Vortex Guard
The Vortex Guard is a technique used by Rayman in Rayman in the Phantom Show, the third DLC of Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. It automatically replaces the standard Plunger Guard when wearing the Vortex costume, and allows him to spawn two plum-shaped weapons which open in the middle, revealing a gun inside.
Gameplay
Rayman can either leave the Vortex Guards where they are, or grab them and throw them in a different spot. Other heroes can move them too.
When an enemy moves within its range, the Vortex Guard fires a projectile at them which makes them bounce away, inflicting additional damage from the bounces. Vortex Guards initially contain two charges, but unlike the regular Plunger Guards, which empty of all their charges at once, they only fire one projectile at a time. Vortex Guards disappear from the battlefield after running out of charges, or if newer Guards are summoned, as there can only be a maximum of five active ones.
An upgrade is available for the Vortex Guard in Rayman's skill tree, allowing it to bounce enemies in the direction of other Guards.
