__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Gold Guard''' wasis a large guardian [[Enemies|enemy]] exclusive to [[Golden Mode|Golden]] mode, which is exclusive to [[Sandbox Mode|Sandbox]] mode. The '''Gold Guard''' always spawnedspawns before the [[Gold Titan]]. Its main purpose wasis to protect the [[Gold Titan]].
 
It couldcan impale towers with its trident, stunning them for a brief period of time. It hadhas [[Freeze Immunity]], making it impossible to freeze and chill, and the [[Stun Immunity]], making it impossible to knock back and making it only get slowed down by stuns.
 
==Appearance==
The '''Gold Guard''' wasis made entirely of gold, with a light yellow dominus, pauldrons and a trident. The pauldrons wereare skull-shaped and had glowing neon eyes. 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 are 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|Outlaw]]s and [[Turret]]s are excellent options against these enemies.▼
*'''Golden Guards''' spawn in a group of three, but as they have splash damage immunity, you will have to take down these enemies one by one.
**Additionally, the [[Commander]] and [[DJ Booth]] can be used to boost the DPS of your towers.
▲*Due to their high DPS, [[Minigunner]]s, [[Ranger|Outlaw]]s and [[Turret]]s are excellent options against these enemies.
*The [[Medic]]'s ability can cleanse towers stunned by '''Gold Guard''', provided that the [[Medic]] is not stunned itself.▼
**Additionally, the [[Commander]] can be used to decrease the firerate of your towers, while [[Militant|John]]'s ''Gorilla Noises'' ability can be used to increase their damage.
*Due to its immunities, it cannot be frozen, chilled or knocked back by towers, reducing the number of towers that can stall it.
*Try not to group towers together so that the '''Gold Guard''' cannot stun all of your towers at once.
**Stunning towers will also only slow it down instead of stunning it.
**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]] (including its ''Ice Age'' ability) or the [[Frost Blaster]] to slow this down. If you want to slow this down, you will need to use the [[Electroshocker]] or [[Pyromancer]].
**Be aware that the [[Electroshocker]] will only slow the '''Gold Guard''' down by 15% as opposed to the 30% experienced by regular enemies.
