Guards are actually able to slightly outrange some troops because of their spears, similar to the Prince.The first Guard can negate three simultaneous hits and then the Ice Spirit will freeze them for 1 second which is enough time for the 2 remaining Guards and Crown Tower to finish off the Musketeers. When the Three Musketeers are coming to a Crown Tower without support, once the player's Crown Tower targets the Three Musketeers they can do a quick drop of Guards then Ice Spirit.For similar reasons, they are also effective at countering the Miner, capable of tanking multiple hits from him. Guards are great for defending against the Graveyard, since they are more durable than regular Skeletons and have a longer range.Guards' shields can survive a Zap up to 2 levels higher.The trade-off is that the Guards have all-around lower statistics except for speed. The Guards are a good alternative to Barbarians if the player needs to keep their deck cheap as they cost 2 less Elixir.Knowing this, you can combine either of them with The Log or a Barbarian Barrel to counter Guards for a neutral Elixir trade, however that requires precise timing. The Fire Spirit, Ice Spirit, Heal Spirit, and Electro Spirit do not deal enough damage to take out the Guards' shields but they do deal enough damage to finish off the Guards themselves.Guards cannot target air units, so cheap air troops like Bats can quickly defeat them.Should Guards be used against a push, Arrows can be used to completely take them out, due to the 3 volleys of arrows being capable of taking their shield out and finishing them off simultaneously.

For better results, surround her by spawning them directly on her so only one Guard gets hit with the blast. With their shield, they can withstand a blow from the Sparky and destroy her before she shoots a second time.

The Guards can be used effectively to counter a lone Sparky.

They don't have much damage or pushing power for 3 Elixir, so they should be rarely used on offense - They could even fail to take out tanky troops like the Royal Giant quickly. They can eliminate ground troops like groups of Skeletons and can distract air troops like Minions, making them a good pick against an incoming enemy push for gaining positive elixir trades.

Their defensive potential marks them as a low-risk, high-reward option.

Guards are best used as a defensive card, then used in a counterpush with a Miner.
