Summon Guardian Golem
Summon Guardian Golem is a level 3 Hexes/Summoning spell which summons a guardian golem.
Contents
Effect
Summons a single guardian golem; it cannot attack, but it will immediately share damage done to other allies (but not the caster). If the golem is heavily damaged, it may gain the Inner Flame status. Higher spell power increases the golem's durability.
The golem's hit dice is 4 + <power> / 16 (randomly rounded).[1]
Duration of the summon is around 27 turns. It is not affected by spell power.
Strategy
- A guardian golem can significantly extend the combat duration of your other summons. Just be sure to keep a safe distance in case it explodes.
- Even if you have no other way to gain allies, a guardian golem still has enough durability to stand in a corridor and take hits while you retreat. It is also completely immune to Hexes and has resistance to several elements.
- Despite having no way to attack on its own, the fact that a guardian golem can gain Inner Flame when damaged lets you use it offensively; summon one in a corridor or other convenient checkpoint, take a step or two back, and let the fireworks ensue.
- Gods that forbid harming your allies will not mind a Guardian Golem incidentally blowing up.
