Description[]
The Guardian is a slow zombie with 60,000 health. This zombie spawns only twice in a normal game at Wave 40 and 3 times in Wave 0000000. The guardian appears alongside the void.
Offensive Abilities[]
Guardian has the ability to make a tower bleed for around 20 seconds by hitting the tower with its axe. The tower will have blood particles emitting from it and will not attack Zombies, use its ability, or be upgraded. Passive effects such as attack speed buff are still preserved.
Tactics[]
Defense[]
- The Guardians are meant to shield the Void, as well as punish players if their defenses are too slow.
- Phasers are effective against Guardians as they deal very high damage to single targets, and can lock onto zombies like it and the Void before other zombies can be targeted.
- Golden Commandos, Zeds, Railgunners, and Golden Scouts, paired with the Commander's and DJ's firerate buffs, can chip their health down quickly.
- Be aware that Guardians can stun cliff units if they are low enough, so it is advised to place them further away or on higher locations.
Offense[]
- Sending Boss4s in Versus mode can distract towers from targeting them, especially Phasers.
Trivia[]
- The Guardian is now the only zombie currently to wear a Dominus hat since the Necromancer Boss has been visually changed and no longer wears a Dominus hat.
- The Guardian's axe is a modified version of the Orinthian Axe Roblox gear.
- The Guardian is the only zombie that was released in the 5/17/2018 update.
- The Guardian is one of the three Zombies to have special material, the other being Titan and Golem (2019).
- Its armor in the first appearance is very similar to Patient Zero’s armor.
- The Guardian's death sound originates from the Tank Left 4 Dead.
Glitches[]
- Sometimes a Guardian will stop in the middle of the path and even though its walk animation stays the same, it doesn't move. This is not confirmed yet to be fixed.
- When a Guardian attacks a spawner building, it softlocks it with permanent bleed, rendering it useless until replaced. It is unknown if this will be fixed.
- The Guardian's axe attack may permanently stun Flamethrowers.
- It is recommended to sell the flamethrower to counter this bug.
