Taro Hornspider(芋香巨角蛛)
Bug Poison Final Form Original Form
Vibrantly colored and beautiful, the liquid in its tail silk glands is highly venomous, and the webs it weaves emit a strange fragrance. It easily captures prey using body toxins and sharp spines, never living in groups—individuals maintain distance from one another without conflict.

High-Speed Poison Stacking Drain
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 low-cost or even 0-energy Venom Infiltration, while Cocoon provides team lifesteal support.
Why this set works
Use three 0-cost skills to frequently trigger 'Poison Gland' trait for rapid poison stacking, 'Venom Infiltration' as core damage with cost reduction based on poison stacks, 'Kick Them When Down' can double poison stacks to accelerate cycle. Cocoon provides sustain, Poison for Poison boosts Magic Attack based on enemy poison stacks while stacking (though actual Magic Attack stat is low, still gains with Stockpile bonus)
Cocoon
Why pick this skill
0 Energy Cost skill. Triggers the trait 'Venom Gland' to apply 4 stacks of Poison to the enemy. It is the core initiating skill of the Poison stacking system.
Fight Poison with Poison
Why pick this skill
0 Energy Cost skill. Triggers trait to stack Poison. When combined with 'Storage', it can additionally boost both Attack stats and provides team lifesteal support.
Venom Infiltration
Why pick this skill
Core damage skill with energy cost decreasing with more enemy Poison stacks, and applies 1 additional Poison stack itself. Forms virtuous cycle.
Kick Them When They're Down
Why pick this skill
0 Energy Cost skill. Triggers trait to stack Poison, while also doubling the enemy's existing debuff stacks, allowing Poison stacks to rapidly escalate.
Stockpile Buffed Output Build
Playstyle
Turn 1 activate Storage for massive dual attack bonus, subsequently chain 0-cost skills to stack Poison and maintain high attack panel, Venom Infiltration for extremely low-cost high-frequency output after enemy Poison stacks are high.
Why this set works
Extreme utilization of 0-cost skills combined with 'Storage' to obtain high dual attack bonuses (base 50% + 3 0-cost skills 150% = +200%), while 3 0-cost skills continuously trigger 'Poison Gland' poison stacking. Fight Poison with Poison provides additional Magic Attack bonus after poison stacking, Venom Infiltration serves as cost-reduced damage finisher.
Cocoon
Why pick this skill
0 Energy Cost skill. Triggers trait to stack Poison, while also providing the team with 10% lifesteal devotion effect.
Storage
Why pick this skill
0 Energy Cost skill. Triggers trait to stack Poison. Additionally, for each 0 Energy Cost skill equipped, both Attack stats increase by 50%. With 3 zero-cost skills equipped in this set, gain +150% to both Attack stats.
Fight Poison with Poison

Venom Infiltration
Why pick this skill
Core damage skill. Combined with maxed Poison stacks, can reduce Energy cost to extremely low levels, achieving high-frequency usage.
Mixed Poison Stacking Damage Build
Playstyle
Cocoon initiates poison stacking and provides team support, Corrosive Acid supplements poison stacks and deals damage, Poison Sting serves as low-cost physical damage to fill Energy gaps, and Venom Infiltration becomes the main damage source after poison stacks accumulate.
Why this set works
Both Cocoon and Poison Sting can trigger the trait 'Poison Gland' (Poison Sting's 20 Energy cost fails the ≤1 condition, actual 20>1, cannot trigger trait). Correction: Cocoon at 0 Energy triggers trait to stack 4 poison layers, Corrosive Acid adds 2 poison layers and provides magic damage, Poison Sting serves as low-cost physical damage supplement, Venom Infiltration serves as core cost-reduction output.
Cocoon
Why pick this skill
0 Energy Cost skill. Triggers trait to apply 4 stacks of Poison to the enemy. It is the most efficient means of Poison stacking.
Poison Needle
Why pick this skill
20 energy cost ≤1, can directly trigger trait to inflict 4 stacks of Poison on enemy (instead of 1 stack described in skill), while dealing physical damage.
Corrosive Acid
Why pick this skill
35 Energy skill, deals Magic damage and inflicts 2 stacks of Poison on enemy. Replenishes Poison stacks while providing Magic damage output.
Venom Infiltration
Why pick this skill
Core damage skill with energy cost decreasing with more enemy Poison stacks. Combined with first three skills' Poison stacking for rapid cost reduction.
Notes
- Taro-Scented Giant Horned Spider's trait 'Poison Gland' causes enemies to gain 4 Poison stacks when using skills costing ≤1 Energy—this is the core mechanic.
- This creature has 61 base stats in both offenses, belonging to the low-attack high-defense high-speed type (defenses 91, Speed 110), more suited for support/stall playstyle rather than burst output.
- There are multiple 0 Energy skills in the skill pool that can quickly stack poison with the trait, while 'Stockpile' can greatly boost both attacks based on the number of 0 Energy skills
- 'Venom Infiltration' is a core damage skill, energy cost reduces with enemy poison stacks, enabling low-cost high damage with poison stacking mechanics
- 'Kick 'Em When They're Down' can double the enemy's debuff stacks, showing synergy potential with poison-based systems.
