The Archival Golem, as well as any combat actor with windup, can be interrupted by being afflicted with stun. It just so happens that Akizet is capable of applying stun with consistency while focused using Overwhelm. It is also worth noting that windup also doubles the chance of being struck with a critical hit, making going for an Overwhelm an option even without focus. If not stunned, attempting evasion is likely your best bet, though have in sight that Calculated Strike has 100% accuracy, so being hit through evasion is something to worry about. In essence, Archival Golems demand a deadly dance of focus and stun, and managing this is the key to victory. |

Strategy
While Archival Golems are extremely predictable and easy to deal with on their own, they are highly threatening and should not be underestimated. Their Calculated Strike deals extremely high damage, as well as possessing a dangerously high 40% crit rate with one turn of Stun. Given that one of the enemies they spawn with can also apply Vulnerable, they must be handled appropriately.
The most reliable method to avoiding Calculated Strike is to not give a chance to use it in the first place. The golem's (or any combat actor with Windup) "Windup, Action" pattern can be interrupted with an affliction of Stun before it attacks. Akizet is capable of consistently applying Stun with Overwhelm while Focused. Further, Windup also doubles the chance of incoming critical hits; Akizet's Overwhelm is a viable option even when not Focused.
Without Stun, the party may attempt to dodge the attacks with the use of Evasion. However, Calculated Strike has 100% accuracy, carrying the risk of hitting its target anyway.
