Recommended Skill Sets
Thorn Skin Reflect Tank
Playstyle
Physical Tank Retaliation, field presence attrition
Why this set works
Maximizes the thorn damage mechanic of trait Thorn Skin, stacking extreme Physical Defense through Stone Skin to boost counter damage, Hardening/Blood Aura dual response skills for survival, Stone Lock for damage and control. Extremely oppressive against Physical attackers.
Stone Skin Technique
Why pick this skill
Core Physical DEF buff skill. Physical DEF +160% combined with Thorn Skin trait greatly increases counter damage when hit. Magic DEF -60% drawback can be compensated by other damage reduction skills.
Hardening
Why pick this skill
High-damage-reduction counter skill, 90% reduction effectively resists burst damage; -2 energy cost if last used attack skill, forming cycle with output skills
Stone Lock
Why pick this skill
This type's Physical output + control, 50 Energy cost is relatively low, 3-turn swap ban can lock enemy rotation, combined with high Physical Defense for field pressure.
Blood Qi
Why pick this skill
Survival response skill. 60% damage reduction + fatal damage leaves 1 HP. Prevents instant death from Grass/Water/Martial etc. counter attributes, creating counterattack opportunities.
Response Counter
Playstyle
Prediction response, counter burst
Why this set works

Secondary Physical DEF buff: +140% Physical DEF and -30 Speed, does not stack with Stone Skin but serves as alternative, suitable when preserving some Magic DEF is needed.
Sinkhole
Why pick this skill
Counter state burst technique. Base Physical damage + doubled power when countering + doubled Physical Defense, can deal extremely high damage in Counter turn.
Spike Shield
Why pick this skill
Damage reduction response technique, 70% damage reduction while reducing enemy physical attack by 70%, offense and defense combined, powerful suppression skill against physical attackers
Earthshatter Strike
Why pick this skill
High-power same-type Physical attack, permanently -1 Energy per hit taken. Combined with Thorn Skin trait that encourages taking hits, can become a low-cost high-output skill in late game.
Enhanced Rotation Build
Playstyle
Enhanced field presence with safe rotation
Why this set works
Balances field presence and tactical retreat. Stone Skin + Burrow creates a "buff-retreat" cycle, Stone Lock controls enemies, and Collision serves as a late-game finisher. Suitable for doubles or rotation-based tactics.
Stone Skin Technique

Core Physical DEF buff skill, providing foundational defense for subsequent field presence.
Burrow

Stone Lock
Why pick this skill
Swap-blocking control + damage output. Blocks enemy rotation to coordinate with teammates for focused fire.

Scaling high-power Physical Attack. Permanently reduces energy cost by 1 at turn end, becomes a low-cost output method after prolonged field presence.
Notes
- Stone Skin Lizard is an Earth-attribute Stage I creature, with a relatively high Physical Defense base stat of 64 but only 44 Magic Defense, the trait "Thorn Skin" allows it to counter with 50 power physical damage when hit, suitable for physical tank/counter-damage route
- Skill pool focuses on Physical Defense buffs, damage reduction counters, and Physical damage, lacking Magic Attack buffing options. Magic attack route not recommended.
- Key skills: Stone Skin (greatly boosts Physical Defense), Harden (high damage reduction + energy cost reduction), Blood Qi (lifesaving), Ground Collapse (burst in counter state), Thorn Shield (damage reduction + lowers enemy Physical Attack).
- Speed 60 is somewhat low, Junshi's speed reduction downside has limited impact, can stack with Stone Skin to create extreme physical defense tank
