Dwarvish Defender

(image)

The pinnacle of dwarvish Guards, defenders carry specially crafted runic shields, making them almost impossible to dislodge from any position they have taken, even by magic users.

Special Notes: The steadiness of this unit reduces damage from some attacks, but only while defending. Some of this unit's attacks are not available except on defense. This unit is able to slow its enemies, halving their movement speed and attack damage until they end a turn.
