Iron Maul

Iron Maul portrait

A brutal juggernaut — it cracks your guard open, then brings the hammer down through the gap. And the furnace behind its visor is always hungry: every ember you bank in its shadow is drawn through the grate and burned in its forge before your fire ever falls due — each turn it drinks the bank down to nothing (Ember Eater 10). Fire borrowed from relics burns no safer here.
