Ok tbh I can see stake as highest in SS or the worst Monster in OP. He is decent because of his hard hitting moves with Low cooldowns, and an amazing power stat. But the thing is, the difference in power stat is not a large difference. Stake’s 3685 is only 5.3% higher than mcblood and 3% higher than imigbo’s. The moves have insane damage output, but lacks negative status effects and are walled off by Monster like voytek, inquisitor fulmen and fatid. His status effects are not as good as Gelotron’s random torture (Random torture is stackable) or inheritor’s AOE ignite (ignite is actually scary on live duels) so he solely relies on damage output to bring his opponents down. He is very good at that yes, but I just find him to be not versatile enough. And the fact that he can be possessed 65% of the time and Attack your own team is pretty scary. Overall, he is decent, but IMO, he is SS tiers and arguably the best monster in that tier.
