Counter Mechanic

Triggers Gavel Bash on successful hit

Guard is the powerful Special Ability of the Sword of Justice in 33 Immortals. When activated, it provides complete immunity to incoming damage by consuming Justice over time. If the player is struck while guarding, the ability retaliates with a devastating counterattack called Gavel Bash. This makes Guard an essential defensive tool and a cornerstone of tank-based gameplay.

Overview

Guard transforms the wielder into an unbreakable frontline anchor, allowing them to absorb massive attacks without flinching. This ability shines in both solo and co-op settings where enemy pressure is high, or when baiting elite attacks for teammates to counter.

How It Works

• Hold the Special Ability button to activate Guard
• Consumes 20 Justice per second while active
• Grants full immunity to all incoming damage during channel
• If hit while guarding, automatically triggers Gavel Bash — a heavy AoE counter that deals massive damage and Stagger Buildup
• The more Justice stored, the stronger the Gavel Bash
• Enters a short cooldown after use

Gavel Bash Details

• Counterattack that activates only when struck while Guard is active
• Deals high damage in a wide area
• Scales with the amount of stored Justice
• Applies heavy Stagger and often interrupts Elite Monsters
• Can be enhanced by Mastery traits and Relics

Strategic Uses

• Activate before heavy AoE or boss mechanics to protect allies
• Intentionally bait elite attacks to trigger Gavel Bash
• Use to block damage while reviving fallen teammates
• Pair with Relics that restore Justice or reduce Special Ability cost

Synergies

• Works best with builds focusing on high Vitality and Justice regeneration
• Mastery traits like Final Justice and Inner Justice boost Guard efficiency
• Combines well with Co-op Powers like Bubble Shield for fortified frontline control

Visual Indicator

• The player raises their sword in a divine stance with glowing aura
• Guarded state has distinct visual and audio effects
• Gavel Bash emits a shockwave explosion upon triggering

Summary

Guard is the ultimate expression of divine defense in *33 Immortals*. With unwavering resolve and perfectly timed retaliation, Rebel Souls wielding the Sword of Justice become immovable walls in the face of overwhelming odds. Master Guard — and let your enemies break upon you.
