Winged Preserver

From the Lore Book
The Winged Preserver is the paragon of the Durani aesthetic, the indomitable symbol of the enduring strength of the Durani Empire, often referred to as the "Emperor's Sons." The conquered people of the Durani Periphery can do little more than watch from the shadows as this strong and agile construct enforces the Emperor's will.

Overview
A Titan Golem from the Arcanum Durani. The Winged Preserver is a well-armored titan with flexible movement options, capable of both walking and airborne movement. It has a routine melee attack that does slightly above average damage for a titan for a relatively low cost. This melee attack, though, is only intended to finish off golems that get past the Winged Preserver's ranged assault. It has two ranged attacks: one far and one moderate range. The long range attack is a bolt of lightning that homes in on its victim despite whatever defensive maneuvers the victim employs. Without magically boosted maneuverability, of the known golems, only the Zikia Bramblehorn and the Gudanna Sand Lion have a chance to dodge this attack. The medium range attack hits hard and decreases the movement of the victim - effectively keeping them at range while the Winged Preserver or its allies shift away to a safer position.

The Winged Preserver is one of six golems included in the Base Game Set.

Knights:

 * Nari "Scargiver" Azva (20) - allows you to use your multiple ranged attacks more often.
 * Suvitra "Hard Child" (15) - makes the Preserver incredibly mobile. As one of the few flyers to not be naturally nimble, the Preserver also gets more out of this ability than most.

Ancient Ones:

 * The Prince (70) - great bonuses to ranged attacks.
 * The Marksman (45) - very good bonuses to ranged attacks.
 * The Trapper (25) - cheap, and can be used to slow the enemy advance.
