Our Take on Gudong
Gudong is an SSR Otherworld Return Guardian whose kit keeps working after defeat. While alive, Gudong stuns with Cheep-Cheep and spawns slimes with Split; when defeated, Gudong leaves a crippling slime puddle and summons three more slimes.
Strengths
- +Cheep-Cheep deals 320% damage to a single target and stuns it for 5 seconds.
- +Slime Shield's puddle reduces enemy Movement Speed by 80% and Attack by 40% for 5 seconds after Gudong is defeated.
- +Split spawns small slimes every 16 seconds (max 3), and Slime Swarm adds 3 more on death that inherit 20% of Gudong's Attack and HP for 20 seconds.
- +Second Breath restores 20% of Gudong's max HP.
Weaknesses
- −Two of the strongest effects in this kit only trigger on death, which conflicts with the role of a front-line tank.
- −The slimes inherit only 20% of Gudong's stats, so they are distractions rather than real damage.
- −Levels 2 and 3 are worded unclearly; the text does not define a high-cost enemy or what the 25% boost replaces.
How to Play Gudong
Gudong is a front-row Guardian. Use Cheep-Cheep to stun the most dangerous enemy and let Split keep slimes on the field to soak attention. Second Breath buys time, but do not over-protect Gudong: the puddle and death slimes are part of the value, so placing Gudong where enemies converge makes the puddle hit more units. Level 4 gives slimes a 15% chance to apply attack down, the clearest upgrade. Level 7 adds Overdrive cost pressure tied to slime defeats.
Good Teammates
- Beowulf (SSR) – Beowulf gains Deathrattle stacks from allied defeats, and Gudong is designed to die and still contribute.
- White Tiger (SSR) – White Tiger's level 2 gives 1.5% Attack per [Deathrattle] from allied defeats, which Gudong's death supplies.
- Mordred (SSR) – Mordred's Soul Sacrifice Annihilation gains 25% per sacrificed summon; the text does not say whether allied slimes count, so test this before relying on it.

Should You Invest?
Gudong is SSR and rated T3 here. Gudong is a niche tank for Deathrattle or summoner teams, and many players may get more from a Guardian who stays alive.
