General Notes
As a neutral card, this monster has built in versatility.
He comes with a low to moderate allocation of health and low speed, but has the snipe ability and armor, additional health, and the stun ability at higher levels. After level 4 is reached, the stun ability is unlocked, which is scarce and makes this card good for adding additional sniper access to all splinters. It's magic attack type is also a great asset allowing attacks to bypass armor and have a high hit rate. With 3 mana casting cost, this monster can fit most team builds.
Add Swiftness monsters or summoners that increase speed to boost the speed of this monster when available and if desired. You can also add blast with Yodin Zaku as the summoner, which can greatly increase the power of this card.

Lore
A small sect of traveling Dwarves who call themselves the Dwarven Wizards have devised some impressive Magic Tech, after spending some time with the Gobson Engineers. Their magic attacks are slightly weaker than those of organic magic, and they must wear special gauntlets. Still, this achievement of Dwarfkind has caught the attention of the High Council of Archmages. There is an ancient prophecy which states that “When magic issues from the hands of Dwarves, the return of Helio is nigh,” and it seems that time has come.
