Notes
- Stone Crown King Lizard has excellent Physical Defense (106) and decent HP (113), and with the trait "Thorn Skin" can reflect damage when hit, making it suitable for the role of physical tank.
- Speed 100 is above average, but the move pool contains the speed-reducing move "Junshi"—can choose to lower speed based on playstyle
- Skill pool focuses on Physical damage and defensive skills. Magic skills are limited to "Mud Spray," "Sonic Bullet," and "Meteor," with unclear power values. Physical attack route recommended.
- "Rock Smash" synergizes well with the trait "Thorn Skin": the more hits taken, the lower the energy cost, while also reflecting damage.
- "Stone Lock" has strategic value in blocking pet swaps, suitable for targeting key enemies.
- "Sinkhole" doubles in power when defending and stacks Physical Defense, a core burst skill.
- Rich defense skill options: "Harden" (response attack + 90% damage reduction), "Burrow" (50% damage reduction + retreat), "Blood Qi" (lifesaving), "Thorn Shield" (damage reduction + enemy Physical Attack reduction), need to match with playstyle.
