The complete and satisfactory version of Iop

Less highlighted than the Iop Kasaï, this version is nevertheless just as powerful with a greater range of tools to manage all situations. The Stalaktoss’s passive allows it to enter the “out of phase” state if an opponent is around it at the end of the turn.

Once out of phase, he is able to pass through opponents and inflict his attack on them but also generate a shield. The overall objective is therefore to cross as many entities as possible to maximize your power throughout the fight.
