Not sure if this is a bug or not, but while defending a ruin, the ancient guardian I spent resources to build could not hit _anything_ at all. Even at point-blank range. It’s worse than useless because it also blocks sight lines and is generally a major nuisance.

Hello,

It could be a bug if the ancient guardian is supposed to engage enemies but isn’t able to hit them, even at close range. Have you tried repositioning it or checking if there are any specific conditions that need to be met for it to attack? Sometimes, line-of-sight issues can arise due to terrain or obstacles. If it’s consistently failing to function as intended, it might be worth reporting to the devs so they can look into it.

It completely misses even when the enemy is _literally_ adjacent to it, completely in the open, with nothing standing in between.
