Stove Face is an enemy and also one of the 31 Playable Characters in the game Castle Crashers. His magical attacks are Non-Elemental and his starting weapon is the Gladiator Sword.
Stove Face's specialties include basic juggling and combo locking.
Information
Background
Stove Faces can be first seen trying to prevent the players from getting past them in Full Moon. A massive amount of Stove Faces are fought by the players later on, with some assistance from a couple of Iceskimos.
Involvement
It is assumed that Stove Faces, just like Iceskimos, serve the Frost King. This makes sense as Iceskimos don't attack the Stove Faces, or that they just have a common enemy.
Description
Stove Faces are only seen in Full Moon (25). Stove Faces wear full black armor with a six pack somewhat visible, a shield that is black with a spike appendage protruding out, and, as their name their name suggests, have a helm resembling a stove with white irises coming out of the helmet. Non-Playable Enemy Stove Faces wield the Gladiator Sword or Butcher Knife; however, Stove Faces will only wield the Butcher Knife in Castle Crashers Remastered. This is seemingly as a way to balance out the fact that the Gladiator Sword can Critical Strike the player(s) for a good chunk of damage or outright kill.

Magic
Splash Attack
"Arrow Rain"Element: Non-Elemental
Max Hits: 1 per upgrade level (max 7)
Damage/Hit: Base Magic Damage x 0.5
Arrows rain down from the sky to in front of the character in sets of three. Each upgrade level adds another set of three arrows. If maxed out and spammed, the Splash can stay out for a while, hitting any enemy or boss that comes towards it. A total of 8 characters (including Stove Face) share the same exact Splash Attack.
Magic Projectile
"Janbiya Toss"Element: Non-Elemental
Damage: Base Magic Damage
A spinning janbiya used as a Magic Projectile. Stove Face and Thief share the same looking janbiya, which really doesn't mean much.
Air Projectile
"Janbiya Toss"Element: Non-Elemental
Damage: Base Magic Damage
A spinning janbiya used as a Magic Projectile. If you know how to use the Fly (Fastfall) Combo, you can spellweave Air Projectiles or if you also know how to use the Fly (Slowfall) Combo, you can again, spellweave Air Projectiles, but with potentially more space to spellweave. Stove Face and Thief share the same looking janbiya, which really doesn't mean much.
Elemental Infusion
"Armor Pierce"Element: Non-Elemental
Damage: Base Magic Damage^2 + Base Melee Damage^2
Use 
/ 
to perform. This attack pierces armor, and it deals two times normal damage. That means it deals as much damage to a Barbarian or Thief on Normal Mode as it does to a Stove Face or Cult Minion on Insane Mode. A total of 23 characters (including Stove Face) share the same exact Elemental Infusion.
Magic Jump
"Dust Jump"Element: Non-Elemental
Damage: Base Magic Damage
Leaps up with a dust effect that damages overlapped enemies. This can make starting up the Fly (Slowfall) Combo a whole lot easier.
