Useful Info

Ironbound preservers are durable enemy support fighters that take damage in place of their allies. This makes it more difficult to kill dangerous-yet-flimsy opponents first. Coupled with their ability to heal themselves, their presence can significantly lengthen battles with groups of foes. They can be found in the Vaults, usually accompanying bands of deep trolls, deep elves, orcs, or ogres, and often supporting a vault warden.

Spells

Spell set I
Slot1 Injury Bond Wizard flag
Slot2 Minor Healing (2d7+3) Wizard flag

  • Ironheart preservers were added to the game in 0.12.
