Arcadia Quest
Can the monster's controller skip a Guard Reaction?
The designer confirmed that Guard Reactions are automatic, and the rulebook says so too.

No. A Guard Reaction always happens: the monster attacks without moving, and the controlling player has no choice. Only the Payback Reaction is optional. The word "may" in some card text covers moves that do not trigger a reaction at all.
