Recommended Skill Sets
Sustained Field Presence Build
Playstyle
Slow field presence: use Ethereal Form damage reduction to absorb attacks, Energy Blade to stack power, and Other Shore Hand for low-HP, low-cost burst
Why this set works
Utilize Intangibility for damage reduction to stay on field, with Energy Blade and Nether Hand as dual-core damage dealers, and Soul Snatch for energy recovery. Suitable for prolonged battles, growing stronger over time.
Otherworld Hand
Why pick this skill
Core damage skill. 150 Energy cost can be reduced through HP loss. Extremely low Energy at low HP, enabling burst damage with high base Physical Attack.
Energy Blade
Why pick this skill
Power permanently stacks after successful reaction. Suitable for slow pets in prolonged battles, growing stronger over time.
Etherealize
Why pick this skill
Powerful 80% damage reduction defense skill, boosts magic defense after responding to attacks, compensates for low base magic defense
Soul Snare
Why pick this skill

Disruption Control
Playstyle
Priority disruption, Fake Bill to block healing, Prank to reduce Energy and control field, Power Devour to weaken enemy then Super Candy to secure kills
Why this set works
Focuses on disruption and control. Fake Invoice counters healing, Prank drains energy, Power Devour weakens enemy damage output, and Super Candy serves as the primary damage source.

Notes
- Chaos Squid is a Ghost+Dark dual-type Physical Attacker with stats leaning toward Physical Attack and Physical Defense, with slower Speed
- The trait "Graffiti" increases non-native type skill power by 50%, but there are no clearly non-native type skills available, making the trait difficult to directly utilize.
- Skill pool focuses on physical output, supplemented by energy control, damage reduction, and disruption.
- Speed 70 is somewhat slow, needs to rely on counter mechanisms or initiative skills
- Graveyard Brawl costs 180 Energy and is affected by enemy Energy, use with caution
