Discussion What Guardians DON’T you want in Ascendance
I think everyone has discussed what returning monsters should be made into Guardians, my personal favourites being Stygian Zinogre, Tidal Najarala and Kirin. But what I think is rarely asked is what monsters SHOULDN’T be added as Guardians
This idea arose when I looked at G.Doshaguma and realised how bad of a Guardian it is, as a monster; it’s great but specifically as a Guardian, it isn’t good
The reason? NO ELEMENTAL ABILITIES! Thus rendering its Wylk formations little more than free damage opportunities for the hunter. This is why one large category of monsters should be excluded from a list of potential Guardians; Non-Elemental monsters, with the exception of one early MR Guardian
So the likes of Monoblos, Tigrex and Magnamalo would be less than ideal as Guardians as while Magnamalo has Hellfire; statuses don’t typically trigger Wylk explosions and thus they’d have no means of setting off Wylk formations and so I don’t believe they’d make for good Guardians
But what do you guys think? What Monster/s do you think would make for bad Guardians?
