User blog:Underredded/Are Guards good?

Guards have been a severely underpowered card until it's buff almost a month ago in December.

The buff
5% damage increase

5% health increase

'''Hitspeed increase to 1.1 from 1.2

Well, has it been better, or have things stayed the same?

My opinion is...
Not a lot to be honest apart from the usage rate. It isn't really a lot more effective, just more reliable, and has the ability to do a better job on supporting troops in a counterpush as their shields can reset Inferno damage. Plus they also are slightly more reliable on defense due to their higher DPS. But that's it. Yet the usage rate has risen even higher than Skarmy (which by the way is one of the most used cards in the game) and they also got a Goison an indirect return, which is amazing enough. Still, I don't think they really became effective, they're just slightly more reliable and more versatile, that's it.

Summary
To be honest, they're still underpowered imo but still they're a lot more better than before. Also they have a lot to improve, especially their DPS which is still mediocre. I'll put them at C tier to be honest.
