"But having the coolest toys sure doesn't hurt," Tony replies, with smirk of his own that is, sadly, lost behind the armor's faceplate.
The archers lay off of Dante to focus on Tony now that he's made himself a target, which is exactly what he was going for. And the arrows ping harmlessly off the armor, which is exactly what he expected. He shoots a focused repulsor burst at one of the archers, hoping to bust up his bow or at least knock him on his ass.
Tony glances over at Dante again to check how he's doing, and sees him pull out those magic red sword things again and start flinging them at cultists. A couple of them land, and when they explode, it's... not pretty. He suppresses a shudder, losing his focus for a second.
He's got plenty of experience fighting, but he's still not used to gore. At home, almost all of his battles happened in power armor, and were mostly bloodless. Not that nobody ever got hurt— but seeing unarmored people getting chunks of them blown off is... different. And not in a fun way.
Tony pushes that to the back of his mind, and tries to just keep his attention on the fight. Dante looks like he's getting a little swamped, so Tony flies closer and shoots off a broader repulsor beam, aiming to knock back a handful of the cultists trying to swarm him.
