Hackster

Hackster is a classic denier monster known for the "Hacked" effect, which bypasses Possession Immunity. This means that if your monster has a trait that gives him Possession Immunity, too bad! Hackster will still Possess him. Hackster is the best possessor in the game and arguably the best denier and that's why he's an SS+

Overview
Hackster loves to watch monsters kill themselves and be Stunned, and loves to be the one to influence them to do that!

Positives
 * Hacking bypasses Possession Immunity
 * AOE Hack
 * AOE Stun
 * Single 50% stamina removal move
 * Double Damage + Hack skill
 * Single enemy Magnetize + Time Stop
 * Amazing special move (AOE 2-TURN HACK)

Negatives
 * Cooldowns
 * Awful trait its actually trash
 * A bit slow for the current meta but good speed runes should fix that
 * Hack does not bypass the Abomination and Gravedigger traits

Moveset

 * Black Hat
 * Original Cracker
 * Phrack Editor
 * Arpanet Explorer
 * 3 Speed

3 Speed is necessary for a denier, especially since he is a bit slow. Black Hat Hacks All, and Original Cracker Stuns all. Phrack Editor Magnetizes and Time Stops an enemy, and Arpanet Explorer gives an enemy Hacked and Double Damage. His skill set is great and, as you can see, will destroy any team he can outspeed.

Countering
Once Hackster gets a turn, it’s hard to stop him. Fortunately, he is slow for a denier, and his trait is useless for avoiding deny skills. so any speed based denier crushes him. Jasastur is great for this, since he can give Hackster 2 turn Possession. Krampus is also a good choice. Al Canine can outspeed Hackster, apply CDA and even stun him, making him a great counter. Overall, just outspeed him and you’re good to go!

Hackster is great for mechanical wars, as he can Hack all enemies. Timmy is a perfect counter, since Hackster can’t deny him and Timmy can deny him. He destroys everyone else however, and is definitely one of the best monsters you can use.

OVERALL RANKING: 9/10

The same is true for metal wars, as there are pretty much the same monsters.
