Stone shield – Goodgame Empire

Stone shield

A specialized safeguard against a demon barrage of arrows - reliable in its place, completely useless outside of demons.

Quick overview

The Stone Shield is a purely anti-demon tool, and its sole purpose is to catch projectiles. When demons send a barrage of arrows your way and your line starts to crack under that ranged pressure, this keeps your defense intact. It works exclusively against demons, so consider it a specialized safeguard specifically for those battles where the opponent's wave relies mainly on arrows.

How to use it

Deploy it when you know that demons are primarily using ranged attacks against you. Pull it out on defensive demon maps where you are overwhelmed by a flood of arrows and your line cannot keep up otherwise. It is not a tool for every battle - save it for situations where the ranged pressure from demons clearly prevails, otherwise you are just wasting a slot that could serve another defense.

What to combine it with

It belongs to a purely demon defensive setup. Combine it with officers and tools that enhance defense against ranged attacks so that the effects complement each other and cover the same threat. It will only cover arrows, so ensure the rest of your line is protected against other types of demon attacks to prevent the opponent from bypassing you through other means.

Pro player tipPlan your shields in advance based on what kind of demon wave is coming. If you know the attack relies on ranged components, stack more of them, and you will save yourself a lot of damaged defense. It pays off to keep a reserve specifically for large arrow waves, where one piece won't save the situation.
Common mistakeThe most common mistake is to cram the Stone Shield into a universal or PvP setup, thinking it will add general defense. Outside of demons, it is completely useless and just takes up space that should belong to a functional tool. Another classic is relying solely on it and underestimating other types of demon attacks, allowing the opponent to bypass you where the shield does not cover.
