After diving in, I got 51 damage with 8 energy of severly charred. Effect turns scales with damage?
Gonna try it with Kingly Strength in a couple days when I get a chance.
So, stone horn + stone heart isn't enough to make the statue wobble. Neither with 8 (4) str, nor with 9 (17). Having +6 "power when your opponent doesn't have a technique" (black silver chain + stone heart) isn't enough either. I guess the next thing I'll try will be to examine the statue. If that fails, I'm not sure what to do…
So, finally managed to make the statue wobble, and I can tell that there are at least two conditions:
- one is either to have a stone heart equipped, or to have some +power when your enemy doesn't have a technique
- the other one is either to have a fairly high melee power (+25 did it, +13 didn't), or to have crushing punches in your deck (other less likely possibilities are having pugilism, and a base str requirement of at least 10 and at most 15)
For reference, this is what I succeeded with:
Power
9 Etheric Power
25 Melee Power
-4 Ranged Power
Defense
2 Etheric Defense
9 Fire Defense
6 Melee Defense
-4 Ranged Defense

2 Bonus Power when the Defender has no Technique

Just got twisting chains, after trying to tear it down three or four times. Last time I tried I used the unscathed notebook as my weapon, making it wobble. I did not have any stone heart, horn or whatever.
My stats were:
Perception:
32
Reflexes:
24
Strength:
26
Will:
32 (38)
Power
5 Etheric Power
4 Fire Power
4 Melee Power
2 Ranged Power
Defense
6 Etheric Defense
14 Fire Defense
After that, all I had to do, was equip my black silver chain and topple it.
