Notes
  • Cute Ape is a Fire-type physical attacker with high 97 Physical ATK but extremely low 36 Speed, trait Heat Dissipation requires teammates to use Fire-type skills to restore energy
  • The skill pool focuses on physical damage output, with multiple playstyle directions including buffing, burn mechanics, and counter mechanisms.
  • Speed disadvantage is obvious, needs to rely on priority moves or post-buff OHKO
  • Energy management is key; the trait Heat Dissipation gives it better performance space in Fire teams.
