== Resistances ==

Guardians ~~possess a high resistance~~ to damage ~~early in the game that degrades over time~~. ~~They start with~~ 50% ~~[[Damage Resistance]], which~~ decays linearly down to -50% ~~Resistance~~ (taking increased damage) over the first 12 minutes of the match. Lane Guardians ~~also~~ have 10% Bullet Resist, ~~and~~ Base Guardians have 20% Bullet Resist.

Guardians mitigate incoming damage from players using three separate mechanics that stack together multiplicatively:

* '''Time Scaling Damage Resist:''' (Lane Guardians only) Applies to all damage types. Starts at 50% and decays linearly down to -50% (taking increased damage) over the first 12 minutes of the match.

* '''Player Vulnerability:''' A hidden modifier that gives them {{NpcData|npc_boss_tier1|PlayerDamageResistPct}}% [[Damage Resist]] against players (effectively making them take 25% increased damage from players).

* '''Bullet Resist:''' Lane Guardians have {{NpcData|npc_boss_tier1|IntrinsicModifiers|1|BULLET_ARMOR_DAMAGE_RESIST}}% [[Bullet Resist]], while Base Guardians have {{NpcData|npc_barrack_boss|IntrinsicModifiers|1|BULLET_ARMOR_DAMAGE_RESIST}}% [[Bullet Resist]].

Because these modifiers stack multiplicatively, players will deal significantly less damage than their base weapon damage in the early game, and significantly more in the late game.

=== Durability ===

~~Like [[Shrines]]~~, Base Guardians have scaling [[Bullet Resist]]. It starts at {{NpcData|npc_barrack_boss|BackdoorBulletResistModifier|BulletResist}}%, losing {{NpcData|npc_barrack_boss|BackdoorBulletResistModifier|BulletResistReductionPerHero}}% per enemy hero nearby, up to 0% minimum for 3 or more enemies.

Unlike Lane Guardians, Base Guardians do not have the 12-minute time scaling resist. Instead, they have an additional scaling [[Bullet Resist]] (similar to [[Shrines]]). It starts at {{NpcData|npc_barrack_boss|BackdoorBulletResistModifier|BulletResist}}%, losing {{NpcData|npc_barrack_boss|BackdoorBulletResistModifier|BulletResistReductionPerHero}}% per enemy hero nearby, up to 0% minimum for 3 or more enemies.

When [[Backdoor Protection]] is active, they have {{NpcData|npc_barrack_boss|BackdoorProtectionModifier|BackdoorProtectionDamageMitigationFromPlayers}}% [[Damage Resist]] and {{NpcData|npc_barrack_boss|BackdoorProtectionModifier|HealthPerSecondRegen}} [[Health Regen]] per second.
