The role of the Guardian in the game, as the name suggests, is to act as a tank on the front line, absorbing damage. Some of them have taunt characteristics, which can make themselves the priority target for enemies, thus gathering monsters and drawing fire. They are very crucial in the team. So, which of these important Guardians should you choose? In this article, we will recommend some quite powerful and useful ones for your reference.

1. Lucy
Lucy is a 4-star character given at the start, easy to obtain while having no less impressive area output and shields. Her normal attack deals two hits to a single enemy. Her "Candlelight Inferno" rushes forward after consecutive slashes, causing an explosion that deals physical damage to all enemies within range and grants herself a 280% shield lasting 15 seconds. If the final hit successfully lands, it permanently reduces the target's attack by 15%. Her special skill adds a certain percentage of shield based on her maximum HP.

2. Kacey
Kacey, being a 6-star, has no need for further explanation regarding her strength. She possesses all the necessary traits of a Guardian: damage absorption, taunt, and output, along with unique super armor breaking and debuff effects. Her normal attack deals 80% physical damage to the target. Her "Heavenly Collapse" upon entry, applies a 10-second taunt to all enemies within a large area, reducing their movement speed by 40% during this period. She then follows up with a high-damage attack that breaks super armor; after upgrading, she can also reduce the damage rate of hit enemies by an additional 20%. Her special skill charges forward, knocking back enemies, followed by a sword slash that deals physical damage and knocks them airborne. If the attacked enemy is under taunt, it will deal an extra 7% of their maximum HP as physical damage.

3. Chloe
Chloe is a 5-star. Her normal attack fires water bullets, dealing magic damage to the target and healing the teammate with the lowest HP who is in symbiosis. Her "Praise Chant" upon entry selects the nearest teammate within a certain range and enters symbiosis with them. If there are no other teammates in symbiosis, she will select one from the range to enter symbiosis. Her "Princess' Hymn" grants a 5-second shield to herself and all teammates in symbiosis centered around her.

4. Ash
Ash is also a 5-star. His normal attack deals 70% physical damage to the target. His "Earthquake Smash" upon entry, after a brief charge, slams his axe into the ground, dealing 216% damage and knocking back enemies in front of him. His "Axe Storm" rotates his axe while slowly moving forward, attacking surrounding enemies three times and slightly dragging them backwards.
5. Cera
Cera, also a 5-star, is a more unique summoning type among Guardians. The cages she summons can absorb a lot of damage, making her survival ability very strong. Her "Song of the Cage" upon entry, summons 2 cages on either side in front of her. The cages inherit 100% of Cera's defense and 35% of her HP. After enhancement, when a cage is destroyed, it imposes a 3-second immobilization on nearby enemies. Her "Caged Bird" restores HP to existing cages on the field; if there are none, she will summon 1 in front of her.

6. Martida
Martida's normal attack deals physical damage to the nearest enemy. Her "Powerful Charge" upon entry, jumps to the highest-attack enemy within range, landing with a high physical damage and applying an 8-second taunt. If the jump target location is inaccessible, the skill will be interrupted; the jump ignores terrain obstacles. Her "Lance Thrust" attacks the target five times, slightly pushing them back.
7. Darryl
Darryl's normal attack slashes the enemy, dealing physical damage. Her "Devoted Sacrifice" applies a 10-second taunt to enemies within range and grants herself a 30-second physical shield that absorbs damage. Her "Fearless Charge" performs a short dash, knocking the target airborne and dealing decent physical damage.

This concludes our recommendations for the Guardian characters in the game. All those mentioned above are quite useful and powerful. You can choose based on your available resources and team composition, letting your preferred Guardian protect the rest of the team and lead them to victory.
