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 quote boxes 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.
quote:
In the past guide, which did not regard rare guards at all, the best point to stop buying guards (when buildings at level 10 or under would stop being attacked, with a level 12 guard tower) is at the Level 39 Wind Dragon, according to 137ben. This is a cumulative power of 1701.96, or 8490.19 when including guard tower levels.
In the current guide, which will not include rare guards for this specific calculation, the best point to stop would be at the Level 145 Mighty Shadow Hydra, as this has a cumulative power of 1699.68.
According to afterlifex, 2700 cumulative power with a level 12 guard tower is not enough to prevent attacks on a building over level 12. This will not be too much of a problem for resources, considering that only the trade hut and storage buildings can go over level 10 and be attacked. I once had 2771 cumulative power with a level 13 tower, which was not enough for to prevent attacks for level 12+ buildings.
Additionally, according to afterlifex, 2832.8 guards at a level 9 tower is not enough to protect level 10 buildings.
General consensus is that one level of a guard tower is 200 levels of guards, which is 565.69 power. For every guard tower level you take off, buy enough guards with about that much total power from the top of the list going downwards
quote:
ORIGINAL: Afterlifex
a lvl 10 tower with 2833 worth of guards is enough for lvl 10 buildings.
Following the Below List With Lvl 10 Guard Tower and Lvl 10 Buildings:
Lvl 150 Guardian
- Including Rares:
- Everything up to and including Mighty Shadow Hydra (130) = 3048.7843
- No Rares:
- Everything up to and including Mighty Shadow Hydra (130) = 2976.7915
Lvl 135 Adventurer
- Including Rares:
- Everything up to and including Mutant Dracolich Guard! (72) = 2868.0598
- No Rares:
- Everything up to and including Mighty Shadow Roc (103) = 3005.1342
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. Effectiveness Chart HG0200
2a. Gold Guards [HG0201]
Unfortunately, there is no way to measure the effectiveness/power 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
Effectiveness Formula is: Power/Cost*1000
Here’s a House Guard Spreadsheet to calculate Total Effectiveness, Power, and Cost with any combination of Guards.
