Dendroid Guard
An ancient sentinel carved from the heartwood of the oldest trees, the Dendroid High Guard stands as the forest’s unyielding protector. Every strike it makes ripples through the earth like thunder, shaking intruders to their knees. Its roots crawl from the soil, clutching the reckless and dragging them toward their doom. When it sows the seeds of destruction, the very ground blossoms with ruin - and even nature itself turns against those who disturb its slumber. Few can tell whether it fights by will… or by the wrath of the forest that still breathes within it.

Tactics
- Interrupt the Guard’s Ground Slam whenever possible to reduce burst damage and ease healing.
- After a Slam, move out of the telegraphed area to avoid the incoming Flora Spore Seed.
- Spread out as a group to minimize how many players the seed can hit.
- Deal with the Dendroid Twig add quickly after it spawns to prevent stacking damage.
- Tanks can face the Guard during Slam but should either interrupt or step away at the start of the animation to help the healer.
