ION V2 (2024)

ION V2 is a top-of-the-line bounty-hunting robot. A very elite unit, only one is known to exist. And that is totally because it’s a very advanced robot and expensive to produce, not because it’s actually a metal suit being controlled by a tiny little monster inside it. Nope, just a rumor! Don’t bring it up again.

Role: Support

Overview[]

ION V2 is a very straightforward Metal/Light buffer. For his positives, he has great stats, a great trait, incredible relic slots and a wide arsenal of damage boosting effects. Essence is great Shadowyna's Essence or Cosmo Essence slot while Mask allows it to have a form of regaining back stamina through Torvax's Mask. Its movepool allows for a constant barrage of damage boosting, from a measly Damage Boost to the powerful Triple Damage. What makes ION V2 special however is its access to Team Random Hater, which, while at first glance may seem like a risky gamble, becomes more like a constant Triple Damage thanks to the fact it can immediately stack 3 different Random Haters at once because of his SC and Reinforce Defense. As for his Weakness skills, Light and Metal work perfectly well with the current top attackers like Griffania, Mouserk and Surgenia, all whom can take advantage of Metal Weakness while the former can take make advantage from Light Weakness. Unfortunately, Control Immunity, while a very nice trait to have, does not properly protect it against the main denier threat known as The Great Cthulhu. ION V2 lacks any sort of supporting aside from boosting which is fatal against defenses where Tyrant's Ideas is a highly used talent, furthermore, it has the odds stacked against the top defense teams of the era, those being Skydkold, Lumoona Iwa and Great Cthulhu teams, as Skydkold takes care of soaking the Weakness effect, Lumoona neutralizes the Random Hater effects through PER or Tyrant's Ideas, and Great Cthulhu can bypass Control Immunity by using its CDA skills. In short, ION V2 is an excellent offensive monster who works perfectly for swift battles, however, it cannot take care of bases that rely on debuffs and effect removal, all due to its poor supportive abilities it has.

Recommended Allies[]

Monsters that can take advantage of Weakness while also using the Random Hater effect such as Griffania Ironwings, Surgenia and Mouserk work quite well as they can stack the hefty amount of effects.

Counters[]

ION V2 is unable to do anything due to its moderate cooldowns, so monsters like The Great Cthulhu can take it apart.
Ironically, Mouserk is also a great bane to this monster as, not only is Mouserk a Magic attacker, but he also has Mechanical Hater.
