Talk:Classic Duels Viability Ranking/@comment-44722828-20200112044704/@comment-39644519-20200112153318

In regards to why I think she should be there, Talany is basically a mini Stake. She has most of the things that make Stake great.

First, stats. Talany's stats are very similar to Stake's, and higher than most classic duels monsters. Her speed is the same as Stake, and power and life and only slightly less.

Her trait is also quite solid in duels (tough), and many great monsters have this trait, including Ingenica and Stake.

Her moves are also quite good. Just like some of the best attackers in this game, she has a 75 damage single attack and an aoe 50 damage. She also has self-double damage, as well as a small shield and dragon hater in the same move, which is nice. The only differences between her and Stake are that their negative effects are different (shock vs bleed) and that Stake has ner. Stake also has lower cooldowns on his best moves.

So really, she's just Stake but slightly worse. I think she's good in SS
