An ancient construct, whose purpose was long forgotten. Disturb it at your own risk...

Golem is such a massive joke that it's almost kind of sad. Notice how literally all of his skills, except for Flash, use the arms, and how little HP he has, even when factoring Endure into account. He doesn't even really hit that hard, unless you screw up and let Power of Stone get to 3 or more casts.

He's such a massive joke that I'm not even gonna type up specific descriptions for each character. I'm sure you can easily guess that elemental damage dealers are kings/queens here--although, frankly, the only characters we have that have to rely solely on physical damage, with no viable options for elemental damage, are Freyja and Asriel.

I will say, however:
