Their only problem is their low speed. In early game they can be okay, also serving as protectors for your [[Master Gremlin]]s, but later on it's recommended to leave them in the castle, as to not slow down your hero. However, they are good castle defenders, boasting low cost and natural magic resistance, and can still be used for final battles, as any slow unit, since it doesn't matter that much whether you're slowed down or not at the end of the game. | |||

Their 7-9 [[Attack]] and solid 10 [[Defense]] are top-tier. 30-35 [[Health]] is the highest of all level 3 troops. 4-5 [[Damage]] is slightly lacking, but they make up for it in their great resilience. Low [[Speed]] combined with their toughness makes Golems natural defenders for ranged stacks or town garrison, especialy if town is [[Fortifications|upgraded]] with [[Arrow tower|towers]] as they deal good ranged damage that Golems themselves lack. | Their 7-9 [[Attack]] and solid 10 [[Defense]] are top-tier. 30-35 [[Health]] is the highest of all level 3 troops. 4-5 [[Damage]] is slightly lacking, but they make up for it in their great resilience.

Against melee stacks, [[Shield]], [[Stone Skin]] and [[Fire Shield]] should have higher priority than damage buffs, as Golems are more suited to keep opponents from hitting your own ranged stacks than to cross the battlefield because of their low [[Speed]]. | Against melee stacks, [[Shield]], [[Stone Skin]] and [[Fire Shield]] should have higher priority than damage buffs, as Golems are more suited to keep opponents from hitting your own ranged stacks than to cross the battlefield because of their low [[Speed]]. | ||
Depending on situation | Depending on situation casting [[Counterstrike]] can be surprisingly good, because while Golems aren't hard hitters by any means, they are very resilient, so when fighting multiple enemy stacks in melee these additional [[retaliation]]s can take high toll on opposing army. | ||
Against ranged stacks, [[Haste]] and [[Air Shield]] should be used, as their low Speed means they will be shot at more often before they can reach melee range. | Against ranged stacks, [[Haste]] and [[Air Shield]] should be used, as their low Speed means they will be shot at more often before they can reach melee range. | ||

Thanks to this immunity, Golems are great counter to any troop that can debilitate opponents, and are especially useful against [[Necropolis]] armies, as none of their tricks are effective on Golems. | Thanks to this immunity, Golems are great counter to any troop that can debilitate opponents, and are especially useful against [[Necropolis]] armies, as none of their tricks are effective on Golems. | ||
When fighting [[Necropolis]] army, make sure Golems do not stand next to any other troop to avoid them being targeted by [[Lich]]es' death cloud, as it can only damage Golems directly and also will harm other living stacks nearby.

Golems should be used to take [[Vampire Lord]]s' counterattack, as [[Vampire]]s are not healed by attacking unliving targets, and Golems are tough enough to survive retaliation. Then hard-hitting but living stacks of [[Genie]]s or [[Naga]]s can decimate the [[Vampire Lord]]s. [[Stone Gargoyle and Obsidian Gargoyle|Gargoyles]] can be used in this way, but are relatively more fragile than Golems and thus less suited to take hits. | ||
==Trivia== | |||
In the in-game portrait, Stone Golems are shown wearing a helmet and having something that looks like a mustache, despite the fact that everywhere else (including battles) they don't have any of these. This is probably due to the team deciding to change the look of the unit right before the release and forgetting to fix the portrait after that. | |||
