What you are walking into
Ashford Ironclad is level 22, carries 242 health, and is classed Stalker. That makes it a late-game threat for a well-equipped character. It punishes over-commitment, turning your weaker hands back on you, so patience beats aggression here. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Ashford Ironclad plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Ashford Ironclad
Ashford Ironclad is encountered at Sacred Heart Mountains. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination. The full entry for Sacred Heart Mountains covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 396 experience and between $8 and $22. Its loot table can yield Corporate Documents, Stolen Goods and Gunpowder. Drops are rolled per kill, so a full set takes repeat hunting. The first time you kill any species it is also recorded in your Field Guide, which pays a large one-off experience bonus and counts toward the Guide's completion milestones.
