Which "instruments" rely on pitot and static press

Besides the obvious, airspeed and altitude, which other instruments rely on pitot static pressures? I'm trying to figure out procedures in IMC if the static port swallows a bug or ices up.

Thanks

The attitude on a Dynon EFIS requires accurate pitot and static. You should not rely on the attitude in the situation when you do not have accurate airspeed. We've never seen it roll over on you, but it can be off quite a bit in pitch and to a lesser extent, roll.

The ball will be correct without airspeed, but that's about it.
