Abilities

Battle Cry
Start of battle. Gives +1 power to every friend, itself included.

Passive. An attack that would kill it costs 8 gold instead and leaves it at 1 health, every time while your gold lasts.
How to use Guildmaster
Best position: front.
Eight health at level 1 is the joint highest of any hero. It is a natural front-liner from the first floors.
Hoard gives 1 armor per 10 gold at the start of battle, so a large purse makes it much tougher.
Midas Shield at level 3 pays 8 gold to survive any killing blow, every time, as long as you can pay. Battle Cry at level 2 is a welcome bonus for the team.
Good teammates
-
Bounty Hunter
Another hero that rewards keeping gold, covering the back line.
-
Peddler
Gold income helps fund Hoard and Midas Shield.
Tier by stage of the run
Early B · Middle A · Late S. Late-game anchor that loves a full purse; best at the front.
