I've seen it in a couple videos; just wondering how you actually facilitate it.
How do you prevent Slag Guards from ever spawning?

You cant anymore. After a patch they made Vanaduke able to spawn Slags whenever he wants

Sometimes vanaduke doesn't do
Sometimes vanaduke doesn't do the mace animation to call them. I think shock can sometimes prevent that from happening but I've never tried so I don't know. I recently had a battle where not a single minion spawned and we didn't do anything differently so I guess it's just chance.
Slags are fun, why would anyone want to prevent them? D:

Its hard to pull off
Its hard to pull off consistently, you can stop the first round of spawns by running up to him so he locks on to you and tries to Mace bash you. For whatever reason, he won't follow up with a summon until it triggers on its own later in the round.

why even bother though? get
why even bother though? get two guys with a blitz and one guy with a shiver. you dont even need the shiver actually, one guy gets a single slags attention. the other guy unloads the blitz charge in the slags back. the guard now turns to the other guy. The first guy unloads his blitz charge into the guards back. instant kill

The best way to fight vana,
The best way to fight vana, I've found. Is when you just ignore the slag guards completely, don't EVER stop moving. Keep moving. Shiver works well, if you feel comfortable fighting vana without shiver the voltaic tempest works well too. I use voltaic if I'm with a party that doesn't depend on my shiver. Voltaic also causes his damage, and can interrupt his attacks.
I can't stand it when people are fighting the slag guards it's the most annoying thing to me. Cause they die and give you hearts all on their own ANYWAYS so attacking them is a bit pointless.
Two people with guns constantly running around BEHIND vana causing damage, someone with the shiver and/or voltaic running around BEHIND vana, and then someone needs to be in charge of water but should be causes damage when they can. If you work behind vana he doesn't hit and cause the debris to fall. So always stay behind him as much as you can. The rest from there just takes practice, and being with a good group with good gear.

Ignore them while soloing or
Ignore them while soloing or duoing, use above said method while in a party of at least 3. one guys shiver locks vana to prevent him running around. the rest kill the guards in 1 - 2 hits. much better than having them run around stabbing you in the face every time

Around he same time that OOO
Around he same time that OOO fixed it so that zombies/guards respawned, they also made monsters that respawn have a chance to drop hearts. I think this was done more for the twins than vanaduck, but it is now a slight advantage to kill them, especially if they are in your way anway.
There was a trick before. You needed at least one zombie and you parked it at a corner. After that, the slag guards didn't spawn because there was still a zombie.
This has been fixed now. I don't know of any other trick you could pull to make them not appear.
