Animated Objects

Tactics: Animated Armors start combat by surprising intruders with their false appearance and mindlessly Slam the nearest target. If controlled by an Unlicensed Enchanter, they fight smarter prioritizing threats and staying close enough to interpose. Unlicensed Enchanters use Shocking Bolt against the biggest threat and Sparkstep to teleport out of tough situations next to friendly animated objects or other metallic objects to safely reposition if needed, preferring high ground or cover if possible.

Animated Tubas start combat by descending on their enemies to cover their heads and block their sight. Then they follow up with Sound Blast. They prefer to attack ranged characters over melee ones.
