Combat

The soldiers stay behind their greatshields and shield bash to stagger foes. They drop their guard to roar and draw attention, or to throw ghostflame pots. Those pots deal Magic damage and build up Frostbite. Their shields block physical damage very well. Attacks from above or below bypass the shields and hit their modest health directly.

"Spirits of greatshield soldiers who belonged to the Fallen Hawks, a band of soldiers that once explored the Eternal City. Stout defenders with a steady guard. Though their methods are somewhat crude, they work well as a squadron, and will attract the attention of enemies or lob ghostflame from the rearguard."
