| '''Stone Gargoyles and Obsidian Gargoyles''' are the second level creatures of [[Tower]]. They are recruited from the [[Parapet]].
| | Stone Gargoyle is recruited in [[Parapet]]. |

| | ==Upgrading== |
| | Can be upgraded to [[Obsidian Gargoyle]] for 30 [[gold]] per Stone Gargoyle. |

| | ==Description== |
| Building the [[Sculptor's Wings]] increases gargoyles' growth by 4 per week.
| | Stone Gargoyles are demon-form statues animated for use as troops. They attack with raking claws. |
| | |
| == Special Ability: "Non-living" (i.e. Bloodless {{withhota}}) == | |
| Though Stone and Obsidian Gargoyles are considered as non-living, they are still affected by [[morale]] and [[mind spells]]. {{withhota}} In [[Horn of the Abyss]], they are called "Bloodless" instead of non-living.
| |
| | |
| == Heroes with a specialty ==
| |
| *{{H|Piquedram|Alchemist}} has gargoyles as a [[Specialty#Creature_specialties|specialty]], which increases the attack and defense skills of any stone or obsidian gargoyles for each level attained after 2nd level, and gives them a [[speed]] bonus of 1.
| |
| | |
| {{Fanopinion|
| |
| Their stats are considered to be pretty low for a level 2 unit, but they are usually used as cannon fodder to protect the [[Gremlin and Master Gremlin|gremlins]] in the early game anyway. Unfortunately, Gargoyles are immune to [[Resurrection]] and cannot be risen by [[Animate Dead]] as they aren't [[undead]].
| |
| | |
| Despite their average [[Attack]] and [[Defense]], only 2-3 [[damage]] and mediocre 16 [[health]] they are quite fast after upgrade, having [[Speed]] of 9. Obsidian Gargoyles can be used offensively to block enemy ranged troops or tie up melee stacks while your [[Master Gremlin]]s deal damage from distance.
| |
| | |
| [[Bless]] and [[Curse]] have drastic effect on Gargoyles as despite just 1 point of damage range with 2-3 it means 1/3rd average damage more or less. When cast with Advanced [[Water Magic]] or [[Fire Magic]], Bless almost doubles their damage (2,5 to 4), and Curse more than halves it (2,5 to 1).
| |
| | |
| The most important buff for Gargoyles should be [[Shield]] or [[Stone Skin]], as they are fragile but not particularly strong, so anything that helps them live and distract the enemy just a bit longer while your ranged stacks shoot at them is good.
| |
| | |
| [[Non-living]] nature means some of the most debilitating spells and abilities will not work against Gargoyles. This includes [[Vampire Lord|life drain]], [[Ghost Dragon|aging]], [[Zombie|disease]], [[Wyvern Monarch|poison]]. However they have [[morale]] and [[mind spell]]s still work on them.
| |
| | |
| Because they are relatively cheap, numerous, and fast, they make for good troops to overwhelm mainly ranged armies. They cannot keep up with real hard-hitters, though.
| |
| | |
| 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.
