Status Effect

Body Guard

The next time an ally is targeted, swap places with them first.

Body Guard causes a unit to intercept attacks aimed at adjacent allies. When an enemy attacks a unit standing next to a Body Guard, the Body Guard takes the hit instead, shielding squishier teammates from direct damage.

Body Guard is a tank's dream buff, allowing a durable cat to actively protect vulnerable damage dealers or healers. Position the Body Guard cat adjacent to your highest-priority targets. Combine with Shield, Brace, or Metal to ensure the Body Guard can absorb redirected hits without going down. Be aware that area-of-effect attacks still hit the original target alongside the Body Guard, so this effect is best against single-target threats.
