With the new prevalence of golden blade and assassins who can utilize it coming back into the solo meta, people have been looking for different ways to counter them. I found that in the early game jade emperors crown can very help full at stopping their clear. At level 7 jade emperors crown decreases an assassin with golden blades auto attack damage by 29.3%. This also gives guardians another tool to be viable in the solo lane, with warriors having items such as void shield, berserkers shield and gladiators shield this is something the guardians have over them and can help offensive solo lane guardians keep lane control.
This is a basic build I but this under Cerberus cause he makes good use of these items, but this works on other guardians too like artio for example. Many of these items can be switched around depending on what you want to do. For example your can switch out mid-guardian for hide of the Nemian lion if u want, also if u want cool down boots instead of pen boots that's fine just remember don't over cap in the end game because magical power pot gives u an extra 10% cooldown. However jade emperors crown is core because that's the whole point of the guide. Finally, this build does have a draw back of no early game mp5 so u may find your self running out of mana if you are having your blue buff stolen.
