The Ember Cog serves as both a tank and a versatile tool. Its diagonal attack provides multiple avenues of offense, making it hard for opponents to create effective blocks or gates. With solid health and consistent damage, it’s generally the safest unit to summon. Combined with the Inventor, its diagonal attack allows for significant pressure on the opponent's summoner. Opponents must maintain perfect horizontal placement to stop it, but The Forged is adept at breaking through defenses to create new opportunities.
