Oven Knight

Guardians are an enemy added in the v1.9 update, the Bestiary Update. They will only begin to appear in biomes on 2 BSC and above. They can appear in a handful of areas, and can pose a significant threat to inexperienced players.

Behavior
The Guardian wields a wooden shield that absorbs one attack (regardless of damage) before shattering. Their behavior changes depending on whether or not their shield is still in tact.

With Shield

 * The shield protects the Guardian from one of the Beheaded's attacks before shattering.
 * It’s normal attack pattern consists of charging at the player with the shield, and then swinging its axe.

Without Shield

 * It moves faster when its shield is destroyed.
 * The Guardian gains a two-swing axe combo that can change directions during the second swing.
