Guard (ガード Gādo) is a keyword found on colorless SIGNI. It first appeared in WX-01 Served Selector.
The current reminder text for Guard reads:
| [Guard] (You may discard this card to prevent damage from a single LRIG attack.) |
In addition to the Guard keyword, cards with Guard have a Guard icon (
) located at the center-left part of the card.
When using Guard, there are no level restrictions: you may guard with a SIGNI whose level is higher than your LRIG's level. You cannot use Guard to prevent damage from SIGNI attacks, only LRIG attacks.
For the purposes of cards like Arc Aura, which allow LRIGs to attack multiple times in a turn, Guard can only prevent the damage from one attack. A separate card must be discarded for each distinct attack.
When using Guard against a LRIG with Double Crush, Guard prevents both life cloth from being crushed, as only one damage is being dealt; the only thing that has changed is the outcome of the damage, not the amount of damage.
