Hero Review
Guffa, The Stoic Gargoyle: The Red Wall of Silence
"Is Guffa the ultimate Rush Attack tank or just a slow moving statue? We break down this massive Gargoyle's unique kit, featuring Taunt, Softskin for allies, and a massive delayed heal that can turn the tide of battle."
Special Skill

Reflecting Stance
- The caster gets Taunt that prevents enemies from using Special Skills on the caster's allies for 4 turns.
- The caster gets +40% mana generation for 4 turns. (Affects only mana generated from matching tiles or mana gained by the defense team at the end of their turn.)
- All allies except the caster receive Softskin. (The next time they receive damage, it is reduced by -90%. They are also immune to all status ailments, mana reductions and Insanity. This effect can't be dispelled.)
- All allies recover 1400 health after 4 turns or instantly if the skill is cast again before the duration ends. This effect cannot be dispelled.
