FAQs

(from the official FAQ or responses to the official rules question form)
  • Q: Can Sister Mary choose to assign damage to Guardian Angel, put tokens in the bag, and then cancel or ignore that damage with a card like "I've had worse…" or Deny Existence, not actually placing any damage tokens on Guardian Angel? A: Yes, Guardian Angel can be “assigned” the damage, causing tokens put into the bag, and then the damage can be cancelled or ignored before it’s actually “dealt” to Guardian Angel.

There was a lot of confusion when they previewed an investigator in the guardian class with a 5/9 split. That’s worse than Carolyn, who was explicitly a healer and a big money support. But Guardian Angel is better than I imagined. It lets you protect multiple people on your team, from a distance, while you’re doing other things. Or maybe you just want to soak a hit or two.

The big brain move is having someone else take Solemn Vow. They protect you, the Angel protects them, and you can feed the bag. Pay them back by using rite of sanctification to give them a discount on their buys. Perfect!

Bigger brain move is having someone else using Forbidden Tome to move damage from Guardian Angel onto enemies. — Death by Chocolate · 1440
Moving damage with solemn vow has the advantage that it can be healed actionless if you have Jessica. Or any armor and Lonnie repairs it. — Django · 5070
Because this card cares about “assigned damage” specifically, can you assign an enemy’s attack to it, add the bless tokens, then play Deny Existence? The rules specifically state you 1. Assign damage/horror 2. Deal damage/horror, and that effects that reduce this damage/horror happen between steps 1 and 2. — MaximilienQC · 1
That's an interesting point and I guess you are right. "To assign" means to declare cards (assets/your investigator card) which will have damage tokens on it. Rules specifically state that assigned damage is placed near the card/asset. Then you have a chance to prevent it. So you assign damage, use reaction trigger than ignore/cancel that damage before it is dealt. — chrome · 56
Also a good target to bring back via Uncage the Soul (3). — AlderSign · 236
