Guardians

* Other Languages

**Guardians** are obtainable units that aid Agents in *Night Agent*. They can be acquired after completing Stage 1-5

## How to Obtain

Guardians can primarily be obtained by using   Scratch cards or   Mysterious Scratch cards (purchased with Diamonds though also available through Daily Quests, Tutoring, Dispatch Missions, or rewards from certain game modes) to perform Summons. Xuangui • Spring is a guaranteed guardian in the second Summon in the Standard Summon.

The only other way to obtain Guardians is collecting their respective pieces and synthesizing them once enough is collected. Guardians with different rarities require different amounts of pieces before they can be synthesized. You can obtain some guardians' pieces by:

* Buying from Shops.
* Completing story stages.
* Completing certain number of stages in Demon Lord Castle.

## Seasonal Forms

Each Guardian has four different forms that correspond to the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. The Spring and Winter form of a Guardian provides buffs in the HP, Attack Power, Armor, and Critical attributes, while the Summer and Autumn forms buff HP, AP, Armor and Dodge.

An Agent has four positions to equip Guardians in. Combinations of the same Guardian's different forms can yield Set Effects, which are special buffs to the Agent in addition to the Guardians' own Skill Effects.

## Skill Effects

Each Guardian's form has a Skill Effect, which acts as a passive buff to the equipped Agent's attributes or other statistics.

By ranking up a Guardian, their Skill Effect will also be upgraded and provide stronger enhancements than before.

## Set Effects

If two or four of a Guardian's different forms are equipped on the same Agent, they can provide the Agent with the Guardian's Set Effects on top of their individual Skill Effects, which are additional buffs that can be passive, triggered for a certain period of time, triggered depending on the Agent's condition, etc.. Unlike Skill Effects, Resonance Effects are not affected by the Guardians' levels.

## Resonance Effects

If an Agent has a 5-Star exclusive Guardian, having more than one of its forms equipped will provide them with Resonance Effects that significantly buff their HP, Attack Power, Armor, Critical, and Dodge attributes. Having all four forms of their exclusive Guardian equipped will also let the Agent start with 10 extra SP when deployed.

## Progression

### Level Up

Guardians gain experience by consuming Guardian EXP Materials or other Guardians. Levelling up increases a guardian's attributes and overall Might, which in turn increases the respective attributes and Might of the Agent equipped with it. A guardian can only level up to the level their current rank allows, which can be increased through Rank Ups up to a certain level depending on the guardian's rarity, with Level 60 being the maximum level only achievable by 5-Star Guardians.

All Guardians start off needing 540 EXP to level up. The amount needed to level up increases by 15 after each level up.

### Rank Up

Guardians can rank up by consuming another Guardian of the same name in the Rank Up menu. This raises their level cap and improves their skill effect. A Guardian can only rank up to a Rank equal to their star rarity. The highest Rank a Guardian can attain is Rank 5, even if they are of 6-Star rarity.

Six-Eared Macaque and Sage of Destruction can be consumed by any 4-Star or 5-Star Guardian respectively to rank up, making them exceptions to the first rule.

### Breaking

Guardians can be broken into Guardian EXP Materials, Spirit or Divine Souls of the Guardian, depending on their Rank and rarity. Each higher Rank increases the items obtained in exchange for breaking the Guardian proportional to the items they can be exchanged for at Rank 0. For example, a Rank 0 3-Star Guardian can be exchanged for 2 , while a Rank 1 3-Star Guardian can be exchanged for 4 , a Rank 2 for 6 , and a Rank 3 for 8 . The following is the exchanged items table of Guardians depending on their rarity:
