Bodyguard is a Unit Trait in Symphony of War that increases damage dealt and decreases damage taken by 20% if the unit is Covering the Squad Leader.
Bodyguard is extremely useful on tank units at the front of a squad to reduce the damage taken. It is also commonly used on dragons to provide a boost to their damage and defense.
The unit must be in front of the squad's leader. Partial cover counts, meaning you could have 4 units with Bodyguard active if the leader is in the back row, and the 4 units are in front of the leader offset by 1/2 a tile on each side.
Bodyguard is also usable with Wide Guard to allow units that aren't directly in front of the squad leader to also benefit from the Bodyguard bonuses.
