One account signs one pact. The Guardian grows to level 275, then Rebirths through five ranks and unlocks a finished skill set.

The pact
A Guardian is an account contract, not a rental mercenary. Speak to Guardian Contract in Main Town. If the account has no pact, open Call Guardian. The NPC reads the donation total, shows the portraits you qualify for, and waits for a single confirm. The bound appearance does not change after that.
Standard pact
Open to every account. Pay the Proof of Donate amount shown on the NPC and bind Moonfrost Warrior.
$500 pact
Donation total $500 or more. Bind Xiao Yi Xian or Xiao Xiao. Their foundation stands above the standard pact.
$700 pact
Donation total $700 or more. Bind Guardian Wang Lin or Guardian Xiao Yan. Their foundation stands above the $500 pact.

Call and Resurrect
Call brings the bound Guardian to your side. If the Guardian has fallen, Call stays locked until you resurrect. Resurrection cost rises with Rebirth. The NPC lists the material and Zeny before anything is taken.
Already summoned — the Guardian is already at your side.
Fallen — use Resurrect Guardian, then Call again.
Bound to another character — this character cannot call it.
Growth
The Guardian levels beside you. Every rank caps at 275. Attacks and skills return 5% of damage dealt as health. Physical defense takes the larger share of that growth.
Rebirth 0 has no skill bar. Basic attacks cover a 9×9 field. That wide swing ends after the first Rebirth. From Rebirth 1 the Guardian fights with skills and keeps master support on you.
Rebirth
Train the Guardian to level 275. Open Guardian Rebirth on the same NPC. Accept the trial, finish every hunt, return, then confirm. Rebirth starts the Guardian at level 1 on the new rank and unlocks the next skills. Rebirth 5 is a multi-day climb.
Accept the trial first. The NPC will not Rebirth a Guardian whose trial is still open.

From Rebirth 1 a living Guardian keeps support on you. Icons sit on the right-hand status row. When a buff expires, the Guardian applies it again.
