One guardian left out

There is no extra ground effect; the battle stops after 8 rounds, and if neither crew is wiped out, the count compares living creatures, then total remaining HP share, then total HP. For this puzzle, Mallow and Pip cannot both come. Their Pip and Luna stand in front; Cinder, Frost, Comet stand behind them.
