A towering, muscular figure, capable of safeguarding its allies by selflessly accepting a portion of the injuries inflicted upon them.

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.

	Minor Healing	2d7+3	—	Wizard flag

Tips & Tricks

Injury Bond causes its allies to take half damage, redirecting HP loss to itself; this effectively doubles the HP of anything around it. Try to kill the preserver first. Using area-of-effect on a large group will quickly damage the preserver.

History

Prior to 0.27, this enemy was known as the ironheart preserver.
Ironheart preservers were added to the game in 0.12.
