I'm trying to help our guild perform a little better during guild wars and I had a question regarding guardians. Our current guild leader goes crazy buying up 20+ level 1 guardians and possibly increasing a few to level 3 just prior to the GW start. I have read that guardians need to be around level 6-7 to really be effective, otherwise they are just giving extra points to the opposing guild. My question is...If a guardian is not defeated during a battle, do they stay in the rotation for the next battle or does it use the next guardian in the list? If they stay then it would be worth beefing up a few guardians as opposed to buying countless level 1 guardians.
