Auric Champion VS Auric Colossus

Hi,

What's the difference between:

an Auric Champion (Big Gold Statue with Spear)
and
an Auric Colossus (Big Gold Statue with Sword)

I've noticed the Auric Champions randomly throw their spear at enemies at times
but their melee attack with or without the spear seems to be the same.

Auric Colossi have a sword that does about the same amount of damage as the Champion Spear/Punch

both resist Chaos very well.

So is this it? (besides naming)
or is one slightly tougher than the other perhaps?

I think you just spelled out the differences. one has a ranged attack.

Why do you ask?

asking from a spectre point of view.

if your choice was between those two, would one shine more than the other in some small aspect?

edit: or are they completely the same and i'm only thrown off a bit by the fact that one is called Champion and the other Colossus which in my mind i'm trying to rank as one being better than the other. (Colossus sounds stronger name-wise to me)

They would both be pretty lackluster spectres.

show me any of those spectres surviving two vaal merciless smashes.
which i have tested with auric champions already without many passive healthnodes or minion life support gem.

there is not a tankier spectre out there WITH amazing chaos resists.

also you missed the question.

your choice was BETWEEN those two.

take your elitism "i'll just keep repeating "gmp/lmp spectres r de bezt" " to some other summoner thread, this is not about that topic.
