[edit] General

The Base Defender (seen in-game as Kurzick Base Defender or Luxon Base Defender) is a guardian that can be found at the bases of teams in the Alliance Battles. His only function is to make it impossible for the opposing team to enter his team's base. He uses the destructive Base Defense skill, which instantly kills anyone attempting to enter the base by doing 999 damage and knockdown.

[edit] Dialogue

"It is my duty to keep this area clear of enemies so that you can be resurrected safely."

[edit] Notes

• It is impossible to kill a Base Defender, as he is invulnerable.
• Like most monsters though, the Base Defender will not cast Base Defense if you are not in their aggro zone; it is possible as an Assassin using shadow stepping skills, like Death's Charge, or an Elementalist using Ride the Lightning; to get into the base and kill resurrected foes; as long as you avoid the aggro zone. Works well in Kaanai Canyon or The Ancestral Lands because the resurrection shrine is actually not in the aggro zone of the base defender.
• Some people have been led to believe that it is possible to get into the opposing base with a big enough group, crossing the aggro range of the base defender. Base Defense can only target one member at a time but because it has a small AoE effect (most likely nearby), it can kill multiple party members at a time.
• During the Guild Wars Factions beta, it was actually possible to kill the enemy Base Defender.
• The Base Defender can be knocked down using spells such as Balthazar's Pendulum.
• It is possible to get past with enough health and use of Balthazar's Pendulum.
