Learn how GUARD affects item defense and healing in Phantom Blade Zero. Understand item HP and regaining lost gear.
The probability to defend and absorb an enemy's attack with an equipped item is determined by GUARD. The damage is dispersed between your character and the item you have equipped. The damage the item receives depends on its attributes, exactly like damage dealt to a character.
Characters with high GUARD stats will take less damage, however, the deflected damage still harms the equipped item. When the item's HP drops to 0, it disappears from the battle screen. The item can only be regained at Phantom Isle.
GUARD also influences healing. If GUARD is too high, the healing spells will affect the item, and not your character.
Guard has no control over object PROTECTION (ie defense x2, healing 30%, etc) or abnormal status effects.
- Monitor your item's HP to avoid it disappearing from battle.
- Regain lost items at Phantom Isle.
- Be mindful of your GUARD stat when using healing spells to ensure they affect your character.
