Okay, I was wrong. I forgot that Thalassa did have a per plus trait disable plus mega freeze move, and yes, Draghar does have that. But my point remains that many other monsters don’t, and it is a little harder for those monsters to take care of Eisul than Santerion.

That is actually not true. There are several that don’t have per but have trait disable. Take iMigbo for example. It!s less common, but still there are some. With taunt, you usually won’t be able to aoe through it because of area dodge, which is why area dodge plus a taunt monster like Eisul is so powerful. It means that even more TD is needed to get to the area dodge monster.

I’ll give you that some TTs are anticipation bait. Just pointing out that it is a thing that could happen. And yes, mega taunt is a bit better than taunt, but it is very very similar on a team with area dodge. There’s not too much of a difference.

Of course there’s better deniers than Eisul. I’m not denying that, he’s not meant to be a denier. All I’m trying to say is that it is helpful that at least he can deny, and yes, most of his stuff is single target, but it’s still helpful to have n a monster than isn’t even meant for that role. However, he does have more than just single possessions. He has single total blind (good for shutting down Hookuai and Ugluk) and also has a lot of things that drain stamina, like stamina leak, nightmares, and curse, making him quite good at that. You’re underestimating him a bit, I think. Tbh, the high damage stuff on Santerion doesn’t matter much since he won’t be used as an attacker. It’s nice to have per and NER on him, and tortures aren’t bad. The tortures are random though, making it not very reliable in terms of what you’ll get.

But anyways, to wrap this up, I think Eisul is still better, and no one is going to change that. But you’re free to your own opinion, and you can go on and support Santerion if you feel that way. I’m not tying to change your opinion, just saying how I think Eisul is still very good and a bit better.
