__TOC__

==Description==
The '''Body Guard''' was a [[Units|unit]] spawned by the [[Crook Boss]] at Level 1 and 2. As with other [[units]], it started from the end of the map path and moved towards the entrance of the map.

Whenever there was an enemy in its range, the '''Body Guard''' would stop moving to shoot at the enemies. It would then continue walking when there were no enemies left in its range. The '''Body Guard''' initially had a spawnrate of 60 seconds, which was decreased to 45 seconds if its parent [[Crook Boss]] was at Level 2.

There was a limit of one unit per [[Crook Boss]] at Levels 1 and 2, which limited the amount of '''Body Guards''' it could spawn.

==Appearance==
The '''Body Guard''' had pale skin. It had grey pants, black cotton gloves, and a buttoned tuxedo with short sleeves that had dark grey outlines and black shoes. It also wore a grey necktie and was faceless. The '''Body Guard''' wielded a [[wp:Kimber Custom|Kimber Covert]] in its right hand.

==Strategy==
*You should not rely too much on the '''Body Guard''' because of its slow spawnrate.
*You will need to wait 60 seconds for a '''Body Guard''' to spawn if you place down a [[Crook Boss]] and immediately upgrade it to Level 1.
*The '''Body Guard''' can deal full collision damage to enemies with [[defense]], like the [[Giant Boss]].
**However, the '''Body Guard's''' ranged damage is still affected by enemies with [[defense]].
*The '''Body Guard''' cannot detect [[Hidden (Attribute)|hidden]] and [[Flying]] enemies, but they can still be damaged when the '''Body Guard''' collides with them. However, this is likely unfavorable as the '''Body Guard's''' damage comes primarily from firing at enemies rather than collision.
**The [[Ace Pilot]] cannot give the '''Body Guard''' hidden detection.
**The '''Body Guard''' cannot collide with ghost enemies, like the [[Soul]].
*On maps with multiple paths, only one '''Body Guard''' will spawn per Level 1 and 2 [[Crook Boss]]. 
**The '''Body Guard''' will go down a random path.
*The '''Body Guard''' will struggle against fast enemies, like the [[Shock]] or [[Glitch]], as they can run into the '''Body Guard''' without taking much damage.
*The '''Body Guard''' is not affected by any buff or debuff.
*The '''Body Guard''' will struggle against any enemy with abilities that damage units, because of its low health.
**For example, if the [[Fallen King (Legacy)|Fallen King]] uses its ''Stomp'' attack, and a '''Body Guard''' is caught in the attack, it is instantly killed.

==Trivia==
*In the [[Overhaul v1.3|Frost Invasion Update]], the '''Body Guard''' and [[Body Guards 1]] replaced the [[Crook]].
*The '''Body Guard''' was duplicated for the Level 3 [[Crook Boss]] [[Units|unit]], the [[Body Guards 1]].
