Its plump, oversized ears are filled with water. When fully hydrated, they swell into spherical shapes—soft and elastic to the touch like water balloons. As it walks, they sway gently with faint sounds of sloshing water.

Recommended Skill Sets
Enhanced Field Presence Build
Playstyle
Use Mud Armor to quickly boost attack and defense. Utilize Vein Collapse for stable output. Scratch replenishes energy to prevent forced withdrawal. Stone Lock controls enemy actions.
Why this set works
Use Vein Collapse's fixed low energy cost trait to avoid Vigilance's negative effects, boost offense and defense with Mud Armor for field output, Scratch to maintain energy sustain, and Stone Lock to block enemy pet swaps and create kill opportunities.
Vein Collapse
Why pick this skill
Core damage skill with fixed Energy cost of 4, ignoring normal Energy calculations. Can be safely used at low Energy when paired with traits, avoiding forced switch from Alert.
Mud Armor
Why pick this skill
Core buff skill that grants +60% Physical Attack and Physical Defense, doubling when used as a defense response, greatly boosting sustained damage and survivability.
Scratch
Why pick this skill
Low-cost sustain skill that deals physical damage while restoring 1 Energy, maintaining energy cycling and preventing [Vigilance] from triggering due to energy depletion.
Stone Lock
Why pick this skill
Control skill, prevents enemy creature switching for 3 turns, combined with buffed high Physical Attack to pressure opponents, locking down key targets for elimination
Dual Core Offense
Playstyle
Early game: Use Vein Collapse and First Strike for damage and control. Late game: Once Rock Throw's energy cost is reduced, it becomes core damage output. Use Scratch throughout to maintain energy.
Why this set works
Dual output skill combination. Rock Vein Collapse ensures early stable output and energy safety. Rock Throw scales into a core high-power skill late-game. First Strike provides preemptive pressure, Scratch ensures energy sustainability.
Vein Collapse
Why pick this skill
Core damage skill with fixed Energy cost of 4, the safest high-damage skill for Energy management.
First Strike
Why pick this skill
Priority skill with Priority +1 ensures turn priority, used for finishing off or interrupting enemy tempo.
Scratch
Why pick this skill
Low-cost sustain skill, the fundamental means of maintaining energy cycling.
Rock Throw
Why pick this skill
High-cost, high-power skill. Permanently reduces Energy cost by 5 after each turn. Can become main DPS late-game, but use cautiously early to avoid triggering Alert.
Notes
- Trait "Vigilance" forces retreat when energy reaches 0 at turn end, requiring careful energy management to avoid forced retreat at unfavorable times
- Base stats lean toward Physical Attack (94) and Physical Defense (82). Magic Attack extremely low (30). Should go pure physical damage output route.
- Ground type is strong against Fire, Ice, Electric, and Poison, but weak to Grass, Water, Fighting, Ice, and Steel—pay attention to type disadvantages.
- There are multiple high-Energy cost skills in the skill pool, which can maintain sustainability when combined with the Energy recovery effect of Scratch
- Vein Collapse has a fixed energy cost of 4, making it a core low-cost, high-output skill.
- Mud Armor provides Attack/Defense buffs that double on defensive response—key to strengthening field presence.
