Despite their | Despite their low [[Attack]] and [[Defense]], 2-3 [[damage]] and mediocre 16 [[health]] they are quite fast after upgrade, having [[Speed]] of 9.

Against [[Necropolis]] army | Against [[Necropolis]] army they can be used to stop [[Power Lich]]es from shooting, denying them their powerful death cloud attack, or soak up [[Vampire Lord]]s retaliation, similarly to [[Stone Golem and Iron Golem|Golems]] - Vampire Lords are not healed by attacking non-living target. Keep in mind that Gargoyles are not nearly as tough as Golems and are not likely to survive long in melee against powerful stack like Vampire Lords. | ||
