Description

The Gold Guard was a large guardian enemy exclusive to Golden mode. The Gold Guard always spawned before the Gold Titan. Its main presence was to protect the Gold Titan.

They 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, 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 spawn 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.
• Minigunners, Rangers and Turrets are excellent options against these enemies.
  • The Commander can boost the DPS of these towers.
• Try not to group towers together so that the Gold Guard cannot stun all of your towers at once.
• 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.
