How do you equip Guardian Angel?
To equip Guardian Angel, you must use its Equip ability.
According to Rule 818.1, Equip is an activated ability found on Gear. To equip the card, you must:
- Pay the Cost: Pay the cost listed next to the Equip keyword on the card.
- Choose a Target: Choose a unit you control to be the target.
- Attach: The Guardian Angel gear becomes attached to that unit.
Once attached, the unit is considered "Equipped" (Rule 818.2). As specified in the Patch Notes (2025-05-12), because the card is now attached, its printed rules text becomes inactive (Rule 135.4), but the replacement effect it provides remains active because it is an equipment-based ability.
Important Note: You cannot activate the Equip ability if the Guardian Angel is already attached to a unit. If a unit equipped with Guardian Angel is killed, the gear stays attached to the unit (as the unit is recalled to the base rather than sent to the trash), and you can continue to use it in future turns.
