This article is about the Heartless.
You may be looking for Xehanort's guardian.

The Guardian is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

DesignEdit

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 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 Watcher Heartless, or, because of its greater power, the fact that it "guards" its weaker relatives.

StrategyEdit

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''' is an enemy that serves as a defender and a provider of in-battle support to [[Xehanort's Heartless|Ansem]] in the first two battles against him in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''.
+The '''Guardian''' is an [[Emblem Heartless]] that is found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''.
-==Story==
+==Design==
-[[Image:Guardian.gif|left]]Ansem had the power to project an unknown [[Heartless]] from behind his back. It served as a familiar to Ansem, and would do most of Ansem's attacking and defending when battling Sora. During the first two battles against Ansem, Ansem would yell "''Come, Guardian!''" before it threw itself in front of him as a shield, hence its unofficial name. Eventually, the Guardian transformed into the [[World of Chaos]].
+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.
-The Guardian resurfaced during ''[[Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+]]'', when [[Riku]] took the form of Xehanort's Heartless to defeat Roxas in the World That Never Was. During this state, Riku loses control and the Guardian pummels Roxas senseless before Riku can stabilize his heart. It appears once again with [[Ansem]] in ''[[ Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'' in Riku's story, but it wasn't real it was just a dark memory in his mind.

+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.
-==In Battle==
+==Strategy==
-The Guardian can attach itself to [[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 like strike raid.  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.

-The Guardian has often been associated with the [[Shadow]], as it bares many resemblances to the [[Neoshadow]], possibly even inspiring its design. It is believed to be a Pureblood heartless, as it bears no emblem, and it is part of Xehanort's Heartless.

-As stated, the Guardian posses many similarities to the [[Neoshadow]] and is considered another form of it. It is unknown whether the Guardian is an actual part of Xehanort's Heartless or not, but this would seem likely, for when [[Sora]] changed into a [[Heartless]], his form was a [[Shadow]], of which the Guardian is believed to be another form. This theory is also supported by the fact that [[Riku]] was able to summon the Guardian in his fight against [[Roxas]], though this may only be a result to the possibility that [[Riku]] spent time with the [[Heartless]] when he was possessed by Xehanort's Heartless. If the Guardian was not connected to Xehanort's Heartless, it is possible it still exists.
