Perfect Guard (
Characteristics[]
All Perfect Guard units have the following characteristics in common:
- They have a printed [Shield] of 0.
- They have Sentinel, so you may only have up to four in your deck, even if they have different names.
How it Works[]
When a Perfect Guard unit is placed on (GC), by discarding a card from their hand, the player chooses one of their units that is being attacked, and that chosen unit cannot be hit by the attack until end of the battle, regardless of the [Power] or [Critical] of the attacking unit.
History[]
Originally, Perfect Guard units required that the card discarded and unit protected both be of the same clan as the Perfect Guard unit. Starting from Booster Set 16: Legion of Dragons & Blades, new Perfect Guard units no longer have this restriction due to Clan Fight regulations making it irrelevant. However, some Perfect Guard units still have Sub-Clan restrictions, often due to them having other abilities in addition to Perfect Guard.
Variants[]
- G Booster Set 1: Generation Stride introduced a variant called "Perfect Guard G". These units, such as Holy Knight Guardian and Hoop Master, include a bonus or other abilities in addition to the Perfect Guard ability if another card with the same name is present in the player's drop zone. Blue Storm Shield, Homerus is another variant of "Perfect Guard G", which is exclusive for a Sub-Clan.
- TRY3 NEXT introduced Perfect Guard ("Security Knight, Regius") that can have a extra effect or an alternative cost if the vanguard or the target have a specific archetype or Keyword.
- V Booster Set 01: Unite! Team Q4 introduced grade 0 draw trigger units with the Perfect Guard ability.
- V Trial Deck 01: Aichi Sendou and V Trial Deck 02: Toshiki Kai introduced grade 1 Perfect Guards with [Power] 7000. Before Series, Perfect Guard units had [Power] 6000.
- V Extra Booster 07: The Heroic Evolution introduced grade 1 Perfect Guards with an extra skill that activates when the player rides the unit.
- Imaginary Gift:Protect I grants the player a pseudo-card in their hand that has the Perfect Guard ability.
- D Booster Set 01: Genesis of the Five Greats introduced new grade 1 Perfect Guards that don't require a discard if the player is at 1 or less cards in hand.

Trivia[]
- Etranger is the only clan so far without a Perfect Guard, excluding Thai-exclusive cards.
- With the release of Booster Set 10: Triumphant Return of the King of Knights, Gold Paladin, Narukami and Royal Paladin became the first clans to have two Perfect Guard units.
- Booster Set 10 also introduced Perfect Guards for Sub-Clans, e.g. Dark Revenger, Mac Lir, Eradicator Wyvern Guard, Guld, Flashing Jewel Knight, Iseult, etc.
- This excludes Battle Sister, Chocolat, which was made before Battle Sisters became a supported sub-clan.
- G Booster Set 11: Demonic Advent introduced "true" Perfect Guards for archetypes; in which Maiden of Divine Spring, Lien can only guard cards from specific archetypes.
- While Security Knight, Regius from earlier booster G Character Booster 1: TRY3 NEXT has a similar ability, it can also function as normal Perfect Guard for other units.
- Flash Shield, Iseult (V Series) and Wyvern Guard, Barri (V Series) were the first grade 0 Perfect Guards to be revealed.
- In VD #2, Tatewaki Naitou referred to these cards as "Absolute Guard" (完璧ガード Kanpeki Gādo). In Japanese, both "kanzen" and "kanpeki" can be translated as "perfect". All other characters in the English dub of the Series anime refer to Perfect Guard as "Complete Guard." In the English dub of the original series, characters referred to Perfect Guard as "nullifying an attack."
