Originally published at: [A New Mythic Approaches – Gard’s Avatar – Gems of War](http://gemsofwar.com/a-new-mythic-approaches-gards-avatar/) He shall smite the unworthy… **New Mythic Troop: Gard's Avatar** [ ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/d/d16ad25bf79f4629fa4e1a6ab2ed84466a1f2655.png) ](http://gemsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/blog_gardavatar2.png) The Patron Deity of Whitehelm is known as Gard, Lord of Righteousness, and Master of Justice. In times of trouble, he will send his servants, such as Mercy, to help the people of Krystara. When things are REALLY grim though, he will manifest himself upon the world as a mighty flaming Avatar. Gard’s Avatar will be the only Mythic Troop available from Glory, Gem, Guild & VIP chests for the next 7 days. Please note this Troop is currently only available to Steam, iOS and Android versions of the game.

Oops - Text error! It’s doing the correct effect, but somehow the text didn’t get updated. It should be “Burn All Undead, Silence All Daemons” ---

So the never dying Bombot? I can get behind that. I still feel like the boost ratio is going to be insanely broken. That is 1-2 shot team wipe later in the game, especially since it works with Alchemist + Hellcat for “infinite” armor. ---

This makes sense as quite a few daemons have fireproof. Even after the 2,000 glory keys, 546 gem keys and 5,800gems spent and no Gard… 😭 ---

There should be a chance. But you can also get other Mythics from tasks, so it’s a really small one. ---

You just need to make a looping team with gard on it. No additional damage is required. Would your deck idea work? It would, but there are many variations that would. ---

At first i thought of the fork of futility, then i realized it is like the big 100k. I need this mythic for reasons i can not quantify…mostly whitehelm reasons. Big 100k is from aqworld. ---
