Guard Armor: Difference between revisions

The {{nihongo|'''Guard Armor'''|ガードアーマー|Gādo Āmā}} is an Emblem [[Heartless]] that is found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. It is one of the bosses at [[Traverse Town]], but also appears in the [[Olympus Coliseum]] matches..

The Guard Armor is the leader of the Soldier-type [[Heartless]], such as [[Soldier|Soldiers]] and [[Large Body|Large Bodies]]. The Guard Armor is the second boss of Traverse Town, as well as the first to be fought with Donald and Goofy in the party. It was sent to destroy the heart of [[Traverse Town]], but was defeated by [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck]], and [[Goofy]]. A second one was deployed to guard the Traverse Town keyhole from Sora, Donald, and Goofy, but flipped upside down into [[Opposite Armor]].

In the [[Olympus Coliseum]], the Guard Armor (the [[Red Armor]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix]]'') was split into three segments, each featured in a separate seed in the [[Phil Cup]]. The 7th Seed featured the two feet (known as Hammerlegs). The 8th Seed featured the two arms (known as Gauntlets). Finally, the 9th Seed featured the torso and head (known as the Armored Torso).

 

The Hammerlegs and Gauntlets can move and react independent from the Armored Torso, and do not require the presence of the Guard Armor's main brain. However, the Armored Torso requires the head's presence to function. This trait is not shared with the Opposite Armor, whose torso can function independently but whose parts all require the presence of the head to work. Most of the armors attacks consist of detaching its arms and legs. It also uses its torso to crush [[Sora]].

 

Guard Armor also appears in the [[Hades Cup]], with all of the parts.

This Boss has a torso and four limbs, all of which act as targets. Remember to watch over your new teammates, since this is your first time controlling a party. Lock onto its torso and attack with combos, since your attacks will most likely strike the limbs as you go past them. Hitting the torso also keeps it from launching its main attack. Just remember to destroy the limbs before you actually finish off the torso. For winning this first battle, you’ll get a Brave Warrior accessory. Future battles against this foe (both during the Traverse Town Keyhole battle and the Hades Cup) do not yield prizes. Portions of this Boss also take part in tournaments as the Hammerlegs, Gauntlets and Armored Torso.
