Is Aphidus the Hivelord good?

A mythical with two forms: an HP Burn damage dealer in base form and a tanky controller once he transforms. Blisterbug Horde instantly triggers every Burn on the enemy team (or places one where there isn't any), and Fleshsearer stacks DEF reduction, Crit Damage and ATK off those Burns, so he gets stronger the longer a fight runs, while Umbral Stingers gives the team Increase ATK and extends enemy debuffs.

In beast form, Putrid Cocoon Stuns every enemy, Behold The Beast Provokes them all and buffs team DEF, and his passive Weakens and can Stun anyone who hits him. Hydra is his best mode, and he's a strong fit for Spider, Frost Spider, Magma Dragon and the Head of Decay.

  • Stacking DEF shred, Crit Damage and ATK from Burns
