Fortify<\/strong> is one of the three Basic Edicts<\/strong> found on every Glyphex in Hexarion Conquest<\/em>. It\u2019s your go-to defensive tool \u2014 simple, powerful, and often the difference between survival and elimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortify \u2013 Edict Definition<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Effect:<\/strong>
This Hexmaster gains Shielded<\/strong> until the start of your next turn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What is Shielded<\/strong>?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Shielded<\/strong> blocks the next source of damage<\/strong> the Hexmaster would take.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • It’s a single-use damage buffer<\/strong>, removed once triggered.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • It is tracked using a Runed Siglum<\/strong> placed on the Hexmaster.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The Shield effect expires<\/strong> at the start of your next turn if unused<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Tactical Uses:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Soak an incoming Arcshock<\/strong>, Backstab<\/strong>, or Attack<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Protect key units holding Sanctums or the Resonance Hex<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Stall for time while charging CE or waiting to Reclaim a Glyphex<\/li>\n\n\n\n

      Fortify appears on every<\/em> Glyphex<\/strong> in Hexarion Conquest<\/em>, because it is one of the three Basic Edicts<\/strong> that are automatically included<\/strong> on all Glyphexes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Basic Edicts (included on all Glyphexes)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Attack<\/strong> \u2013 Deal 1 damage to an adjacent enemy<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Dash<\/strong> \u2013 Move up to 2 hexes in a straight line<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Fortify<\/strong> \u2013 Gain Shielded<\/strong> until the start of your next turn<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        These three are always accessible when a Hexmaster is Attuned<\/strong> with any Glyphex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The only way a Hexmaster cannot use Fortify<\/strong> is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • If they are Unattuned<\/strong> (no Glyphex equipped)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • If they used Fortify on their last turn<\/strong> (Edict repeat restriction)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
