Hackster understands an unknown dimension. He has discovered a way to hack floppy disks, multiplying their storage capacity. This technique allows him to keep a database of his opponents skills and use it against them.

Role: Denier

Overview

Hackster is a classic denier monster known for the Corruption effect, which bypasses Possession Immunity. This means that if your monster has a trait that gives them REGULAR Possession Immunity, too bad! Hackster will still Possess them unless the opponent has a trait that gives him immunity to all Possessions, such as Abomination or Gravedigger. Hackster has a great moveset, but his speed is rather low for the current meta and his trait is horrid. He also has no PER or Trait Disable either to chain deny. These reasons stop him from reaching higher ranks.

Pros:

  • Corruption bypasses Possession Immunity
  • Has 3 types of denial, 2 of which are AoE (Stun and Corrupt)
  • Access to Time Stop

Cons:

  • High cooldowns and Stamina Costs
  • Horrid trait
  • Bad stats
  • Terrible relic slots
  • Arpanet Explorer has a chance to backfire, giving the enemy monster Double Damage

Counters

  • Hackster is slow for a denier, and his trait is useless for avoiding deny skills. Any denier that is faster than him can crush him. Thundeer is great for this, since he can give Hackster a random Mega Control that is guaranteed to land since Hackster doesn't have immunity to any forms of denial.
  • Grakon and Lord Pumpseed can outspeed Hackster, apply CDA and even respectively Stun and Mega Corruption.
  • Good artifacts such as Santerion and Nitroblaster work very well too, as Hackster cannot do much if he is unable to control enemies.
  • Magic attackers are great in taking down Hackster. One great example is LazarBeam as he has the Control Immunity trait.

Trivia

  • Both its name and design are based on a hamster.
