The Guards is a troop card available from Arena 7. It costs 3 Elixir and counts 3 Skeletons that target ground troops in melee range. The Guards is a fast troop with hit speed of 1.2 sec. It starts with 60 hitpoints, 150 shield hitpoints, 60 damage and 50 damage per second and is upgraded up to 115 hitpoints, 289 shield hitpoints, 15 damage and 95 damage per second. They are very good against single troops such as the Dark Prince, but are fragile to troops with high area damage such as the Bomber. The spells are not working very well on the Guards, therefore when countering, the players should consider using cards that deal great area damage. Clash Royale describes the Guards as: “Three ruthless bone brothers with shields. Knock off their shields and all that`s left are three ruthless bone brothers.”
