Guardian is a new Korean Medic, her drone destroys incoming projectiles but cant protect from bullets
Her second ability is a revival pulse, basically its a long range aoe defibrillators.
An interesting change as she seems to have assault rifles considering she has the Hurtsall and no healing abilities.
This begs the question, does she put Sparks put of business?

No, no self heal means no self sustain, arguably one of the things which make sparks as strong as is (apart from the ranged revives obviously).
@FishRolls
I see your point, she can’t heal but she’s a hard counter to Nader, Fragger, Javelin, Arty, Stoker maybe, Proxy and Fletcher.
@nokiII true, especially if someone knows how to toss it up and direct hit themselves.
I guess Guardian serves as both extreme cases, stopping something that kills/injures many teammates and rreviving many Teammates Asap.
I like her, but I just hope that drone ability is done right. The cooldowns/shots to kill need to be done correctly. We also need the Emp grenade to go back on Thunder so we can take the thing out through walls… Would be nice.
Overall, she looks good at the moment, I just hope she doesn’t get ruined like Javelin did. My main gripe is with Javelin’s broken Axe, my favorite melee weapon is useless now :’(
I feel ike SD is reading my mind, so far I’ve been seeing nothing but Mercs I actually want to play.

Okay, cool. Already got another thread up for this. She doesn’t have defibs, right?
she has ranged defib
her design is so cool
arty and kira BTFO
but wait…
kira laser is not projectile right?
From the video, the drone seems to have like 100-150hp maybe ?
The revive ability seems more medium range than long range. Sparks will still be the sniper medic we love. But Guardian + Sparks combo will be stupid.
On the other hand, Guardian + Aura combo … omg 
Or Guardian + Aura + Turtle xD “Thou shall not pass !”
And yeah, no heal ability will be awkward to play ^^
Splash Damage does really want to make Turtle+Aura combo more op, gl ever pushing into places such as Underground 2nd stage gen room now…
And what is this revive ability, 1 step less than a normal medic and probably a stupidly long cd on it? Looks like a merc that’s just 100% designed to make the game even more broken.
Her group revive diameter seems to be rather small… I can imagine Skybro taking out a few opposition in along a line…
But I like it

She doesn’t have a healing ability, she has an anti projectile ability and a mass defib.
Yeah, she seems really balanced right out of the gate but I guess we’ll see. If she had defibs on top of that aoe heal then I think she’d be pretty overpowered as a medic. Balancing her seems like it’ll take nothing more than getting the cooldowns right and the hp on the drone. Sweet. Excited for her.

Did you even watch the video, it’s an aoe revive not a heal, she’s already stupidly op for anyone with a brain that realises she can be used with an aura/turtle combo…
Except that you can still shoot through her little barrier, and the fact she has no healing or self sustain means she is really only good as a backup or secondary Medic.
Plus, it just said air strikes and projectiles, does that include frags? Cause if not Fragger is still a counter, plus she can be sniped pretty easily.

Now DB has it’s own version of TF2 short circuit.
I did not see that coming!
Lol no, nowhere near as that bad
Trust me, the Short Circuit was stupidly broken, even before that super buffed the hell out of it. Because the Engineer was basically cancer to the game, once an Engineer got set up you had to throw a ton of resources at it just to take it down. Which is why I played Spy, and why I get so passionate when they wanted to nerf things I felt the Spy needed or never needed to be nerfed, aka Ambassador. Dead Ringer was cancer though, would much rather have just had a non ammo regen watch that also protected me from damage.
