=== Immunities ===
<p>Tactician:</p>
Steel Watchers are immune to the following conditions:
The Steel Watcher Titan will always trigger Defense Protocol: Bulwark before activating Targeting Profile: Hellfire Missiles and Self-Detonate. These can be interrupted by damaging it enough to remove all of the temporary hp granted by Defense Protocol: Bulwark, 75 thp.
*{{cond| Prone }}
*{{cond| Blinded }}
*{{cond| Frightened }}
*{{cond| Charmed }}
*{{cond| Surprised }}
*{{cond| Poisoned }}


== Encounter details==
{{RarityItem|Flashblinder}} grenades are exceedingly effective in this fight. Not only will they {{Cond|Stunned|stun}} the Titan (and the other Steel Watchers in the fight) for 2 turns, they will also instantly remove {{Cond|Defensive Protocol: Bulwark}}. In Honour mode, Flashblinders become even stronger since the guaranteed stun ignores the Titan's {{Cond|Legendary Resistance}} and since Defensive Protocol is significantly buffed compared to lower difficulties.
* After taking a certain amount of damage, the Steel Watcher Titan will always trigger {{SAI|Defensive Protocol: Bulwark}} before activating {{SAI|Targeting Protocol: Hellfire Missiles}} and firing those {{SAI|Hellfire Missiles}} on the following turn. This attack can be interrupted by damaging it enough to remove all of the temporary hp granted by Defense Protocol: Bulwark.
* Upon reaching low hp, the Steel Watcher Titan will use {{SAI|Self-Detonate (Steel Watcher Titan)}} to explode just like a regular [[Steel Watcher (creature)|Steel Watcher]].
* On Tactician and Honor difficulty, the Steel Watcher Titan loses its vulnerability to Lightning damage and gains additional resistances.


=== Honour ===
Additionally, given its low int score, [[Absorb Intellect]] can quickly reduce its int to 0 which will instantly kill it with the [[Atrophied (Condition)]].
On Honour difficulty, the Steel Watcher Titan becomes the Hellfire Steel Watcher Titan, with a redder model similar to Hellfire Steel Watchers. Additionally, while in the Titan's [[Defensive Protocol: Bulwark]] state, it gains 200 [[Temporary Hit Points]] instead of 75, [[Unyielding Construct (Condition)]] prevents damage below 40 instead of 15, and [[Repair Matrix (Condition)]] heals for {{DamageText|6d8+14|Healing}} instead of {{DamageText|3d8|Healing}}.


== Tactics ==
[[Category:Combat guides]]
* {{RarityItem|Flashblinder}} grenades are exceedingly effective in this fight. Not only will they {{Cond|Stunned|stun}} the Titan (and the other Steel Watchers in the fight) for 2 turns, they will also instantly remove {{Cond|Defensive Protocol: Bulwark}}. In Honour mode, Flashblinders become even stronger since the guaranteed stun ignores the Titan's {{Cond|Legendary Resistance}} and since Defensive Protocol is significantly buffed compared to lower difficulties.
* On Explorer and Balanced difficulty, Lightning damage is particularly effective since the Steel Watcher Titan and all 3 accompanying Hellfire Watchers are vulnerable to it.
* The Steel Watcher Titan can knock back party members with {{SAI|Repelling Protocol}}, and the Hellfire Watchers can pull them forward with {{SAI|Reposition Malefactor}}. Make sure to position party members so that such repositioning doesn't knock them into {{SAI|Hellfire Missiles}} or an exploding Steel Watcher.
* Given its low int score, {{SAI|Absorb Intellect}} can quickly reduce the Steel Watcher Titan's int to 0 which will instantly kill it with the {{Cond|Atrophied}} condition. However, this will prevent the Titan from dropping any loot.
