yeah, jut fought one batch of them too at my lvl 3
30 stoneeaters had been done before by many enough it might seem as max is 39 but it all depends on artifacts and faction skill level.
usualy it's risky. depends on luck and stuff. if you get the enemy on one stack you can take care of it purely by hero and fairies as stoneeaters are slow.
