Full Guard

The Full Guard is an item that first appears in Fire Emblem: Path Of Radiance. It is held in the 'items' section of a character's invantory in Path Of Radiance. The Full Guard can be equiped to any character at any point so they can benifet from it's effects.

The Full Guard negates any bonus damage an enemy unit can do to a character. This means for instance if a Pegasus Knight had the Full Guard equiped and they were shot by an arrow it would do a normal amount of damage. This applies to all weapon bonuses such as, Luguz weapons, anti-calivery weapons, spells that deal bonus damage to certain unit, the list goes on.

This fact makes the item incredibly useful. Most people give it to a flying unit they like to use in combat as it increses their effectiveness as Arrows, and efffective magic spells deal a lot less damage. The item also is useful in Path Of Radiance when given to Laguz units as in the game there is a substatial amount of Luguz killing weapons. The applications of the item are endless as each individual character can benifet from the item, although some more then others.

The Full Guard is grouped together with other guarding items that exsist in Path Of Radiance. Such as the BeorcGuard, LaguzGuard, and other items that reduce damage or prevent other effects that act on a unit in battle. The Full Gaurd is considered one of the most useful of this group as it's effects can apply quite often as aposed to when a few rare instances happen to take place.

Only one Full Guard item exsists in the game. This means a player has to be desisive with whom he equips the Full Gurad to. In many cases the Full Guard can mean the difference between a unit dying or brushing off a few attacks that would normally be devastating, this is what makes it so incredibly useful.
