===VII Legion: [[Imperial Fists]]===

* Warlords : Alexis Pollux, Sigismund, Camba Diaz, Rogal Dorn.

Dorn's Dependable Defenders. Their unique mechanic is Bastion, which effectively gives units with it an additional health total (to the value of whatever number Bastion is on the card) when being attacked. The Bastion "health" will be depleted first in this case. Note that this does not count when the card itself attacks. They would naturally suit a defensive playstyle but Bastion means that your enemeies can break themselves on you and leaving you with enough health to counterattack (albeit with less chance of surviving). Your warlord can also have Bastion, which is is very useful as they are more likely to be on the defensive than troop cards. They also focus on structures, frontline, and more general troop buffing. 

In terms of overall deck strategy, you NEED board control as quickly as possible. Most of your troops are also badly costed for their non-bastion buffed stats, so you picking your moments to go on the offense is crucial. Playing the long game is also very much in your favour, both in terms of getting your better cards out but also grinding down your opponent before a counterattack.

Their LTGB update gave them some much needed options for going on the offence.
