Guards are not mere decoration. Their attack, armour, speed, and bravery feed directly into your combat power whenever the game resolves a fight against another player.
In both PvP challenges and murder attempts, your guards are calculated together with equipment, dragon, hero bonuses, skills, health, and experience.
When guards die
In murder outcomes, guards can be lost permanently. The game may remove up to two random guards from an involved character and sends a system message for each loss.
Common casualty outcomes include:
- successful kill resolution
- draw resolution
- Captain's Sacrifice resolution
Standard PvP uses guard stats for power but does not permanently delete your guards.
