What's Great About G guardian?
Point 1: A powerful card with 15000 Shield that can be used when conditions are met!
- G guardians called to guardian circle work in the same away as normal guardian. The power of the unit being attacked increases by the Shield of the G guardians. Compared to a normal guardian card, a G guardian has a larger Shield value, and also has additional abilities. It is a super strong guardian.
Point 2: G guardian helps fulfill the conditions for activating Generation Break (GB)!
- At the end of the battle, the G guardian is put into G zone face up. Face up G guardians in the G zone also count towards fulfilling the conditions for the GB, so it will now be easier to activate GB!
