Zizania

Ever since this beast of alien origin appeared on Earth, different teams of monsters have been trying to contain its lethal attacks. Every time someone finds a way to control Zizania, it changes its behavior and becomes even more terrifying.

Role: Attacker

Overview
Zizania is an Elite monster and the first monster with Pierce status effect, which allows attacks to penetrate defensive status effects. It is also the first monster with an evolving trait: on rank 0, it is Hardened; on rank 1, Daze Immunity is added to the Hardened trait; and on rank 3, Zizania also becomes a Status Caster, applying Pierce to itself at the start of the battle. This Metal attacker's debuffs, Tortures, and vampiric moves drain its opponent's life pretty quickly. Beware of this alien machine.

Pros:
 * Great power
 * High speed and above all Life for an attacker

 * Special has AoE possession

Cons:
 * Difficult to obtain (Unable to request for its cells)
