Guardian is one of the classes currently playable in Roboquest.

Primary Ability

Guardian's primary ability is Bastion. When deployed, generates a temporary impervious shield around the player, blocking all incoming damage. The initial, unmodified duration of the bubble is a maximum of 3 seconds; however, the player may choose to disable the shield earlier to preserve charge by pressing the key they used to activate it (default Q) again.

While not in use, Bastion passively regenerates at a rate of 6.25%/s. It takes the shield 16 seconds to charge to 100% from 0%.

Secondary Ability

Guardian's secondary ability is Bash. Bash performs a close-range melee sweep in an arc in front of the player, which when unmodified deals 55 damage and applies high impact. If Bash kills a basic enemy, an additional healing-cells is dropped. The same affect occurs when using Bash against bosses, however 3 healing-cells are dropped instead of 1. Bash has no cooldown.

Passive Ability

Guardian's passive ability is Veteran. This passive increases weapon impact by 10% , magazine size (for magazine weapons) by 25%, and energy bar (for energy weapons) by 15%.

When Veteran is active, it is displayed as a star in a circle to the left of the ammo counter.

Class-Locked Perks

Each class has their own set of Perks specific to them, as well as their own unique set of Class Upgrades.

The player can choose a Perk (Which is Class-Locked) at Levels 2, 4, 7 and 10 for a total of four Perks. Each class has 16 Perks in total.

All Perks unlock two Upgrades which can be obtained along with Common Upgrades and Class Upgrades at Levels 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. Extra upgrades can be obtained from the secret book item and by interacting with the defeated guardian npc in Doom Gardens or Ruins. An extra upgrade is given at the start of your run if the Starter Boost is unlocked in the workshop.

As shown below, Bonk Hammer is a Perk. Flex Handle and Wrecking Ball are Upgrades, which need to be unlocked by themselves after Bonk Hammer is obtained.

Notes

The wave from the Tactical Slap perk counts as a hit with Bash for the purpose of triggering Line Breaker.

Player abilities damage scaling per level is 25%.

Perk/Upgrade values are up to date as of the Cells Update, August 2024.

To calculate the amount of damage skills on this page do on what level, you can use this formula:

a * (-0.25 + 0.b * 2.5 + 1) =

a is where you insert a Level 1 damage value on this page.

b is where you insert the level. Turn the 0 to the left of b into a 1 if it's level 10 or higher.

The result is a rough estimate (due to the game rounding hidden decimals) of the damage the skill will do at the specified level.
