When building your Guardian Class in Sword x Staff, there is a lot to mind, starting by skills (techniques and charms) to gear and stats and they all scale and need to synergize well to work. Below we have everything you need as easily wrapped up as possible.
Important! Please mind that all classes in Sword x Staff have very individual playstyles along strengths and weaknesses. If you’re not sure which one will fit you or you’re not that happy with the class you chose, make sure to check out my guide about class overview here in Sword x Staff to pick the class that will fit your preferences and then use my guides to build them.
Forget all the ‘this is the best class to pick’ guides out there – every class can be useful and you should have different setups even within your classes for different encounters.
The guardian class gets some more love int erms of being able to deal damage

Best Gear Setup for your Guardian Class
Here’s where it gets real and most players absolutely underestimate the importance of gear and just equip what the game tells them is better and then get stuck for days. The issue is your gear stats and abilities HAVE TO BE on point to scale or your build is doomed. We have here the real setups you need. Below you will find the ideal setup for each gear slot and each rarity

Shield
Helmet
Armor
Boots

These are the ideal stats on your gear, depending what rarity you use. Since higher rarity gear unlocks more possible sup-stats, the importance of having the right stats is even higher.

Many players underestimate the importance of the gear stats also for progressing in a new season. Our recommendation will give you a clear path to what gear is useful and which one not and investing that time once will scale into your build with every single digit so please stop believing sources that tell you that throwing together these bunch of techniques and charms is it. Gear is what really makes the skills work or not because if your stats are not there, no technique or charm will work well
Best Fantomons
The best actively deployed combat fantomons to use are:
Please mind that the fantomons you don’t use in combat only provide stats, so you use the highest rarity one on the 100% slot and the next-lower rarity ones in the 50% slots. The stats are based on rarity really and there is no other strategy to that. The above list shows what fantomon to use ACTIVELY IN COMBAT.
