Talk:Classic Duels Viability Ranking/@comment-81.140.200.137-20200104083716

Countess flawless: B rank to D rank. Countess flawless is just awful. She not only relies heavily on possession, but also her only AoE deny gives her a 3 turn death countdown .Nishants pet (who deserves a slight raise to C or B IMO) is clearly the better denier of these two monsters.

Montezuma: A to S Cool down activation is by far the best form of deny in duels, since all duels monsters have such high cooldowns, and montezuma is the only monster in duels with both single target and AoE of it. She is also very difficult to deny with her mountain trait, and although her AoE CDA activates her own cooldowns, it’s incredible value and allows you other 2 monsters to dominate

Stake: OP to SS To be honest, in duels stake is really nothing special - he’s just one of many, many attackers with powerful AoE’s. He’s not bad, but just having a 50 damage AoE or 75 single target is nothing special nowadays. I would argue that Muerte mcblood is a better monster, just because his back to the damage skill is so incredible and difficult to counter - very few monster in duels have PER. Overall, he should be in whatever tier talent is, as they are just so similar in terms of damage and skills they should be in the same rank.

Beledig: S to B rank Beledig has nice extra turn skills, but they have warm ups, so the only thing she can do on turn one is the 40 damage AoE quicksand. Attackers in duels usually need to be aggressive, and have powerful skills in turn one before the deniers warm ups end - this is why voltaik is unusable, he can do nothing on turn one. Although beledig can make a bit more impact immediately, she doesn’t nearly enough to be top tier, which is why she should be down in B.

Just saying I agree with all of Babyxirons ideas, so I didn’t put any of the in this list. Also, where is scrap warrior? I think A or S rank would be good for him when he’s ranked
