Sting WestClaw SS- ---> S-

Sting was created to be a direct counter against Zyla and VoltaiK. While he is exceptional at this, he overall is pretty lackluster. His stats are great, he has anticipation, which is extremely useful, he has two different set up skills, to boost up his power, which is nice, but this is where most of his pros end. He gets completely walled by Taunt monsters, especially Koralle, since his best attacks are only single target. Sting does have an AoE skill, but it's overall a pretty bad skill. Additionally, all his attacks deal Earth damage meaning Earth monsters can withstand all his attacks. Sting has only 1 negative effect and it's basically useless. His one effect is Shield Breaker and it is utterly useless considering no meta monsters utilize shields. Ironically enough, Sting himself is weak to anticipation since he has 2 extra turn skills. He is one of the worst anticipation monsters for a reason, but if you don't have one yet, then he will definitely make a great addition to your team
