'''Slag guards''' are a type of [[monsters|monster]] found in the [[Clockworks]].
+
 
+
==Traits==
+
Slag guards are only found in the throne room of the [[Firestorm Citadel]], and even then only when spawned by either [[Vanaduke]] or [[Darkfire Vanaduke]] on his final stage. They appear to be slag walkers in a special suit of armor, and they attack by randomly charging into knights, doing normal damage(they are the only undead monsters to do no shadow damage on tier 3). The cursed dreadnaught variation has the distinction of being one of only three monster types (the others being carnavons and [[phantoms]]) that can inflict the [[curse]] status, making them an even more dangerous addition to the battle.

Slag Guards are summoned by [[Lord Vanaduke]] in his final stage.

* Lance Charge: The Slag Guard charges at you at high speed, anything that comes in contact or even gets close to the Guard's body takes a large amount of damage. If the Guard comes in direct contact with a knight, it will thrust its lance, potentially dealing an even larger amount of damage.

Defeated Slag Guards will always drop a few hearts and possibly a vitapod, but no other items.

==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 to 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 you move out of their way and attack their back. Also note on performing a charge, they will turn around to face their target very fast, which makes it very tricky to land hits alone. You may need a teammate to help attack if you can't do it fast enough yourself.

[[file:Slag Guard Awareness.png|thumb|240px| Awareness Radius for Slag Guards]]
+
The slag guards have a purple awareness meter, going in this area will make the slag aggro whoever is in it's proximity.
+
Note that is is labled the "Rez Ring," which is the same mechanic used for the grim totems.
+
+
==Trivia==
+
* The slag guards and slag walkers Vanaduke summons are probably undead Almiran citizens, considering the backstory of the [[Firestorm_Citadel#Lore|Firestorm Citadel]].
+
* Despite appearing to be beefed-up slag walkers, neither variety of the Slag Guard can inflict fire, and they can recieve the fire status from weapons or vials.
