Yellow Purple Yellow Purple 3 5 5 3 3
Pros
  • Disgustingly flexible, with Call of R'lyeh offering TWO Intimidating Stance turn removals if he goes second, reducing enemy MP if he goes first along with chip damage, gives him Null Mortal, inflicts Gloom on the opponent at the start of their every turn, and offers a 30% damage boost to enemies afflicted by Gloom
  • As if that weren't enough MP drain, Lost Sanity accuractely describes the sanity of the devs at this point, being Megidolaon, an improved Mahamarin Karinon and Mahashibabooon, and a 2 MP removal all in one. Did I mention that instead of 8 mp cost like Megidolaon, it costs 5 mp at max level?
  • In theme with his kit, Suk Flexi offers different effects depending on whether or not he goes first, furthering his role as a midrange monster, and helping in the current meta where evasion can be king.
  • Panels increase his tankiness and almighty damage, while also offering additional buff control and Null Bind, so his chain effect to apply Gloom will always activate.
  • Has a great stat spread, with high Magic, Luck, Vitality, and middling Agi, which suits him perfectly as his kit doesn't care if he goes first or second.
  • Has innate Almighty Survivor for additional survivability and damage, because at this point what else does he need?
  • Oh, that's right, to match Nyarlathotep, he has four drain effects, giving him incredible anti-pierce capacity.
Cons
  • If he goes first, he won't have Gloom on the opponents without Nyarlathotep on your first turn, which is worth considering.
  • Suk Flexi is a skill name so terrible it gives Great Idea or the Slowda skills a run for their money.
  • He does suffer slightly from being a bit of an all rounder, in that he's too fast for a dedicated slow team, while not offering enough to run in a dedicated fast team, as even his mp drain in that case probably won't be enough to keep a T1 team alive if they fail to sweep.
  • Not particularly special in PvE where enemies have unlimited MP, and Charm and Bind are virtually impossible to land on high level enemies.
