_
_Flint Fireforge is many things - a fearless warrior, a renowned craftsman, and a loyal friend to the bitter end. He is the gruff and grumbling fatherly figure among his group of companions, fiercely protective of them despite seeming to be constantly frustrated by their choices (some moreso than others). He is swift to act when danger appears, leading the charge with fury and reckless abandon against the evil forces of Takhisis._
**Flint** is a Support and Tanking Champion who buffs Champions in his column and the column behind him based on how many Champions are adjacent to him. He also decreases the damage Champions take and increases the damage they do if an adventure has lots of Underground areas. Once unlocked, you can find this dwarf fighter in Seat 9 (Makos).

The number of Follow-Through stacks can not exceed the number of Initiative stacks he has gained, and Initiative caps at 100 stacks. Both stacks reset when changing areas or when Flint is moved in the formation or removed from it.
