- Guardian is the tank / defense class built around the Stonewall Repulsor.
- The documented seed loadout uses GK2 or Stubby with a magazine roll plus Devastator Blaster.
- The core loop is: set barrier in a chokepoint, hold the line, repulse breakers.
- Falconer is a documented synergy because Guardian can hold ground while the drone roams.
Loadout
| Slot | Pick | Source note |
|---|---|---|
| Gauntlet | Stonewall Repulsor | Deployable energy barrier plus repulsive force push; also fires directed energy attacks. |
| Primary | GK2 or Stubby | Documented build wants a magazine roll. GK2 is a hit-scan assault rifle; Stubby is a modifiable SMG. |
| Secondary | Devastator Blaster | Full-auto pistol with explosive rounds and high splash. |
Upgrade priority
Documented upgrade targets, with costs still TBA:
- Barrier duration — TBA cost.
- Shield regen — TBA cost.
- Repulse cooldown — TBA cost.
- Magazine roll for GK2 or Stubby — TBA cost.
Synergies and playstyle tips
- Build around chokepoints whenever the arena allows it.
- Put the barrier where teammates can fight behind it instead of scattering across the room.
- Use repulse to stop enemies that break through the frontline.
- Falconer is the documented synergy: Guardian anchors the team while the Buzzard drone roams.
Counters and struggles
- Open-arena swarms where chokepoints do not form are the documented counter.
- If the room gives no natural hold point, stay mobile and use the barrier as a temporary reset rather than a permanent wall.
