Guardian is one of the 5 classes currently playable in Roboquest.

Primary Ability

Guardian's primary ability is Safety Bubble. Safety Bubble, when deployed, generates a temporary impervious shield around the player, blocking all incoming damage. The initial, unmodified duration of Safety Bubble is a maximum of 3 second; 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, Safety Bubble 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 50 damage and applies high impact. If Bash kills a basic enemy, an additional healing cell 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 Top Quality. Top quality increases weapon damage by 15% while either the player's weapon magazine is above 66% capacity or weapon charge is below 33% charge. This effect can be modified with class upgrades and is also affected by magazine capacity upgrades.

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

Class-Locked Perks

As well as Neutral Perks, each class has their own set of Perks specific to them.

The player can choose a Primary Perk (Which is Class-Locked) at Level 2, 4, 6 and 9 for a total of four Primary Perks. Each class has 15 Primary Perks in total.

All Primary Perks unlock two Secondary Perks which can be obtained along with Neutral Perks and Class Locked Perks at Level 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13, and from defeated player character robots, as displayed by question marks on some maps. In Ruins you can loot a wrecked player robot for a free Secondary or Neutral Perk.

Notes

All of the damage numbers displayed on upgrades on this page are at Level 3, for ease of comparison.

Player abilities damage scaling per level is 25%.

At level 3, Bash deals 75 damage.

The maximum armor and movement speed are capped at 70%

This page is currently up to date to the Winter Update 2023.

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

a / 1.5 * (-0.25 + 0.b * 2.5 + 1) =

a is where you insert a Level 3 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.

Passive effects are additive.

Active effects (activated by certain conditions) are multiplicative.

As such, stacking damage increasing effects can be very powerful.
