Hi guys!
Since I didn’t found a guide that’s up-to-date, I decided to write a guide on the new class: “Guardian”.
I am talking about my favourite version of this class: “the Healer Guardian”.
This guide is for the softcore version of Ladder Slasher.

Pros:

-Not that expensive
-Good in the catacombs (multiplayer)
-Good Tank
-High healing ability
-Good for item farming in higher levels


Cons:

-Can’t Solo from med-high level
-Can’t do Well Bosses

The starting stats are:

30 str / 10 dex / 55 vit / 55 int

Items you can use:

Weapons: Clubs
Armors: Heavy armors
Charms: Heal charms


How to stat my char?

-All points into Int, because you get more Mana and your heal charms will get more effective.
-I suggest not to put any points into Vit, because you miss some Mana later and Mana = more Heal = more Health


Which items are the best for my char?

-Weapons: a Club with Healing Mastery! That’s the main thing your looking for!
Int, Life/Mana is useful, but not necessary. But the more you get, the better it is.
Note: As far as we know 1% Heal Mastery = 2 Points of Int.

-Armor: Healing Mastery.. again! But you also want some EE on your armor.
Int, Life/Mana is useful again, but not necessary. It’s always depending on how many fg you want to spend on your char.

-1. Charm: hmm let’s see.. Healing Mastery! But it has to be over 25%, because our heal charm only works on 75% in the acc slot. So if you don’t get a good charm for the first slot, just use your heal charm there.

-Acc Charm: If you got a good first charm, you need your heal charm placed in this slot. I suggest focused heal >normal heal>wild heal with EE
Note: If you use your heal charm in the Acc Slot, you won’t get any bonuses from it, besides the EE!


Leveling:

-1-15 (the only levels that you can solo)
.1-5: Try to get a club with ~30-40EE (or even more) and start slashing heart.gif
If you don’t want to spend fg in your armor just grab any pl8 or chain mail.
Get as much str as possible on your items to level faster.
A heal charm will help you to regen fast!
A charm with str will also help you to lvl faster.

.6-10: If you got the fg, just upgrade your weapon.
When you got/found a good lvl 0 pl8 or chain mail with str, just keep it.
A heal charm will help you here to get your missing life back, when you don’t buy a armor with higher defense .

.11-15: Now it’s getting harder. You will need a lvl 10 weapon to get the mobs down.
After you hit 15 you can get a new weapon and keep on solo’ing or you switch to heal gear (See Which items are the best for my char? ).
But now you need a group to lvl with in the catacombs. Often you will find some nice guys to lvl with.

-15(20+)-7X: Simply try to upgrade your gear every 10 levels.
Note: You don’t need to upgrade your weapon and stat charm, because you only want their bonuses and not any damage
or heal depending on their tier level.

So try to upgrade your armor for more defense and your heal charm for more heal. If you want to solo at level 15 get a good EE club. You will need a lot of EE and a good amount of str
on your armor/charm, since you only got 30 starting str. You can also try to find a group and help fighting with a good club and support them with your heal. It always depends on your
gear and how many fg you want to spend.


Hope this helped you and maybe we see some new guardians out there!

Note: Anyone who can help me with my English in this guide, can pm me with my mistakes and I will correct them! Since this is version 1.0 of this guide I just say: “ Sorry for my English, its not the language im used to speak/write. biggrin.gif

-1. Charm: hmm let’s see.. Healing Mastery! But it has to be over 25%, because our heal charm only works on 75% in the acc slot. So if you don’t get a good charm for the first slot, just use your heal charm there.

I would not suggest doing this

Your accessory charm does 75% of you Main charm. the 25% does not make it 100% but would actually make it about 93%. You will need 35+ to make it even yet again. And that's without any other healing mastery things.

This game is basically about math

Lets take for instance a healing charm that does 100(easy for math here) heals on average. Now if you had an armor and a weapon with 100% heal mastery total you would now have 200 heals on average. Then if you put it into ur accessory you would now have 75% of that= 150.

Now if you still had the same armor and weapon with a 25% heal mastery charm in main with that 100 average heal charm in accessory slot. your heals would then be

75(charm in accessory) x(100%+Heal mastery[125%])

75x 225% = 168.75 heals

So rather than doing 200 average heals in the Main slot with 100% heal mastery you'd do 31.25 less on average with the 25% heal mastery in Main

after:

-Charm: Thats the place for your heal charm. I suggest focused heal >normal heal>wild heal with as much EE as possible.

-Acc Charm: If you got a good first charm (not used for heal and with a minimum of 35% heal mastery++), you need your heal charm placed in this slot.
Note: If you use your heal charm in the Acc Slot, you won’t get any bonuses from it, besides the EE!
