Guardian Summary
The Guardian is a Lvl. 25 Machina with 10000 HP and deals Physical and Magic Damage with Light and Fire affinity. Its fairly average HP is compensated by its strong attacks and can easily wipe out a team that is underlevelled and underprepared.
This boss can be encountered when Mobliz Shipyard's self-destruct sequence occurs and must be defeated within the 15-minute escape time limit.

How to Beat Guardian
[1] Equip Physical Counter and Magic Counter with Multi-Cover.
The Guardian will have a lot of turns to use and will constantly switch its attacks between laser, Missile, and Machine Gun. These attacks are weak, so you should have no problem taking them. However, the time limit requires you to deal as much damage as you can very quickly, so using counters is a great way of weaving in damage despite the turn being the opponent's.
Using Multi-Cover or Cover allows you to guarantee or increase your chances of activating the counter attacks.
[2] Use Lightning Attacks.
The time limit is your biggest problem with this boss fight. If you get to the Guardian quick enough, you may have around 12 to 13 minutes to defeat it.
Use Lightning attacks to deal extra damage, and potentially stagger it for even more damage.
[3] Use Shellga or Arcane Guard when it is about to use Wave Cannon.
The Wave Cannon is a powerful attack, and the best way to protect your team is using Shellga with Arcane Guard. Of course, you may not have enough time to cast both, but even Shellga should be enough to mitigate some damage.
Combine these two with Multi-Cover or Cover and you can save your weakest members and healers.
