I feel like everyone severely underrates anticipation. Basically every new monster added to the game now has a move that grants them an extra turn. This makes anticipation one of the most useful things in the game now, with mega taunt and PER. With all the extra turn moves monsters have Hookuai's trait makes him extremely useful and he will always get a few turns in. Anticipation and Control Immunity is honestly better than Control Immunity, Tough, and SC Quicksands. The Quicksands from his SC will most likely just be applied to a mega taunt monster anyways, so that isn't really that useful. Anticipation overall is more useful than Tough since so many skills now give a monster an extra turn allowing for Hookuai to get an extra turn in the process. Yea Ugluk has a skill that gives him anticipation, but he has to wait and actually get a turn in before having anticipation.

Taunt Hater is overrated! Yea I said it, overrated. Here's why. Most monsters will try to PER away the mega taunt of a monster. Once the mega taunt is gone then Ugluk can't deal crazy damage to the mega taunt monster. For his taunt hater to be useful, you have to wait for him to get a turn and attack the taunt monster instead of using PER on the mega taunt. Most mega taunt monsters will be under a control effect after they lose their mega taunt, so they can't reapply it to themselves if they wanted to for Ugluk's taunt hater to become useful again
