Power: 9 | Speed: 10 | Rarity: Legendary | World Region: The Last Earth Bastion
Origins: Terra Guard is the Earth Legendary built on the premise that defence is the most powerful offensive position – and backs it up with Speed 10, the maximum stat, deployed in service of arriving first and building the wall before the fight starts. The Last Earth Bastion has never fallen because Terra Guard doesn't give opponents the opportunity to decide whether to attack it.
Finishing Move: Absolute Defence: Raises a defensive structure from the earth at maximum Speed – 10 – which means it's already in place before the attack arrives. The 9 Power response to anything that gets through is the afterthought.
Synergy & Rivalry: The Speed outlier in the Earth Legendary tier. Air's Cyclone Sage and its Speed 10 peer have an ongoing philosophical argument about whether maximum Speed is better spent on offence or on building defences that can't be breached in the time available.
