"A Fallen Guardian on the field!
But if he’s here, then you know who is coming soon."

―Commander dialogue on Wave 38 (Fallen)

Description

The Fallen Guardian is an enemy that appears in Fallen mode, often acting as a guardian enemy for the Fallen King. It can also appear in High Rank PVP Test, but only if sent by a player. It has a high amount of health and walks quite fast for how high its health is. Additionally, it has 50% defense, reducing most forms of damage by 33%. It has a single ability, where it slashes its sword at towers, stunning them and dealing 150 damage to units.

Appearance

The Fallen Guardian has black skin. It wears blue armor that consists of a chestplate, leggings, shoulder-pads, gloves and shoes. It also wears a yellow belt and a grey cape. On its torso, it has a blue gem. It has multiple blue crystals on its head. It wields a purple sword that it uses to stun towers with.

Strategy

• High DPS towers, such as the Accelerator, Engineer and Turret are recommended to take this enemy down.
  • The DJ Booth, Commander and Mercenary Base can be used to boost these towers.
• The Medic can be used to cleanse towers stunned by the Fallen Guardian's Royal Slash ability.
  • Alternatively, you can place cheap towers along the path to divert the ability away from your main damage towers.
  • You can also use towers immune to stuns, such as the Ranger, Pursuit and Brawler.
• You can use defense dropping towers, such as the Pyromancer, Frost Blaster or Cryomancer to decrease this enemy's defense.
• On Wave 39, the Fallen Guardian spawns alongside a large horde of Fallen Jesters, which can easily overwhelm your defenses if they apply both bloated and nimble to Fallen Guardians that spawn on that wave.
  • Killing the Fallen Jesters that appear on that wave can make killing the Fallen Guardians easier, however, a lot of DPS towers can generally handle them quite well.
  • The Military Base can be quite useful on this wave, as its Airstrike ability allows it to easily take care of the Fallen Jesters that spawn there.
  • The Gatling Gun will be amazing at taking out the Fallen Jester horde on Wave 39, as at Level 6 it will quite easily kill them before they can buff any enemies due to its high damage and ability to pierce through enemies.
