The Guardian

An Act 1 boss that flips between attack and defence as you damage it.

The Guardian is one of the three bosses that can appear at the end of Act 1 in Slay the Spire, with 240 HP (250 on Ascension 9 and up). Its Mode Shift counter drops as you damage it, and when it reaches zero the Guardian switches from Offensive Mode to Defensive Mode and gains 20 Block.

Background

In Offensive Mode it cycles through Charging Up, Fierce Bash, Vent Steam and Whirlwind; returning from Defensive Mode raises its Mode Shift threshold by 10.
