In the game the term stone gaze is referred in the medusas' description. The effect of both abilities are indentical.


Medusas' and basilisks' the petryfying attack may occur after they have attacked or [[retaliation|retaliated]] target creature stack. The chance of petrifying the target is 20%. If medusas or basilisks petrify while they attack, the target will not have a chance to retaliate. Petrification can be removed the [[Cure]] or [[Dispel]] spell. Otherwise it will last for 3 combat rounds or until the petrified stack is attacked. When a petrified troop is attacked it takes half damage (both melee and ranged attacks) and retaliates at full strength.
'''Artillery''' is a [[secondary skill]] that gives the hero manual control over [[war machine]] [[Ballista]] during [[combat]] and control over the [[arrow towers]] when defending a town during siege. Basic Artillery provides a 50% chance that ballista inflicts double damage. For Advanced Artillery this is a 75% chance and for Expert Artillery a 100% chance. Advanced and Expert Artillery also enable the ballista to [[double attack|shoot twice]] in a row, instead of once.  


Petrifying attacks are negated by the [[Recanter's Cloak]] and [[Cursed Ground]], but not by the [[Orb of Inhibition]].
