__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Gold Guard''' was a large guardian [[Enemies|enemy]] exclusive to [[Golden Mode Waves|Golden]] mode. The '''Gold Guard''' always spawned before the [[Gold Titan]]. Its main purpose was to protect the [[Gold Titan]].

It could impale towers with its trident, stunning them for a brief period of time. Unlike other golden enemies, it was not immune to splash damage. However, it did have energy and freeze immunity.

==Appearance==
The '''Gold Guard''' was made entirely of gold, with a light yellow dominus, pauldrons and a trident. The pauldrons were skull-shaped and had glowing neon eyes. It also wore a light yellow robe and had light yellow wings. The '''Gold Guard''' was faceless, and its head was glowing neon.

==Strategy==
*Despite the common sense of taking the '''Gold Guards''' down first, they aren't too much of a threat given their inferior attacks when compared to the [[Gold Titan]]. However they will reach the exit first, so keep that in mind.
**In any case, it is a good idea to take these down before all attacking towers switch to the [[Gold Titan]].
*The '''Gold Guard''' spawns in a group of three. Unlike other golden [[enemies]], the '''Gold Guard''' is not immune to splash damage.
**While the [[Rocketeer]] and [[Mortar]] can be effective against the '''Gold Guard''', the fact that the [[Gold Titan]] (and its spawned enemies) are immune to splash damage means that these towers are not recommended, in general.
*[[Minigunner]]s, [[Ranger|Outlaws]] and [[Turret]]s are excellent options against these enemies.
**The [[Commander]] can boost the firerate of these towers.
*Try not to group towers together so that the '''Gold Guard''' cannot stun all of your towers at once.
**It is also advised to place them further away from the path to ensure the '''Gold Guard''' is unable to attack them.
*The [[Medic]]'s ability can cleanse towers stunned by '''Gold Guard''', provided that the [[Medic]] is not stunned itself.
*You cannot use the [[Freezer]] or the [[Frost Blaster]] to slow this down as it has freeze immunity.
**Be aware that the [[Electroshocker]] can only slow the '''Gold Guard''' down for a very short period of time due to its large size and energy immunity.
