Re: PoD's Monster Collection & Explaination
_______________________________________________________________
Monster: Neon
Talent: Adaptability
Item: Winged Boots
Skill: PoD, Thunderstorm, Super Thunderstorm, Mind-Bending
Notes: PoD enables this Neon build to unleash massive damage, and with the current trend of Water-Electric combos (at least w/in my server), I'd be able to use their weather skills to my advantage.. A fully set up Neon (Adaptability-Rain Prayer-PoD-Super Thunderstorm) can OHKO PoD-casted S Vertedeath..

Monster: Scythe
Talent: Resurrect
Item: Iron Shield / Healing Potion
Skill: Sandstorm, Self-Sacrifice/Martyrdom, Massive Boulder, Boulder
Notes: PoD is good on almost any monsters, but there are other monsters that would benefit from it more than Scythe. This build is already sufficient enough to take-out any PoD-casted Electric monsters in two turns (Sandstorm-Massive Boulder) inclusive of the end of turn damage dealt. Resurrect-Healing Potion combo is pesky on PvP and will definitely frustrate any enemies aside from the increased dodge rate received during Sandstorm.

Monster: Cygness
Talent: Adaptability
Item: Winged Boots / Iron Shield
Skill: PoD, Rain Prayer, Water Torrent 2x or Water Torrent & Water Bombs
Notes: Same as Neon, this build can OHKO PoD-casted S Vertedeath once fully set up. Though the turn delay may be risky and cost you the game this build enables you to deal the most damage out of any Cygness builds. A tandem with the above Neon will definitely result in a fast game, killing your enemy's deck of four in no time!

Monster: Cygness
Talent: SPD Boost
Item: Iron Shield
Skill: PoD, Rain Prayer, Water Torrent, Soak
Notes: This Cygness build specializes in providing support and surviving your enemy's first attack. With Cygness' low SPD / DEF and vulnerability on Electric attacks it is constantly in danger dying on the 1st turn. With the current trend of Water-Electric monsters there is a good chance of surviving the first round as most monsters w/ weather skills shall pull it off first in ladder and most of the time players do the same in PvP.

Monster: Draconius
Talent: Adaptability
Item: Winged Boots / Sharp Claw
Skill: Celestial Prayer, Switch Hit, Super Firebomb, Firebomb
Notes: Though Draconius may benefit as well w/ PoD, given that you have only one left I'd suggest you defer giving it to this monster. On ladder, this monster should come in after Scythe as Super Firebomb also benefits from Sandstorm. If you don't have any Grass-type monster you may opt to change Celestial Prayer to either PoD / Cunning / Fireblast as well.

Monster: Chunky
Talent: Unbending
Item: Iron Shield
Skill: Blizzard, PoD, Cunning, Aurora Borealis / Chill
Notes: This build aims for prolonged fights w/ the combination of increased defense, high HP and dodge rate this, Chunky can take down both an S Vertedeath (w/ Unbending, Cunning shall be ineffective) and Felicity. Blizzard would give you a bit more chance to withstand against Fire-type monsters though dodge rate maybe unreliable, the end of turn damage would be greater.
