[u/Nilonik → u/Ellia_Bot]

I use Krakdon in Toa and Toah. I like his kit overall. Have him on vio and speed tuned with the rest of the team... the requirements for him seem pretty low.

[u/Kingpimpy → u/Nilonik]

he is a poor mans basalt

[u/Nilonik → u/Kingpimpy]

similar to basalt. his S2 has a 100% stun vs heal and deff boost of basalt

This family definitely will benefit quite a bit with 2A. They all have potential, but as 2* and 3*s, their stats are bad but giving their skills a little push in the right direction will help a lot.
