Guardians are Town Hall 18 defenders that fight back like heroes. Each upgrade is long and expensive, so they take a large slice of your builder time.

SmasherSmasher

This tanky Guardian deals splash damage to ground and air troops. Smasher is a seriously sore loser, raging when the Town Hall is destroyed and leaving rage in his wake when defeated.

LoggerLogger

A hardened meteorite hunk with a fascination for forestry. When Logger isn’t petting his mustache woodpeckers, he’s lobbing bouncing logs that push and crush all troop types.\n\nThe timber may be slow, but it strikes with the full force of nature!
