| The '''Guardian''' is an [[Emblem Heartless]] that is found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Design==
| | The '''Guardian''' is an enemy from ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''. |
| The Guardian is a large, dark grey, funnel-shaped, mechanical Heartless with a diamond-shaped opening in its front, exposing its glowing, yellow eyes. Two dark grey, diamond-shaped guns are mounted on either side of its body. Each of these guns sports a red, pyramidal spike on both of its ends. There is a black ring that acts somewhat like a {{w|gyroscope}} hovering around its base, despite not being directly connected to the Heartless. This ring bears a vague resemblance to the top half of the Nobody symbol. The Guardian has a red spike on the top of its head, and its Heartless emblem is just below the opening for its eyes. | |

|
| A "guardian" is a being that watches over or protects another. This may reference its similar appearance to the [[Surveillance Robot|Watcher]] Heartless, or, because of its greater power, the fact that it "guards" its weaker relatives.
| | ==Story== |
| | [[Xehanort's Heartless|Ansem]] did not battle [[Sora]] alone in the [[End of the World]], he used a familiar [[Heartless]] known as the Guardian. It served as a shield for Ansem during the battles against Sora. It would leap from behind Ansem to block an attack. Eventually, the Guardian transformed into the [[World of Chaos]]. [[Image:Guardian.gif|right]] |
| | The Guardian resurfaced during ''[[Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+]]'', when [[Riku]] used the dark powers to defeat [[Roxas]]. It no longer makes an appearance after being used to subdue Roxas, as Riku, who only used the darkness as his last resort, elects not to summon it any longer for fear of the darkness already eating at him. |
|
| |
|
| ==Strategy==
| | Due to its immense power and ability to transform into a much more powerful version, it is possible that the Guardian is the most powerful of all Heartless. This stems from the fact that some believe the Guardian to be Ansem's true essence, as it primarily does all the fighting between the pair and even appears to Riku after he opens his heart to Ansem's darkness. It is unknown if the Guardian will ever appear again or if it's gone for good. |
| Guardians can be tricky to defeat during early missions in the game, but they become easier to destroy as Roxas levels up. They do not possess a lot of HP, so offensive magic and aerial combos are highly recommended. They have only one attack, shooting a single long-ranged laser in Roxas's direction. This tactic causes the Null Defense status effect, but it can be easily avoided through the use of Dodge Roll. They have a chance of dropping rare Shining Shards when defeated, but also appear with several Watchers in the first encounter with one. For this match, simply use aerial combos in order to eliminate the lesser Heartless before pursuing the Guardian.

| | The Guardian can possess [[Sora]] during the first two Ansem battles. It has the ability to sink into the floor and rise out in a burst of dark energy, similar to [[Cerberus]]' dark attack. It can also fire disks, which appear to be razor-like. When possessing Sora, the "Freeze" command appears frequently, replacing the "Attack" command. Selecting "Freeze" causes the Guardian to hold Sora in place, allowing Ansem to attack the defenseless Sora. It's better to attack when possible and heal when necessary; as the Guardian damages Sora occasionally when in possession. |

| {{HeartlessDirectory}} | | The Guardian has often been associated with the [[Shadow]], as it bares many resemblances to the [[Neoshadow]], possibly even inspiring it's design. It is believed to be a "pure" heartless, as it bares no emblem. However, It was able to produce an emblem once Ansem was defeated, leading to much uncertainty. |
