History StoneWall / VideoGames

** ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeon'' has a quirk where a species that normally receives one of two Abilities receives them both. ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon''[='s=] Bronzong (a Steel[=/=]Psychic that usually has either Levitate ''or'' Heatproof, on top of good defensive stats) therefore has ''no'' weaknesses and ''many'' resistances. There are only six types that do standard damage to it. Its offensive stats are as mediocre as ever though, weighing down an otherwise decent offensive move library.

** There's Georgia, who has a unique Rennaissance Walls replacement, can build walls faster than anyone else, and their leader, Tamar, likes to build high level walls making it difficult to invade.

* ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}} V'' has a few of these. Due to how it is possible to win a game peacefully, without going to war with other people, the stone walls in this game are very good for winning a peaceful victory while deterring anyone who tries to invade.

* ''VideoGame/{{CivilizationVI}}'' has a few of its own.

* ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' has [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Jerry]], whose only purpose is to make his partners' attacks longer. He can't attack by himself and has one of the higher defenses for any character in the game, making him extremely hard to kill.

** [[KillerRobot Mettaton]] is an exaggeration of this trope: while he can attack, he's not especially powerful. However, his defense is ridiculously high, to the point any hit against him will count as a miss. [[spoiler:Until you put on his switch and transform him in [[LightningBruiser Mettaton EX]] or if he becomes [[GlassCannon Mettaton]] [[OneHitPointWonder NEO]].]]

** A common Soldier setup is to combine the Black Box (a rocket launcher with reduced clip size and a LifeDrain effect) with the Concheror (passive health regeneration, can activate a team buff that gives everyone in the area increased speed and LifeDrain), and often adding in the Escape Plan for good measure (melee weapon that boosts speed when at low health), resulting in a character that regains health at absurd speed, at the cost of having little more than three rockets to work with for offense. It's informally nicknamed "The Bad Box" due to its [[SkillGateCharacter association with poor players using it as a crutch]] and being very frustrating to play against.

* ''VideoGame/RoboTrek'' lets you fully customize your robots' stats and loadout, which can allow you to make one of these - dump all their points into HP and defense and equip them with two shields, and they'll tank damage like a champ while having little to nothing to attack with. This actually isn't a bad option either - you can send them out as a last resort and have your main character heal up your other two robots while your brick-bot soaks up damage.

** Mammorest and its ice variant, Mammorest Cryst, have ''the'' highest base HP stat of all the Pals at 150, and a solid base defense stat of 90. This is offset by their incredibly slow speed and relatively weak base attack stat of 85 (by endgame Pal standards).

** Wumpo and its Grass-Elemental variant, Wumpo Botan, have the second highest base HP of all the Pal with good defense (100 for Wumpo, 110 for Wumpo Botan). Their base attack stat of 80 is low for an endgame Pal.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Meteos}}'', [[AsteroidThicket Arod]] functions in this way. ''Meteos'' is a FallingBlocks puzzle game where each civilization has different physics. Arod is the one with the weakest gravity, so blocks fall slowly and are cleared slowly. In multiplayer, this creates the effect of Arod being slow to attack with garbage blocks, and when it does, it doesn't usually hit that hard. However, the slowness also means attacks from opponents come slowly, allowing the Arod player ample time to defend and withstand those attacks. Arod wins matches by sheer endurance, waiting for the opponent to slip up and destroy themselves.
* ''VideoGame/CubeColossus'': An ShootEmUp, with multiple playable ships to shoot from. One of them is A.M.U-02, described as:
--> High Shield, Slow Move, Weak Attack.

** The queen of the example belongs to Cresselia. Her HP is ridiculously high, with an amazing Defense and Special Defense stat to back her up as well as having access to several fantastic status moves, making it impossible for most Pokemon to take Cresselia down with just one hit, even if it deals super effective damage to her. However, her offensive stats are pretty underwhelming, especially for a Legendary Pokemon.

* ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'': The Stone ability. [[TakenForGranite Turning into a stone]] renders Kirby immune to just about any damage, but its only attack relies on Kirby doing this midair to smash enemies on the way down. And if he's flying, he needs to release air before using the ability, which can complicate things in certain cases.

* ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'': The Stone ability is an almost literal example. [[TakenForGranite Turning into a stone]] renders Kirby immune to just about any attack, but unlike other abilities, there's no easy way to attack enemies with it, since you have to jump/drop from mid-air and land on enemies, or at least near them. Ah, and Kirby can't do this while puffed up without releasing air first, so you have to be careful to either jump just once to attack, or fly just to the right height and drop from there.

* Wood Man in ''VideoGame/MegaMansSoccer'' has atrocious speed and one of the worst super shots in the game, but the highest defense of any character other than Wily (who is unplayable without cheats). He's an excellent choice for your goalie.
