Stake is certainly OP. He is the best attacker in classic duels for a reason. Muerte comes close, but isn't quite as good, and iMigbo is great beeucase he is so versatile: he can support, deny, and do some good attacking damage. But let's look at why Stake is so good, shall we?

First, his trait. 35% immunity to all statuses in the game is pretty darn good. That's the same trait iMigbo has and about the same level of Muerte's. I would say that 35% immunity to everything is equal to 100% immunity to 1 deny and 2 tortures.

Then let's look at Stake's stats. Stake has better or equal stats to both of those monsters in every single stat. His attack is higher than either Muerte's or iMigbo's by a large margin, and that's one of the most important stats for an attacker. His health is the same as iMigbo's and higher than Muerte's. His speed is higher than both of theirs by a little bit.

Finally, where Stake really shines is his moves. He has a 75 single targte damage move and an aoe 50 damage move, something that only iMigbo and him have in classic duels, and both of those moves also come with bleeding. He has a 50 single target and self double damage, and a 0 stamina NER + extra turn move. This allows him to be less reliant on supporters as he can do these effects himself. His double damage moves allows him to do damage at the same time and setting up, unlike Muerte's does, but that one gives evasion, so they're about equal. Muerte's only negative effect is also bleeding, so Stake is basically a slightly better version of him with higher stats. I'm not saying that Murte or iMigbo are bad, all I'm saying is that at purely attacking, Stake is a bit better.
