Barkskin dryads are fairly weak combatants. Even with their amazing armor, they are roughly on par with most [[dog]]s as individual fighters.

Barkskins have similar armor to a [[thrumbo]] (with more Sharp armor), but they don't quite compare - dryads have a health scale of 0.9, similar to a [[human]] and over 8x less than a proper thrumbo.

Compared to the more common [[grizzly bear]], barkskins have {{%|{{P|Health Scale}}/{{Q|Grizzly bear|Health Scale}} round 2}} as much raw health. Considering that even a standard [[steel]] [[knife]] has around 18% armor penetration, armor boosts this by much less than you'd expect. Against such mediocre weapons, a barkskin can be expected to have about {{%|{{P|Health Scale}}/0.85/{{Q|Grizzly bear|Health Scale}} round 2}} as much health as a grizzly, with this figure only getting worse against stronger foes and weapons.

== Analysis ==
 
−
Barkskins do one thing well: tank hits for your colonists. While your pawns fire from a distance, barkskins can face enemy attacks. Thanks to the unique properties of dryads, they can heal up permanent injuries in 3 days, and don't need immediate tending, making them very cheap blocking animals. Barkskins will also engage enemies in melee, which means that they won't be firing their gun. Friendly fire is a possibility, but barkskins are small (avoiding melee hits and having a 67% modifier to shooting accuracy), and they can be used as direct [[cover]].
 
−
 
 
−
As far as blocking animals go, however, the biggest detriment of barkskins is that they lack advanced training and cannot be zoned to specific tiles; they can only be assigned to a handler and released to generally charge towards and attack an enemy. This significantly lessens their value for taking on infestations and other close-quarters combat situations where you want something to reliably stand between hostiles and your own colonists, like at a chokepoint. Mediocre DPS results in long fights and also means that your average barkskin takes a *lot* of damage before it can take out something hostile. While they can be great disposable distractions to buy time for the cavalry to arrive, barkskins are not primary colony defense material.
