Stag Knight

2nd AoE Dec DEF + Dec ATK mitigation — SWAP IN (was Anax). 6★, Spirit = hits STRONG. A2 Huntmaster: AoE 60% Decrease DEF AND 50% Decrease ATK at 70% chance for 2 turns, 4-turn cooldown (→3 booked = permanent uptime). Two independent Dec DEF sources means the shred survives Katonn's coin-flip, and the Dec ATK directly blunts Smite/Quake — the fight's only real damage. Ayumilove rates him 5★ Force Keep; HH FW decreaseDef 5 / decreaseAtk 5. Beats Anax, whose 60% Dec DEF rides a SINGLE-TARGET 2-hit A1. He has no aura.

Shred / minion clear — 6★ — A2 Huntmaster is an AoE with a 70% chance of 60% Decrease DEF AND 50% Decrease ATK for 2 turns on a 4-turn cycle, so one seat covers both, and the AoE is what deletes the buff-stripping right minion. Passive hands an ally 50% Increase ACC whenever their debuff is resisted, so the ACC floor self-corrects. Dec DEF only amps direct hits here — poison ignores DEF.

AoE Decrease DEF / Decrease ATK — 6★. A2 Huntmaster (CD 4): AoE 70% chance of a 60% [Decrease DEF] AND a 50% [Decrease ATK] for 2 turns. The Dec DEF is the team's damage multiplier; the Dec ATK is the only tool here that blunts Wind Slash and both minions at the source. Books take it to 95% on a 3-turn cycle for permanent uptime.

Swap — 60% Dec DEF + 50% Dec ATK in ONE body — compresses two debuff seats to free a damage slot. 6★.

Swap — The Katonn seat's closest challenger, and ahead of him on HH (8/10 vs 7/10): A2 Huntmaster is a 70% chance of BOTH a 60% Dec DEF and a 50% Dec ATK on CD 4 — nearly double Katonn's unbooked 45% shred chance, with mitigation attached, and Epic tomes (pool #10, 'book-now') are cheaper than Katonn's Legendary ones. Loses the seat only on wave clear: his A1 is single-target where Katonn's is a free AoE every turn. Passive grants an ally 50% Inc ACC whenever their debuff is resisted. Ayumi Spider 4★. 6★ already.

Swap — AoE 60% Dec DEF + 50% Dec ATK payload once shield is down; Spirit edge on FK20 — but only 2-hit A1, so he rides on others' breaks

AoE Dec DEF + Dec ATK (MVP) — A2 Huntmaster: 70% chance of a 60% Dec DEF + 50% Dec ATK on all enemies in one skill, and it applies no buffs to your team. 6★ built, unbooked — booking A2 (chance 70%→95% plus Cooldown −1) is the single biggest remaining upgrade this team has. HH 9/10, Ayumi 5★.

Debuffer (Rage blunt) — 6★ (record previously said 4★ — corrected 2026-07-27). A2 Huntmaster: AoE 60% Dec DEF + 50% Dec ATK, 4-turn CD → 3 booked. That 50% Dec ATK is the single mechanic that makes three consecutive +400% Tremor Stomps survivable on auto.

Swap — budget AoE 60% Dec DEF + 50% Dec ATK if Katonn is parked elsewhere (Spirit — same Magic weakness as Katonn, so not the anti-Magic answer)

Dec DEF + Dec ATK compression — 6★. HH 8/10 (re-verified), Ayumi 4★. A2 Huntmaster: 70% chance of 60% Dec DEF AND 50% Dec ATK together for 2 turns on a 4-turn cooldown — the survival debuff and the damage-amp debuff from one body, and the only unconditional Dec ATK in the comp now that Vogoth's is known dead. A1 adds 30% Dec SPD; passive grants allies 50% Inc ACC for 1 turn whenever one of their debuffs is resisted. Book A2 (chance 70→95%, Cooldown −1) for permanent uptime inside each 5-turn form window.

Swap — 6★. AoE 60% Dec DEF + 50% Dec ATK in one body on a 3-turn booked cycle — damage amp and mitigation together. Second Key core.

Amplifier — Dec DEF + Dec ATK — 6★ built. AoE 60% Dec DEF + 50% Dec ATK from one body: the Dec ATK is PREVENTIVE sustain (halving wave damage beats healing it back) while the Dec DEF speeds every kill. Unlike Freeze, both land on bosses too, so he stays in on all 120 floors. Book A2 Huntmaster (70%→95%, CD 4→3) for permanent uptime.
