Their only problem is their low speed. In early game they can be okay, also serving as protectors for your [[Master Gremlin]]s, but later on it's recommended to leave them in the castle, as to not slow down your hero. However, they are good castle defenders, boasting  low cost and natural magic resistance, and can still be used for final battles, as any slow unit, since it doesn't matter that much whether you're slowed down or not at the end of the game.

When fighting [[Necropolis]] army, make sure Golems do not stand next to any other troop to avoid them being targeted by [[Lich]]es' death cloud, as it can only damage Golems directly and also will harm other living stacks nearby. Golems should be used to take [[Vampire Lord]]s' counterattack, as Vampire Lords are not healed by attacking unliving targets, and Golems are tough enough to survive retaliation. Then hard-hitting but living stacks of [[Genie]]s or [[Naga]]s can decimate the Vampire Lords. [[Stone Gargoyle and Obsidian Gargoyle|Gargoyles]] can be used in this way, but are relatively more fragile than Golems and thus less suited to take hits.

Stone Golems and Iron Golems are level 3 creatures of Tower. They are recruited from Golem Factory.

"Stone and iron golems are built and animated through a process involving both precise craftsmanship and complex magic. Though slow, they are strong and durable combatants. Stone golems take half damage from spell attacks, while iron golems take only a quarter of such damage." RoE manual
