Overview

Description

The Stone Tempest is like a different version of the frost Tempest - it is T2 instead of T4 and does about half its damage and has shorter range. It is actually very useful and has an incredible knockback if you consider the fact it attacks every second, unlike the Aggressor that has a better knockback but attacks every 4 seconds. They are also very good for having two modes: a regenerative mode where they either reflect melee damage or gain a shield + regenerate health every second, and the attack mode in which they activate their incredible offensive abilities. Very effective, may be used for defending critical points as well as assaults.

Spell-blocking units can disable the Stone Tempest's ability to change modes.
