Tips

• Stonewalling offers substantial protection as the temporary armor will be shredded first and then regained in future turns.

• Stonewalling is often used with Vigilance on Warriors as entering guardian does not prevent stonewalling.

• Be wary of using hills legs, the speed reduction is substantial and can become quite problematic especially if the hero also reaches old age.
