1. Introduction [HG0100]
1a. What are Guards [HG0101]
Guards were originally only used to keep other players out of one's house. With the introduction of the Estate System, they have become much more vital. They allow for smoother resource accumulation by defending one's estate buildings from invading monsters.
You can sell lower level guards for less efficient, higher level guards if you need the space. There is a point when you have enough guards to prevent your estate buildings from being attacked at all. It can vary depending on the level of your guard tower.
If you are interested in a guard you see, please visit the House Guard Index to check it out further.
1b. Preventing Invasions [HG0102]
Because the formula for Monster Invading Strength and House/Estate Defending Strength (ie, exactly how much guard power do you need to completely defend your House/Estate from Invasions) was never released, only unofficial date like Player gathered Estimates and Anecdotes are available for how much guard power you need to stop invasions. These numbers are in no way official.
The following are not concrete information, but only extrapolation. Use this at your own discretion, and note that experimenting with purchasing guards from the top of the list on your own is the best way to figure this out.
Based on my calculations of this List:
About 7576.3991 worth of Guard Power was effective enough to prevent all Invasions without Guard Tower for up to at least Lvl 15 Buildings.
Following the Below List With no Guard Tower, have Master of Evil (60) and Level 15 Buildings :
Lvl 150 Guardian:
- Including Rares:
- Everything up to and including Insubstantial Banshee (43) = 7613.488
- No Rares:
- Everything up to and including Drakel Bouncer (105) = 7704.0456
Lvl 135 Adventurer:
- Including Rares:
- Everything up to and including Reverse Fiery Phoenix (66) = 7628.3210
- No Rares:
- Everything up to and including Nightraider Z (75) = 7608.6156
2. Cost Efficiency Chart HG0200
2a. Gold Guards [HG0201]
Unfortunately, there is no way to measure the cost efficiency of Gold Guards. With the removal of Z-Token to Gold conversion in-game and a confirmation from staff that the old ratio was not in anyway accurate, there isn't a good way to quantify how effective the gold guards are. Anyhow, they are all cheap and should be picked up if you have space. Here is a list of all the gold guards, sorted by level:
Level Name
8 Nightraider
25 Dragoncat Guard (Guardian)
35 Nightraider
38 Red Dragon
39 Ice Dragon
60 Master of Evil
65 Nightraider
2b. Z-Token Guards [HG0202]
Guard Power Formula is: GuardLevel^1.5/5
Cost Efficiency Formula is: Power/Cost*1000
Here's a House Guard Spreadsheet to calculate Total Efficiency, Power, and Cost with any combination of Guards.
