I suppose it doesn't matter. I forgot it doesn't have any magic, so it can't very well teleport. And for the gems it would cost to empower the darn thing, I could easily get a better SuperCombatant. It really isn't that good, it has been beaten by independents several times in this game
I find this quite ironic. I usually only use stationary pretenders, because I hate getting my pretender killed. (I sometimes use the Phoenix, because while it sucks, it is darn STYLISH, and immortal.) In fact, this is the ONLY MP game where I have a non-stationary pretender.
