Thoughts on Eye of Truth

Malekus1

Eye of Truth in a nutshell

The Eye of Truth hits hard, doesn't die easily, and provides the extremely useful Holy Light ability.

While it is a 17 point investment, it can be fairly survivable with effectively 21 armor, 12 DEF against many attacks (thanks to Ashen Veil), and the always useful Oracular Vision.

Other benefits include:

• A ranged attack.
• Two initial melee attacks, despite having a ranged option.
• An arc node when taken with Malekus.

Combos & Synergies

• The Vassal of Menoth is his best friend. It allows him to use all focus in combat and place a focus on him post-combat for Oracular Vision, or they can give him Enliven because he can "ignore" the inevitable free strike.
• Choir of Menoth goes without saying really, it’s a big investment that need protection.
• Severius1 can boost its defense with either Defender's Ward or Vision, making it even tankier. It benefits from Eye of Menoth like all other models.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• It's expensive.
• It needs a focus investment to work at peak

Tricks & Tips

• Because he has Immunity: Fire, any of the many sprays/fire AOEs the protectorate has can be sent right through him to remove any jamming infantry, letting him go destroy other targets he wants to be fighting.
• Send him in first to fight that colossal/gargantuan. Assuming reasonable positioning, the psuedo "blessed" effect he gives will let other jacks following up ignore the upkeeps usually used to keep them alive.
• Don't forget he's an arcnode when bonded with Malekus. A well placed Scourge arced through him can turn the tide of battle.
• Although it will cost a focus, Oracular Vision works on your turn as well and can "ignore" a free strike. E.G. if a beast/jack engaged and failed to kill him, he may be uncrippled (mechanik, Durant 2, etc) and go engage a more critical target at full strength.
