No other class has as much retaliation damage, and damage negation, as the Stone Warden (although [[Wyrmic]]s run a strong second place). So, at first glance the basic strategy is to maximize [[Armour]], pile on the retaliation ([[Eldritch infusion (talent)|Eldritch Infusion]], [[Shards (talent)|Shards]], and equipment), and take the hits.
+
−
 
+
−
Further damage negation comes in the form of [[Stone fortress (talent)|Stone Fortress]] + [[Resilience of the dwarves (talent)|Resilience of the Dwarves]]. When these are in effect, you can absorb damage from non-physical (elemental) attacks using your Armour. This is your primary means of survival, and what a potent means it is.
+
−
 
+
−
Offensively, your dual-wielded shields don't quite dish out the raw pounding of the warrior classes, but you can summon aid with [[Elemental split (talent)|Elemental Split]], or use [[Deeprock form (talent)|Deeprock Form]] to make volcanos and throw boulders.
+
−
 
+
−
Mobility is poor. [[Stone vines (talent)|Stone Vines]] let you close with an entangled opponent via [[Rockwalk (talent)|Rockwalk]], but they also reduce your regular movement rate by 50%. Adding some movement infusions, or boots of rushing, or similar accessories to help with mobility, would be wise.

Stone Warden is a class introduced in the base game. It must be unlocked by, as a member of the Dwarf metarace (a Dwarf or Drem), having at least 10 raw levels of spell talents, and at least 10 raw levels of nature talents. Note that runes and taints are spell talents, and infusions are nature talents.

This class can only be played as a Dwarf or Drem.

Random bosses cannot be Stone Wardens.

Locked Description

The Spellblazes scars may be starting to heal,

but little can change how the partisans feel.

Nature and arcane could bridge their divide -

and when it comes down to it, gold won't take sides...

Description

Stone Wardens are dwarves trained in both the eldritch arts and the worship of nature.

While other races are stuck in their belief that arcane forces and natural forces are meant to oppose, dwarves have found a way to combine them in harmony.

Stone Wardens are armoured fighters, dual wielding shields to channel many of their powers.

Their most important stats are: Strength, Magic and Willpower

New Class Unlocked Description

While most races of Eyal firmly believe that arcane and nature forces are opposites, Dwarves have found a way to bind them together and meld them into a power to be reckoned with.

You have mastered some arcane and wild talents at a crude level can now create new dwarf characters with the Stone Warden class.

Stone Wardens are Wilders, who are at home in the wilds and draw their power from their connection with nature and arcane. Class features:

  • Dual wield shields and bash your foes with arcane enhanced shield strikes
  • Combine arcane and nature forces to split yourself into two powerful halves
  • Use vines of stone to grab and assail your foes
  • Turn into a huge earth elemental and summon volcanos
  • Dwarf race exclusive class (Select it at birth for the option to even appear)

All Wilder classes use Equilibrium for their powers. It represents their connection to nature. The higher it gets the more off-balance they are with it.

A high Equilibrium makes for a chance to fail to use a power and lose a turn. Stone Wardens also use Mana.
