Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

==Strategy==
==Strategy==
Guardian Form is primarily centered around defense and survivability. Guardian Form prioritizes guarding more than dodging, as its abilities Barrier and Counter Blast grant greater versatility when guarding and counterattacking. As Guardian Form can be accessed very early through Hero's Origin, most of Guardian Form's support abilities provide the most utility early on when such abilities would normally not otherwise be gained, such as the immensely useful [[Second Chance]] and [[Withstand Combo]]. Even when Sora is higher level, such abilities are still valuable assets of Guardian Form especially if Sora did not choose Power of the Guardian during the [[Dive to the Heart]].
When survivability is needed most, it may be helpful to equip Keyblades with Guardian Form Formchanges over Keyblades with similar Formchanges belonging to other Forms, such as [[Hunny Spout]] over [[Shooting Star]], or [[Classic Tone]] over [[Favorite Deputy]].
