Drekk received lots of visits to his lair from monsters in need of his curative powers, but his brother Grakon was fed up with having his home invaded by strangers, so he spent his time scaring visitors away. He became famous for being Drekk's troublesome brother, and he ended up having to leave his lair. Now he's trouble on the loose!
Role: Denier
Overview
Grakon is a broken Nature Denier with some amazing abilities in the Legendary meta. With his outstanding skillset, he can use Stun and CDA to keep enemies immobilized, and he does a wonderful job at it. His multiple PER and Trait Disabling skills clear an easy way for him to use his AoE CDA move and three AoE Stun ones. If Dodge Area ever becomes a problem, he has two skills that bypass DA, and Single-Target Mega Stun or CDA which follow up with an Extra Turn, which he can use on a Dodge Area monster then deny the rest of the team. Some of his skills even Stun twice which essentially bypasses annoying umbrella Traits like Bulwark. With this he has access to four dangerous Tortures being Curse and Burn (in a Fire skill respectively) to deal a large amount of damage on their own, and Poison and Bleed to reduce damage. Not to mention he can also cleanse his entire Team of negative effects which also happens to cleanse positive effects from all enemies on top of two DoTs. If that weren’t enough, his cooldowns and stamina costs reach only at a moderately high level but still an acceptable one on his best moves which is outstanding for such a broken moveset. Outside of denying and cursing, he has some great Relics with Trap, letting him restore stamina, and Essence to let him revive just to piss you off even more. His amazing stats in general make him really hard to kill, more specifically his outstanding speed, being the sixth fastest Legendary monster. What’s even better is his Trait, offering a protection for himself with Dodge Area, making him untouchable when paired with Taunt, with Tough and Possession Immunity to provide a bit of protection from denials if his Taunt ally happens to get Trait Disable. Long story short, he is one of the best Legendary Deniers, if not the very best, and is a must-have in the Legendary meta.

Recommended Allies
- Obviously, Taunt tanks like Eisul and especially Rubellus pair amazingly with him.
- Monsters like Wickah who can help him TD and PER opposing Santerion are great allies for him.
- Turn transfer monsters such as Ahma Niah, UV Fusion, Pure Pandalf and Lindworm allow Grakon to obliterate the monsters of the current Era no matter his stats.
Counters
- A good Pierce user like Wildbird can hit him through his Dodge Area. Nitroblaster works great for this, as he is a Fire monster than can give himself Pierce and activate Grakon's pretty high cooldowns in one move.
Trivia
- Most of Grakon's moves (especially the unranked ones) are references to songs from the Brazilian band Sepultura.
- Grakon is Drekk's younger brother.
