changedIts first ability is Barrier Protocol which shields a champion up to 6 tiles away. The shield prevents all damage and lasts 3 turns. While shielded, champions can attack, but not move. This means displacements CAN interrupt the shield!
changedThe second ability is Fortification Field. Each turn, an aura around Guardian-0 expands up to a maximum of 3 tiles. All allies within this aura take reduced damage.
changedWhile those abilities can be incredibly strong, enemies can attack Guardian-0 directly to temporarily disable all of its abilities. It is especially vulnerable to ignite which deals a small amount of damage each turn for a duration, keeping it turned off.
addedIt is sure to bring a new layer of complexity to the game, allowing for more aggressive infiltration or slowing down an opponent’s ability to reach your key champions.
