Perfect Guard (かんぜんぼうぎょ Kanzen Bōgyo,かんぜん ガード Kanzen Gādo, also known as "Perfect Defense", "Complete Guard", and "Absolute Guard" (see Trivia) in the anime) is an official term, introduced in Booster Set 1: Descent of the King of Knights, which refers to cards with a special ability to provide complete defense against an attack.

Characteristics

All Perfect Guard units have the following characteristics in common:

  • They have a printed [Shield] Shield icon 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] Power icon or [Critical] Critical icon 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.
