 * Whiskey Golem, Gremlin Enforcer**

=__Overview__= toc

A big animated whiskey-cask robot. What's not to like?

The Whiskey Golem is a heavy hitter mostly designed for the Brewmaster. It spreads Poison around, moves quickly, and is surprisingly resilient, especially in Melee.

=__Mobility__= The Whiskey Golem can move! It has **Wk 6** and **Nimble**.

=__Offense__= The Golem's only attack is **Barrel to the Face**, with **Ml 6** and **Dg 3/5/6**. On a Crows trigger the target also gains **Poison +2**, which synergizes well with the Brewmaster's Poison-based tricks.

=__Resilience__= On the surface **Df 5 mask** looks rather lackluster, and Wp 5 Wd 9 not much better for an Enforcer. Thankfully, the Golem has **Armor +1** and can use **"Fine" Craftsmanship** to gain **+2 Df**.

The Whiskey Golem also has a built-in Mask Trigger on defense: When it suffers damage from a Ml Attack the attacker must pass a TN 15 Wp duel or end its activation and gain the **Poison +2** Condition. This is a difficult duel and can often end a sustained attack.

The Golem also has a built in self-heal that allows it to heal 1/2/3 damage (cheatable of course) and gain the **Poison +1** Condition.

=__Upgrades__=

__Angry Drunk__
The Whiskey Golem has a named upgrade called Angry Drunk that gives it **Flurry:** it can discard a card to make 3 Ml attacks as a (2) Action. Combined with **Nimble** this can allow the Golem to walk into combat and get 3 attacks off, or get 3 attacks off and walk into cover. Not too bad!

= = =__Tactics and Tips__= The Whiskey Golem is a model that wants to be in Melee since it can excel there. Getting it there can be a bit problematic. You almost always want to use one of its AP to get to Df 7, as that is one of the highest Df stats in the game. Make use of **Nimble** to get it where you want. If you feel confident you can take out a target, nimble and flurry. Use cover with the Whiskey Golem since all of its triggers are against Ml actions.

=__Playing Against Whiskey Golem__= Ranged attacks early and often. Be prepared for its defensive trigger and Poison defense if you get close.
