You're right, they're built for defense. They're best used against a sparky, worst against a valkryie. They are best used for buying some time by stopping pushes, since they are 3 elixir, by which point you could prepare a beetter defense or a strong counter push. However I consider them moder useful than a skarmy, since a skarmy would easily be arrowed. If a valkyrie is distracted, gaurds can actually poke at her without taking damage. If you're really intersted in Gaurd tactics, watch Orange Juices video on them.
