Personally, I didn't guard at all during the reflect phases. It was rather a super risky play on my part considering I didn't have any access to HC drop rate buffs at all, but I managed. I BB/SBB'd everyone and then waited for reflect to take effect before BB/SBB'ing Ark to heal. Having HC drop rate buffs help a ton to bypass this.
