This week we zoom in on the Sunstruck Aethermon Languravi.
𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄:
Two abilities set Languravi aside from starting Aethermon: (1) The ability to gain extra XG – advancing Languravi players through the game faster than their peers; and (2) frequent access to (p)ure type moves (ignoring defense) – giving Languravi a strong matchup against defensive Aethermon.
𝗔𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆
“Gain +1/2/3 XG when encountering a Special Character”
Not only does this XG allow Languravi to level faster than other players; but can pay for a crucial item such as a potion that will save the player a trip to a Healing Location.
𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 “Luminous Glow, Radiant Glory, Incandescent Flare, Solar Blast ”
“Deal 3/6/9/12 (p)ure damage”
While these moves offer no bonus against opponents with no defense – all bosses and many players have some level of defense.
𝟮-𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁 “Prepared Strike”
“(R)eact: Buff: next attack gains (p)ure effect, +1df”
This move allows Languravi to add the (p)ure effect to moves that might not have the typing (most neutral moves), while adding a small amount of toughness with +1df. As a (r)eact this decision does not take a turn to play.
𝟯-𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 “Blinding Strike”
“(Q)uick: Deal 5 (p)ure Damage, Buff: Gain 2 df until you next attack”
5 (q)uick and (p)ure damage is valuable. Because of the (q)uick typing, there is a good chance the 2df will trigger on turn turns, activating before your opponent’s attack on one turn, and not dispelling until after your opponent’s next attack.
𝟯-𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 “Enlightened”
“Gain 1XG”
This ability allows Languravi to gain extra XG from easy battles. When combined with “Blinding Strike”, it can extend the Df bonus for an additional turn.
𝟰-𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁 “Mirror Strike”
“Deal twice any damage received this round”
This has the potential to be the single most damaging move in the game. However, players should be aware that it is very ineffective in battles where Languravi is attacking first each round.
𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗔𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 “Gleaming Aura”
“Enemy attacks do not benefit from the (p)ure effect against you”
Should a Languravi player opt for a highly defensive playstyle, this ability removes the weakness to (p)ure attacks.

3 down, 5 player Aethermon to go. Looking forward to the next
