This page is about the status effect. For the passive skill, see Guard.
Guard[1] is a status effect that inflicts foes with Special cooldown charge -1 per attack during combat for one turn. In essence, an afflicted unit behaves as if all opponents possess 
Guard Sword+. For skills which apply this status effect, see the category page Sources of Guard.
Skill interaction[ | ]
Main article: Skill interaction
- The "Special cooldown charge -X" effect will stack with the "Special cooldown charge +X" effect.
- For example, if a unit is affected by both
Guard and Special Cooldown Charge +1, the effects will stack and the cooldown will go down without penalty or bonus.
- For example, if a unit is affected by both
- If used alongside another source of "Special cooldown charge -X", only the higher of the two charge reductions will apply.
- This means that if a unit has two "Special cooldown charge -1" effects from two different sources, the battle will play out as if only one "Special cooldown charge -1" effect is active.
- Skills such as Spd/Def Tempo 4 and Whirling Grace will neutralize effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on its user.
