight by dealing continuous damage with a laser emitted from their torch, targetting all [[Trooper|Troopers]] and [[Heroes]] that enter its radius.[[File:Sapphire Guardian vs Trooper.png|thumb|A Sapphire Guardian attacking an enemy [[trooper]].]][[File:Amber Guardians..png|thumb|A pair of Amber Guardians.]]

In total, there are '''12''' Guardians on either side of the [[Map]]; one in each lane acting as the first line of defense, and four pairs of '''Base Guardians''' defending the [[Shrine|Shrines]]. When there are no enemy troopers nearby, the Guardian enters an invulnerable state, where it cannot be damaged by any means. When a trooper or enemy player enters the guardian's range, it will become vulnerable, targetting its laser onto the closest nearby enemy and dealing constant damage over time.

The Base Guardian is a variant of the normal guardian found in pairs outside each team's base. Base Guardians are near-identical to their counterparts, however they have slightly different mechanics and stats. Once the base guardians have been killed, a permanent speed boost is applied to the attacking team's zipline in that lane, while defenders will receive only half the normal number of souls for [[trooper]] kills in that lane.
