Aegis can not kill statues?

I heard that statues will not be affected by the petrification from Aegis, since they are stones already. Just want to confirm since I am gonna use Marble Oracle to kill a cyclop with aegis.

Correct. Aegis cannot petrify any unit with the hidden "stone being" tag. Gargoyle is one.

Gargoyle is indeed one. But Marble Oracle? I would presume yes, but might want to test it out in SP first to be sure.

Why didn't they keep it simple by making it not work vs lifeless?

What was that sound like a can opening?

OH GOD WORMS.

Marble Oracle is indeed a stonebeing. There's a list of units with the stonebeing flag in the 3.10 Dom3 DB thread. The information was supposed to have been added to the DB already, but had been left out. It has been updated for 3.17. There's maybe a dozen of them all told, but the Agarthan statue summons are all stonebeings. Monolith, Sacred Statue, Gargoyle, Living Statue and Crusher were some of the others.

So we can use the Stone Sword safety with Marble Oracle too ?

Are kings of elemental earth and earth elementals immune to petrification as well?

Neither of those have the stonebeing 1 tag, so no, they are not. You can easily check it out in the wiki.
