Guard Armor: Difference between revisions

The '''Guard Armor''' is an Emblem [[Heartless]] that is found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''.  It is one of the bosses at [[Traverse Town]] and [[Olympus Coliseum]]. The various pieces of the Guard Armor, known as "Armored Torso", "Gauntlets", and "Hammerlegs", are able to move independently, and by rearranging its pieces, the Guard Armor can transform into the more powerful [[Opposite Armor]].

==Strategy==

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. Doing so will make the limbs drop needed HP balls. The Guard Armor will also throw itself up in the air and come crashing down near Sora's position. The player must try to dodge this as it will take away half of their HP. To dodge, simply jump out of the way. Its attacks are deflectable.

The strategy for the Guard Armor is slightly different in ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'' due to the fact of not having unlimited attacks. Using the Green Mickey card will make the Guard Armor collapse and this allows you to attack the limbs respectively. Then when the Guard Armor is only the torso and head, attacking the head is simple but one must dodge the attacks quickly as [[Sora]] does not have that much HP.

In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'' using a [[Goofy]] [[Friend Card]] and one Attack card to use Goofy's strike limit attack works wonders in this battle.

The Guard Armor is extremely resistent against all forms of magic, so melee attacks should be used to overcome it. Jump and attack its head, then move away when it begins to march and swat at the ground, then circle it to continue attacking its head.

===Attacks===

*'''Spinning Claw''': The Guard Armor's gauntlets spin around trying to hit players.

*'''Stomp''': The hammerlegs stomp around to hit players.

*'''Tornado''': The Armored Torso spins around at high speed.

*'''Smash''': The Guard Armor jumps into the air and body slams players.

The Guard Armor in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'' is fairly easy to beat. At the start of the battle it will jump and stomps the ground, this can be easily avoided with a well-timed Dodge Roll. If it jumps and disappears on top of the screen, be ready to dodge as a few columns of blox will fall along with it. If it raises both its hands, it will shoot both of them towards Data-Sora, you can either dodge by using Dodge Roll or just jump out of the way. It can also summon a Soldier or a Shadow, but be careful when it does, since usually it will ready its cannon. Although the cannon seems threatening, it's actually very easy to dodge, just run to the opposite direction of the Guard Armor and stay there. The cannon's charging time is pretty long, so you should have plenty of time to get out of the way. Overlay commands can really help in this fight, especially the Blizzard Dart since it's ranged. Otherwise, look for openings and attack it, the Guard Armor should fall with ease.
