Grand Warden Altar

This veteran battle-scholar seeks out groups of friendly troops to fight behind and boost with his Life Aura, and assumes the form of a tower on defence. Attacking, he can walk over walls or fly high, and can make nearby troops immune to damage once his Eternal Tome ability is unlocked!

SUMMARY

The Grand Warden Altar is basically a Barracks/Army Camp/Laboratory for the Grand Warden. When he isn't engaging in a battle, the Grand Warden can be seen pacing around his Altar or sleeping on top of it to regenerate health.
If you wish to see the Grand Warden's targeting range, tap either on him or on his Altar.
You need a free Builder and at least 6,000,000 Elixir to build the Altar.
When under attack, the Grand Warden will return to his altar and turn to a statue that functions as a defense but with his life aura still in effect to friendly units and buildings.

TRIVIA

It was added with the 10th December 2015 Town Hall 11 update, and confirmed at ClashCon 2015 on October 24th.
There is no upgrade difference between levels, it is just the Grand Warden itself that changes.
It is the only Hero Altar to be purchased with regular Elixir.
The Builder has his own animation for upgrading the Heroes' altars. He forms some gold in a furnace near the altar, and hits it with his hammer on an anvil, despite it being made of stone.
If you drop a Lightning Spell on the Altar that has Grand Warden on defense (even without deploying any troops), the Grand Warden will turn into a statue before the Lightning hits. Since the statue takes Grand Warden's hitpoints, it can't be destroyed with a single Lightning Spell.
If the Grand Warden is not on defense (sleep mode, upgrading or regenerating), a single Lightning Spell of any level will destroy the Altar.
By simply tapping the Altar, you are able to view the Grand Warden's DPS, HP, Life Aura ability, upgrade cost, and Ability duration.
The Altar is emblazoned with a shield, representing that the Grand Warden is a support troop that shields your main kill force.
This is the only Hero Altar where there is nothing on it or sticking out of it.
