Best characters for Stone Skin

Characters that pick up Stone Skin in our curated build pool — with notes on why the combo works where we have them.

Speedy

2 builds

Stone Skin helps patch Speedy’s defensive weaknesses by converting armor into Max HP, giving him the tankiness he needs to survive occasional hits despite his dangerous -100 Armor while standing still.

Streamer

1 build

Stone Skin turns your huge armor pool into a massive HP boost, making structure-heavy, armor-stacking Streamer builds almost unkillable in late waves.

Well Rounded

2 builds

Stone Skin converts Armor into extra Max HP, fitting perfectly with the late-game goals of 80–100 HP and 10+ Armor. The Attack Speed penalty is manageable because the build is already targeting high Attack Speed values.

Bull

1 build

Stone Skin turns all the armor Bull stacks into even more Max HP. The attack speed penalty is meaningless for him, making this pure survivability scaling.

Ogre

2 builds

Stone Skin converts Armor into Max HP and further reduces Attack Speed, both of which synergize with Ogre's desire to be a durable, slow-swinging explosive tank.
