A Genshin Impact player has designed a Lego version of a Ruin Guard – a common enemy in the popular mobile game.

Genshin Impact has introduced many opponents since the gacha title’s inception in 2020. One of the first Elite Enemies players meet is a Ruin Guard. Ruin Guards are part of the Humanoid Ruin Machine group and the Automatons family.

Inspired by the Ruin Guard, one Genshin Impact user used their creativity to craft a Lego Ruin Guard. The talented artist even attached the instructions for those interested in completing the project.

Reddit user GhostTuppence posted his crafty creation on the Genshin Impact subreddit. The OP attached multiple images of their Lego Ruin Guard. The pictures also featured a Lego mini-figure of 5-star Anemo user Scaramouche that GhostTuppence previously made.

Following inquiries about the Lego Ruin Guard, the Genshin player included a step-by-step guide on how to craft the enemy. The Ruin Guard – also known as Mr. Cyclops – can spin in circles like the in-game enemies.

In the comment section, Genshin fans praised the Lego set and suggested ways to improve it.

“Pitch your idea to Lego, although I think it would be nicer if it were darker in coloration,” Cosmin-Ruski wrote. “It looks really nice, if you build any more, please do post them here.”

GhostTuppence responded, “Problem is, if I did make it darker, it would be unbelievably fragile since dark brown pieces are known to snap and break easy. A lot of the dark brown on this guy is already breaking.”

“It really makes me wonder how there hasn’t been a Lego Genshin set, I know enthusiasts would love a jade chamber set or even the cathedral,” Fefofa remarked.

In addition to the Ruin Guard, another Genshin user designed a Lego set modeled after the Liyue region. Check out our article for more information about the incredible design.
