Guards

Currently the game has 6 guards, of which 3 (Sacred Knight, Sanctuary Hunter and Battle Cleric) are available free to play, and 3 are available via seasonal content / limited time events.

Guards can be upgraded in various ways, but the main three are:

• Refinement - which is to upgrade the amount of stars on a guard by collecting Guard Shards from the daily Guard Recruitment, dungeons or events. Higher stars allow you to unlock passive skills.
• Gear upgrading - which changes the rarity of the guard. In each bracket (Common,Rare,Epic,Legendary), you will need to upgrade all 8 gear pieces, in order to unlock the next rarity of the guard.
• Guard Mastery - which over time unlocks extra skill bonuses by playing the weekly Guard War dungeon.

FAQ #

Should I do Guard war Normal, Hero or Hell?

All levels of Guard War give Dust of Battle. Dust is an essential upgrade material for Guard Mastery. Every 5 levels of mastery, you will need the Scroll of Insight as additional upgrade materials. These are only available from the Guard War chests.
Therefor the advice is to run Hero with 3/4 chest instead of Hell without chests. Once you can run Hell with chests, focus on Hell instead.

I recommend doing hero with 3-4 chest, since guard's mastery require scroll of insight every 5 level and we can only have them from chest

How do I get chests in Guard war?

On every floor there are two bosses. You can go to the next floor defeating one of them, or both. If you only defeat one of them, you will earn a chest, but the final boss will get a strong buff. The buffs are shown in a little table on the side of the screen.

If you defeat both, you will not earn a chest, but a buff is removed from the final boss.

If you cannot defeat the final boss with 4 chests, then try to attack both bosses on the first floor. The healing buff will then be removed, and you might be able to kill the boss with 3 chests instead.

Guard Battle Box II provides one of:

• 50x Dust of Battle
• 5x Scroll of Insight I
• 2x Scroll of Insight II

Guard Battle Box III provides one of:

• 115x Dust of Battle
• 5x Scroll of Insight I
• 2x Scroll of Insight II
• 1x Scroll of Insight III

When you are unsure, always run Guard War without rewards first.
