Darude

Darude is a monster who shares his name with a dead meme based off the catchy mid-2010s song Darude Sandstorm.

Overview
Darude is a somewhat noteworthy Earth monster. He has some interesting moves with some interesting status effects such as Shields or Damage Mirror. He also has some Earth offensive moves that deal a decent amount of damage while applying a effect such as Stun to name one. However, Darude has flaws that will be explained in the cons, and that’s what keeps him safely secured in the B- rank at Viability Ranking.
