Bulwark

 is a type of Cadence in Massive Chalice.

Abilities

 * A long-range cannon-like attack inflicting moderate damage to all units in its path.
 * Special armor which activates after being hit, significantly reducing damage from incoming attacks for the rest of the turn.
 * Fortify -- give adjacent allies additional armor.

Tactics
Bulwarks can be a meaningful threat due to the moderate damage of their ranged attack and the fact that their special armor can prevent the vanguard from killing one in a single round. It is therefore important to ensure the first attack against a Bulwark during a turn is a powerful one, as any damage will trigger the Bulwark's special armor. Any attack after that is not likely to inflict more than a point of damage. It is also likely that the vanguard will be unable to kill a Bulwark before it has an opportunity to attack, so take care to avoid lining heroes up and when possible, keep the health of heroes high enough to withstand an attack.
 * The Hunter's Follow Up ability does not trigger the Bulwark's armor until after the follow up shot, making it a great choice for an opening attack.
 * Knockback/Stun/Blinding effects are especially useful against Bulwarks; just make sure to stun them after your opening attack.


 * A Hunter/Enforcer with Shoot & Scoot is great for taking uncontested "pot shots".
 * The Level 6 Shadowjack ability Sneak Attack can often one-shot a Bulwark.
 * An Alchemist wielding a Relic can typically one-shot even a Brutal Advanced Bulwark.
