Silverleaf

Silverleaf is one of the youngest yet wisest spirits in the forest. He was just a young elf when he first saw the future in the stone of his staff. He's made several predictions that have helped the creatures of the forest to prepare and protect against dangerous invasions like Zizania's.

Role: Control

Overview
Silverleaf is a great Nature Control monster that stops his enemies by Possessing them. He can also apply Tortures and debuffs, as well as remove Stamina. Additionally, Silverleaf has Support skills which include Regeneration and Skill Mirrors. He has an evolving trait that makes him Hardened at Rank 0, an additional Self Possession Immunity at Rank 1, and makes him a Status Caster (Team Possession Immunity) at Rank 3. He's a very dangerous monster, as he can vanquish a lot of attack strategies with his moveset.

Counters
Silverleaf is quite hard to counter because of his huge variety of great AOE moves and his trait. But there are some Fire monsters which can defeat him. Drakor and Lucifire the Hopefreezer, for example, are great choices, as they can Stun, Megastun and Freeze Silverleaf. A good monster which can remove his negative effects like Metalisha is recommended too.
