A Perfect Guard for Royal Paladin
"Perfect Guards" (also known as "Perfect Defense" in the anime) are units with a special guard skill. They were first introduced in Booster Set 1: Descent of the King of Knights.
When a Perfect Guard unit is placed on (GC), by discarding one unit from its own clan, the player choose one of their units of the same clan that is being attacked, and that unit cannot be hit until the end of the battle, no matter how much power the attack has. Starting from Booster Set 16: Legion of Dragons & Blades, you no longer are required to discard one card of same clan to perform the guarding.
You may only include up to four Perfect Guard units in a deck due to their "Sentinel" ability. As Quintet Wall units also have "Sentinel", you can only use both types of unit in a deck if the total number is four or less (for example, you may use 2 Perfect Guards and 2 Quintet Walls, or 3 Perfect Guards and 1 Quintet Wall).

Trivia
- Etranger is the only clan so far without a Perfect Guard.
- In Booster Set 10: Triumphant Return of the King of Knights, Gold Paladin, Narukami and Royal Paladin became the first clans to have two Perfect Guard units.
- As of Booster Set 10, many Clans have Perfect Guards for their sub-clans, e.g. Dark Revenger, Mac Lir, Eradicator Wyvern Guard, Guld, Flashing Jewel Knight, Iseult, etc.
- This discludes Battle Sister, Chocolat, but she was made before Battle Sisters were a official Sub-Clan.
