If that Fallen Guardian is here, that could only mean the King is nearby. Commander, please be careful.

Description

The Fallen Guardian is an enemy that appears in Fallen mode and The Takeover Event, often acting as a guardian enemy for the Fallen King. It can also appear in Fallen Arena PVP, but only if sent by a player. It has a high amount of health and walks quite fast for how high its health is. Additionally, it has 30% defense, reducing most forms of damage by ~23%. It has a single ability, where it slashes its sword at towers, stunning them and dealing 150 damage to units.

Logbook Description

"Fallen Guardians stood watch at the front of the castle, the first line of defense against any who would threaten their kingdom. All who entered honored them, and on the battlefield they were the most feared warriors."

Appearance

The Fallen Guardian has black skin. It wears blue armor that consists of a chestplate, leggings, shoulder-pads, gloves and shoes. It also wears a yellow belt and a grey cape. On its torso, it has a blue gem. It has multiple blue crystals on its head. It wields a purple sword that it uses to stun towers with.

It has a death animation where it falls on its back.

Strategy

• High DPS towers, such as the Accelerator, Engineer and Turret are recommended to take this enemy down.
  • The DJ Booth, Commander and Mercenary Base can be used to boost these towers.
• The Medic can be used to shield towers, preventing them from being stunned by the Fallen Guardian's Royal Slash ability.
  • Alternatively, you can place cheap towers along the path to divert the ability away from your main damage towers.
  • You can also use towers immune to stuns, such as the Ranger, Pursuit and Gatling Gun.
• You can use defense dropping towers, such as the Pyromancer, Frost Blaster or Cryomancer to decrease this enemy's Defense.
  • Due to bugs, freezing towers can complete stop the Fallen Guardian from moving if it is frozen while performing its ability.
