===Active enemies===
Here are the enemies a player can engage in combat with to raise their Guard level. Upon defeating an enemy, players will accrue a percentage based increase toward their [[Knowledge|Knowledge Points]], as well as a chance to receive [[armor]] and [[weapons]] that correspond with their current Guard level.

===Passive enemies===
Here are the enemies a player can unlock via Knowledge Points as a means to engage in combat with [[Passive activities|passively]] to raise their Guard level. A player character will continue to fight against these enemies even after being logged out, and potentially gain materials to use with other professions, however they do not award any progress towards gaining additional Knowledge Points.  

As with all passive enemies, those in Hopeport have no elemental vulnerabilities. Additionally, all Hopeport passive enemies attack with {{AttackStyle|Impact}} and have no elemental immunity.

** Added to Game
}}

==Trivia==
* The first player to reach level 500 Guard and appear on the [[leaderboards]] was Sassyy, on [[26 November]] [[2024]].<!-- reported to me on discord at 11:28 EST. Possible that Sassyy achieved level 500 earlier. --> This was the first level 500 in any profession, but only by an hour and a half.<!-- Twitch VOD https://twitch.tv/videos/2311537087 at 47:43 shows Bidoof#1 at level 498 Watchperson when Sassyy achieved 500 Guard. At 2:23:30, Bidoof#1 turns in their knowledge point for 500 Watchperson. -->
