It also worewears a light -yellow robe and hadhas light yellow wings. The '''Gold Guard''' wasis faceless, and its head wasis glowing neon.
 
== Strategy ==
* Despite the common sense of taking the '''Gold Guards''' down first, they aren'tare not 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]].
*Due to their high DPS, [[MinigunnerPursuit]]s, [[Ranger|Outlaws]]s and [[Turret]]s are excellent options against these enemies.
* The '''Gold Guard''' spawns in a group of three. Unlike other golden [[enemies]], the '''Gold Guard''' is not immune to splash damage.
**Additionally, Thethe [[Commander]] and [[DJ Booth]] can be used to boost the firerateDPS of theseyour towers.
** 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.
* The [[Medic]]'s ability can cleanse towers stunned by '''Gold Guard''', provided that the [[Medic]] is not stunned itself.
* [[Minigunner]]s, [[Ranger|Outlaws]] and [[Turret]]s are excellent options against these enemies.
*Due to its immunities, it cannot be frozen, chilled or knocked back by towers, reducing the number of towers that can stall it.
** The [[Commander]] can boost the firerate of these towers.
**Stunning towers will also only slow it down instead of stunning it.
* 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.
