'''Heroes that specialize in Stone Skin:'''
Stone skin is often compared to [[shield]], which has similar effects.
* {{Hn|Darkstorn|Warlock}}
 
* {{Hn|Labetha|Elementalist}}
They both reduce the amount of damage creature stacks receives, [[Stone Skin]] in terms of attack/defense, which increases or decreases the damage dealt, [[Shield]] reduces the damage the stack has gotten after this calculation, but only hand-to-hand damage, not ranged one (which [[Stone Skin]] takes care for), not magic (which would be in the Anti Magic Spell Buff domain, not Combat Buffs/Debuffs).
* {{Hn|Merist|Witch}}
 
* {{Hn|Xsi|Necromancer}}
A rule of thumb wheter to use shield or stone skin in hand-to-hand combat is, that if enemy's attack skill is greater than your defense skill, use stone skin. Of course, with both spells active, your troops will receive considerably less damage.
