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
Contents
Overview
Grakon is a phenomenal Nature denier and one of the best in the game. He has amazing stats and traits, featuring the almighty Dodge Area. His relic slots may not help him deny, but having access to Essence is great, especially with Dodge Area. His movepool is absolutely broken, with all different things a denier needs and more. This can be Trait Disable and/or PER before denial, activate cooldowns, stun or mega stun, cleanse his team and even give himself extra turns after denial. He even has access to fire skills and a total of four tortures, some he can even apply to immobilized enemies. Overall a must have monster if you want to compete in the high leagues.

- Two forms of denials in CDA and Stun
- Has 2 Fire moves as a Nature monster
- Access to 4 tortures
- Broken movepool
- Great relic slots
- Access to PER, NER, TD and Extra Turns helping the denials to become more effective
- Acceptable stamina costs and cooldowns

Recommended Allies
- Obviously, Taunt tanks like Eisul and Clipeum pair amazingly with him. Especially the former since his Mega Taunt has to be removed and then you have to disable his trait just to be able to touch Grakon.
Counters
- Lord Pumpseed is an amazing counter. He is a Fire monster with Corruption which bypasses Possession Immunity, The Honking, PERs and Disables Grakon's Trait, and Hayman Ghost Carnival, followed up with Single Corrupted, and AoE Corrupted.
- A good Pierce user, like Wildbird, can hit him through his Area Dodge.
- Fire Attackers like Nitroblaster and Rekka can leave him into ashes.
Fun Facts
- Most of Grakon's moves (especially the unranked ones) are references to songs from the Brazilian band Sepultura.
- Grakon is Drekk's younger brother.
