Debate: Crabbydroid is overrated.

Why? Well, because he is underwhelming in my opinion. Let’s just say for example, his Stun and Freeze combos. Yeah sure, it can make sure the enemies get denied, but there are monsters that have Mega Freeze, Mega Stun, or something along that such as CDA. All he has is just the Standard Stun and Freeze. Along with a single Trait Disable. You might be saying “But he has a Trait Disable + MegaStun? Well, there is one key component that it’s lacking. Positive Effect Removal is a key component to make sure the enemy gets denied, and sadly, Crabbydroid does not have that. Most traits now have a SC: protective buff to the monster, which could stop Crabby from doing its thing.

Also, his skills’ have insane cooldowns, making him especially vulnerable to Cooldowns Activated (CDA). Added on with his horrendous stamina costs on some moves, and you have a monster who is too vulnerable. CDA users such as Pumpseed, Ragnarok, Hookuai, and the upcoming monster Thundeer. All of these monsters can stop Crabbydroid instantaneously.

Third, it’s lack of Negative Effects Removal, otherwise known as NER. Although this may not matter to most deniers, it’s is most likely needed for Crabby. That’s because it’s applies buffs to allies, mainly Great Barrier Savior. Without the NER, there is certainly a chance for the move to become useless. Nanovirus users, such as Hornet, Ragnarok (again), and even himself can pose a threat to the move.

Time to talk about his lack of Positive Effects Removal. He only has 1 PER move. Of all the things he does not have, this hurts him the most. As without it, he is essentially useless. Things like Control Immunity, Stun and Freeze Immunity, or even just one Immunity by itself (the other could be a trait).
