=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
The Devout is a protector - between Shield Guard, Spell Ward, and Defensive Strike it stands between your caster and the enemy and helps prevent them making it through.


Despite it's role it is on the chassis with the lowest base armour in the protectorate, so it can't stand up to punishment as well as the [[Revenger]] or [[Vigilant]] but it but does have a bargain basement cost and some great utility.

===Combos & Synergies===
== Changes and Updates ==
* [[Harbinger of Menoth]] - that parade float is a big target (see also both versions of Reznik).
===Release Trivia===
* In [[Guardians of the Temple]] it's this or the Templar if you want a shield guard.
* [[Durst]] not only gains spell protection while B2B but also gains +2 defence and knockdown immunity, with his feat and deceleration assassination is not really possible.
* [[Severius0]] and [[Tristan1]] are both squishy battlegroup controllers, so they love a Shield Guard and Spell Barrier to keep them save.
 
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* Spell assassination enemies can pull the Devout, eliminating the spell barrier.
* It's an expensive shield guard. The enemy can attrition against you by simply ignoring it if they weren't planning to assassinate.
* If you just want a shield guard for a couple of shots, [[High Paladin Dartan Vilmon]] is significantly cheaper and [[Visgoth Juviah Rhoven & Honor Guard]] costs the same but is a pair of shield guards with some utility.
* Being in base to base with your caster means that it's vulnerable to boosted blast damage.
 
===Tricks & Tips===
Be on the look out for ways to use [[Defensive Strike]] like putting a Devout behind small base units to get a free melee attack on models that engage.
