Hornspike Spider(尖角蜘蛛)
Bug Poison Phase II Original Form
All joints are covered with fuzz that repels water and provides warmth. It can walk freely even on slippery rainy days. The dynamics of the world appear very slow in their eyes, so most Sharp-Horned Spiders are impatient.

Poison Stack Burst Build
Playstyle
Trigger traits by consecutive 0-energy skill use to quickly stack Poison layers, double layers with Kick Them When They're Down, finish with Venom Infiltration. Combines support, sustain, and burst capabilities.
Why this set works
Utilize three 0-energy cost skills to frequently trigger [Poison Gland] for rapid poison stacking, combined with "Kick 'Em While Down" to double poison layers, ultimately achieving low-cost high burst with Poison Infiltration. Cocoon provides sustain and team buffs, Poison vs Poison provides Magic Attack boost to compensate for base stat deficiencies.

Sustained Attrition
Playstyle

Notes
- Spikeling has identical ATK and MATK base stats (both 49), but its trait [Venom Gland] combined with low-cost poison stacking skills makes it more suitable for MATK or support builds.
- The trait [Poison Gland] inflicts 4 stacks of Poison on the enemy when using skills with energy cost ≤1, making 0-energy skills the core trigger.
- Speed 88 is relatively high, can apply poison or buff on initiative
- Weak to Wing, Fire, Earth, Fantasy, and Dark, watch for type disadvantage
