Iron Guard

:For the shield, see Iron Guard.
The Iron Guard is a regular sized titan, appearing thought-out the entirety of the Infinity Blade Trilogy. In Infinity Blade I and II, the Iron Guard wears the Shadow helm, the Night Armor, the Phoenix Guard shield, and is armed with a Shard. 
==Location Infinity Blade I==
The Iron Guard can be randomly encountered at The Courtyard Balcony, The Bridge, and the Dungeon. He can also be fought in round 2 of Survival Mode. And can be played in the new discontinued Multiplayer Mode, after the Feral Troll. 
==Infinity Blade II== 
The Rogue Knight appears once again in Infinity Blade II, in a nigh identical state to how he appeared in Infinity Blade II. He is fairly uncommon compared to other enemies in Infinity Blade II, but is overall unchanged. 
==Combat Infinity Blade I and II==
The Iron Guard is Light, Regular Sized, fast fighting enemy, who will often use kicks, and shield bashes during combat, Iron Guard fights nearly identically to other light Normal Sized Titans. And is overall rather unremarkable and has no unique traits or abilities. 
==Stepbacks Infinity Blade I and II==
Double Slash 
Insert Stepback here
Analysis	Analysis	Analysis
In this Stepback the Iron Guard moves back, then delivers a diagonal slash from the left, and then another diagonal Slash from the right.
This Stepback can be avoided in multiple ways, by far the easiest is to simply parry the first left slash by swiping to the left. This will interrupt the Stepback and allow you to do damage. Alternatively, you can also dodge to the left, and then right to avoid the first and second slash respectively, or duck under both provided you are using Dual Weapons. If you're having trouble with either of these then holding shield will also work, it's just the least efficient sense it will give you the least amount of time to strike back, and Iron Guard can still deal damage if he has elemental attacks, provided you don't have a corresponding elemental defense shield or gem.

Bash Kick Slash
Analysis	Analysis	Analysis
In this Stepback the Iron Guard moves back, then delivers a shield bash from the right, following up quickly with a kick to the center, and finishing with a slash to from the left. 
This Stepback can be avoided in multiple ways, the most optimal is dodge in any direction to avoid the shield bash, dodge to the left or right to avoid the kick, and then duck or dodge to the left to avoid the final swing, or parry it by swiping to the left, whichever is easier. Shielding is not advisable here, as the shield bash can go through your guard. So, if you are going to shield, only do it for the first attack, and make sure you have a corresponding elemental defense shield or gem so he does not damage you though your guard.

Slash Hilt Bash 
Analysis	Analysis	Analysis
In this Stepback Iron Guard takes a defensive stance, and then starts with a sword slash from the left, then, he hits the center with the hilt of his sword, before finishing with a shield bash from the right. 
This Stepback can be avoided in multiple ways, the most optimal is to dodge the first slash by either ducking or moving to the left, then, right before Iron Guard can deliver a blow with his hilt, a stab icon will appear on his chest, hitting it will allow you to interrupt his Stepabck and deal extra damage. Alternatively, one can also doge to the right to avoid the first slash, then dodge to the left or right to avoid the hilt bash, and then dodge in any direction to avoid the shield bash. Shielding is not advisable here, as the shield bash can go through your guard.

==Combat Tips Infinity Blade I and II== 
The Iron Guard can deliver relatively quick attacks and can deal heavy damage. When facing off against him in Infinity Blade II, it is advisable to use Dual Weapons, as you can duck under the majority of attacks, allowing you to beat him with minimal effort. When facing off against him in Infinity Blade I, prioritize parrying over dodging, since Iron Guard moves quick enough that you might not always have enough time dodge out of the way of certain attack chains.
==Infinity Blade III==
The Iron Guard like most enemies in Infinity Blade III, can wield several different types of weapons, and can also be disarmed mid fight, causing him to swap to a different weapon(s).
