The archon's weapon attacks are magical. When the archon hits with any weapon, the weapon deals an extra 3d8 radiant damage (included in the attack).
The archon can't be compelled to act in a manner contrary to its nature or its understanding of justice.
The archon has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Though it appears as a humanoid creature riding a mount, an archon is a single being. The "rider" can't be dismounted, and no other means can separate the two portions of the archon's being short of its death.
The archon makes two attacks: one with its sword and one with its claws.
Melee Attack Roll: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) slashing damage plus 13 (3d8) radiant damage.
Melee Attack Roll: +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) piercing damage plus 13 (3d8) radiant damage.
The archon's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 17). The archon can innately cast the following spells, requiring only verbal components:
At will: detect evil and good
1 each/day: destructive wave, geas
