Desperate Situation?
[Mist Fiend] ranked 26th among Sequences. Logically, with such a high ranking, even without any eye-catching mechanics, its base stats should have been outstanding.
Yet it had neither.
Or rather, individual [Mist Fiends] were not particularly strong.
But after reaching the Seventh-tier, they could unlock a skill called [Curse Stacking].
