	The laser takes 4 seconds to charge, causing no damage in the meantime. It starts out purple and fades to yellow. Once charged, the laser flashes green before disappearing and deals {{hp\|6}} damage plus another {{hp\|2}} magic damage on Normal difficulty. The magic damage is increased by another {{hp\|2}} on Hard difficulty, after adding the usual difficulty scaling factor of 1.5x, meaning a guardian can deal up to {{hp\|5}} magic damage through this attack on Hard difficulty. Guardians swim around for 3 seconds before firing again. If the target approaches while the guardian is loading its laser, it stops firing and swims away until it is at a comfortable range, at which point it continues attacking. The laser has a maximum range of 15 blocks and cannot be dodged~~. However, a [[Minecraft:shield]] reduces its damage by 50%~~.
