Bone Defender

Bone Defenders are enemies commonly encountered within the Ruins. Their large shield leaves them well-armored and capable of taking a beating, and they can use this resilience to protect the other undead soldiers guarding the area.

Behavior
The Defender is an Unholy enemy that always appears at the front and aims to frustrate your heroes with his hefty PROT and stun/move ability Dead Weight, whilst chipping away at their health with his axe. If pushed to the back he will move forwards with his near useless Clumsy Axeblade attack. Generally speaking, despite the potential annoyance of Dead Weight, unless you have a Blight attack spare, you should leave him alone at the start of battle and concentrate on the more vulnerable troops he is protecting.

As of the Radiant Update, the Veteran and Champion Defenders have a new skill: Foul Warding. It is a guard skill much like the Pelagic Guardian's Barnacle Barrier, guarding allies and conferring a PROT bonus to the Defender. Should the Defender use this skill, a simple Stun will cause it to drop its guard. The PROT bonus may persist, but its ally will become vulnerable.
