Abyssal Juggernauts are warlords ,touched by the Abyssal chaos whether through bloodline or pacts gone arry, harvesting the souls of their enemies to fuel terrifying durability and destructive power. Where they walk, the battlefield fractures under their advance.   Unlike ordinary warriors, a Juggernaut feeds on death itself. Fallen enemies empower them, strengthening their bodies and enabling devastating charges and soul-burning attacks.
