====Acastus Knight Porphyrion pg106====
[[File:99560108172_AcastusKnightPorphyrion01.jpg|thumb|250px|right|For scale reference it is only slightly smaller than a warhound titan.]]
The most powerful ranged unit you can get without entering the Titan class of units (although it’s not far off the price of a heirophant). When you use this unit you are buying it for its '''2''' twin magna lascannons, a weapon so powerful that it will perform well against all targets which aren’t infantry. It’s even “almost” capable of killing girlymam with a single volley of its two guns, but it has a suite of backups to get the job done as well.

Your downside however is that this knight is very poor at melee. A much smaller knight like a gallant or a lancer will make short work of the porphyrion, so keep it as far back as you possibly can.

*1 Acastus Autocannons or 1 Acastus Lascannon
