Slag Guards are a type of monster found in the Clockworks.

Traits

Slag Guards appear to be large Slag Walkers outfitted in an Almirian Crusader Helm and Almirian Crusader Armor, wielding a large spear and a Blackened Crest. They attack by charging into Knights. Similar to Trojans, they can only be damaged with blows to the back. They also function as mobile Grim Totems, able to revive any Zombies or Bombies that die within their surrounding circle.

Varieties

Strategy

The typical strategy for these monsters is simply to always keep an eye on them. Unlike standard monsters who attack based on how close you are and your actions, these monsters will aggro any person and attack based on a timer instead of actions. The best method to taking down these tricky foes is to simply watch and wait for them to charge and then move out of their way and attack their back. After their charge misses, they will turn around to face their target quickly, which makes it tricky to land hits alone. You may need a teammate to help attack if you can't do it fast enough yourself. Note that their resurrection circle can be used as a warning sign that one is about to charge in from off-screen, so keep an eye on the floor.

Trivia

  • The Slag Guards are probably undead Almirian citizens, considering the backstory of the Firestorm Citadel.
  • Despite appearing to be beefed-up slag walkers, neither variety of the Slag Guard can inflict fire, and they can receive the fire status from weapons or vials.
