Flush, Invalidate and Unbending.

What exactly are the difference between flush and invalidate? And unbending, is supposed to only activate when it's stats are being altered by some other monster, but I remember it activating when I tried to use shadow swipe, meaning that my matk was supposed to rise but didnt. That was a while ago, so maybe it was a bug and was patched? Dunno.

Oh and what about pure? Does it mean that an opponent using stats boosts won't actually get to use those stat boosts against the pure monster or does it mean it's stats can't be changed by opponent monsters, like unbending?

I think flush is only activated when the monster enters battle, while invalidate works all the time. Unbending happens only when other monsters try to change your stats. Not too sure if this also applies to self, ie. MATK raise from shadow swipe but it says that it's only when other monsters use it against you.

Pure, I'm unsure about as I've never come across a monster with that talent yet. Edit: I think pure might be the same as unbending in a different way... The description is confusing so I'm unsure if it means debuffs as it can't get poisoned, burnt, frozen, etc. Buffs meaning probably isn't affected by those that use the sun for additional damage and it instead does normal damage as if there were no sun. Not really, sure but I think that's my understanding.

I think Flush is changed so that awesome talent reset stats to normal ones no matter if u get buff or debuff and it make it every start of the turn - so it is awesome talent if u want to beat POD monsters without getting hit (ladder ofc )... Invalidate is the talent that does not give chance to stats to be changed, its is simple u buff ur self invalidate trigger or u get debuff - same and same for ur enemy , BUT Invalidate got weakness that is called penetrate - it give ur enemy chance to buff and also to put debuff on u . Unbending is same as invalidate but it work only for ur monster and also u can put buffs/debuffs to ur self as for example u can use POD or u can get debuff from massive boulder , but ur stats cannot be lowered by enemy - sadly that talent also have weakness and its same - Penetrate . About Pure if it work proper it should be like flush but u can put buffs on ur monster and ofc buffs/debuffs that u and ur enemy puts over yourself will not be cleaned every turn , example if ur enemy use POD he will have stats buffed but they wont work on u coz of pure , but u can buff ur self . There is big differences in all of these talents , they might look close but they are all very different .
