How to use this creature in practice
Ranged stack requiring usable line of sight
Apotheosis needs line of sight to an important target. Position the screen against actual enemy reach; repeated ranged actions matter only when the enemy cannot quickly engage it.
Watch for: Distance, obstacles, engagement and ammunition are separate conditions. A ranged attribute alone does not guarantee full damage against every target.
Timing, specific abilities and the follow-up plan

Abilities and limitations
Refract and Reflect
Copies its current beneficial effects onto the selected ally without triggering Forging Perfection again. Cost: 1 Focus charge(s); cooldown: 1 round(s).
Unbending Pride
Creates a barrier that blocks the next damage instance. It is not unlimited protection against every hit in the round. Cost: 2 Focus charge(s); cooldown: 2 round(s).
Embodiment
Embodiments normally use −3 to +3 limits for both morale and luck. Their fallen creatures are ineligible for post-battle Necromancy.
Ranged Attack
Can shoot distant targets. An adjacent enemy replaces ordinary shooting with a half-damage melee strike. Targets at least three hexes away incur the reference distance penalty of 10% per hex, capped at 50%.
Flying
Movement bypasses obstacles and traps. Flying alone grants neither a ranged attack nor damage immunity.
Duelist
Close combat does not reduce this creature’s damage. This trait does not itself alter movement range.
Forging Perfection
Also receives beneficial effects applied to allies, retaining their strength and duration. One effect applied to several stacks is copied only once.
Purity Aura
Protects this creature and adjacent allied stacks against harmful effects. Maintaining adjacency is part of the protection.
