G guardian

“	Liberating the Generation Zone! Generation Guard!	”
—Chant for when declaring a G guardian

"G Guardian" (Gガーディアン Jī-Gādian) is a keyword exclusive to G units, and introduced in Fighters Collection 2016. Due to these new G units, the limit size of the G zone was increased from 8 to 16 cards upon the release of Fighters Collection 2016. The ability is indicated by a green shield icon with "G-Guardian" written next to it: .

Characteristics

G units with the "G guardian" ability have the following special characteristics:

They have a green-colored card frame with gold lines.
They have an original shield of 15000 and a more elaborate shield box, reflecting their defensive nature.
They are grade 4 units. However, they do not have any Skill icons like "Triple Drive".
They do not have any printed power nor critical. Instead, they have a large "G-GUARDIAN" label where those stats would normally be printed.

How It Works

For more information about the Guard Step, see here.

"G guardian" is described as a continuous ability which, once it is active, allows you to call a face down G unit from your G zone on your guardian circle during an opponent's attack. It is done in the following form:

During the guard step of your opponent's turn, if both you and your opponent have a grade 3 or greater vanguard and there are three or fewer face up G guardians in your G zone, you may choose a card with "HEAL" (a heal trigger unit) from your hand, and discard it.
After paying the cost, choose the G guardian you want to call from face down from your G zone. The G zone is located in front of the damage zone, on the left of the field. It can hold up to 16 face down cards during deck construction, with a maximum of 4 cards with the same printed card name, just like the main deck.
Call the chosen G guardian face up on your guardian circle in [Rest] state, and at this point, choose one of your units that is being attacked, and the G guardian will guard that unit.
After the moment referred above, all the "when placed on" abilities are activated at the same time, and the player chooses which of them will resolve first (by paying any cost required).

Details

You must complete the call of a G guardian (and any effects resulting from the call) before calling or intercepting with any new guardians.
While you have four or more face up G guardians in your G zone, you cannot call any more G guardians.
You may call any number of G guardians during a battle. This is in addition to calling or intercepting with as many guardians as you want.
When a G guardian would leave the (GC) due to any method, it must be put face up into your G zone instead.
G guardians on (GC) do not count towards Generation Break. If you call a G guardian while there are no face up cards in your G zone, your Generation Break abilities do not become active until your G guardian returns to the G zone.
Calling a G guardian does not count as a normal call since it is an ability; therefore, they can be used even when the opponent uses an effect that restricts which cards you can normally guard with from the hand.

Background

A New "Stride" System (April 4, 2016)

After analysing and improving the mechanisms of "Stride" occurred in many places of "Stride", a new magic system has been developed such that one can utilize that power momentarily as long as he or she possesses a certain level of mana and aptitude to use the system. The system, which can also be called "simplified Stride", is locked so that it cannot be used when the caster possesses the intention to attack, so as to prevent usage in malicious invasions and crimes. The summoner and the summoned beings need to mentally synchronize, with "the will to overcome dangers and challenges". Because the intention to persevere and survive is the key of synchronization, the synchronization ends at the moment of wielding the intention to attack. By the way, the system is now spread to all nations by the messengers of "Gear Chronicle".
