Stargazer

The stargazer build (Uranoscopidae), are perciform fish builds with eyes on top of their heads, which gives them their gametag, the Stargazer. These builds can use two elements at once, Poison and Electric. These are the reasons why they are also called "the meanest things in creation" by the playerbase.

## Overview

This build specced into great camouflage, having a high Stealth stat. Due to being solitary, it has low Intelligence. Due to having a voltage of 55 volts, this build does not deal much electric damage. However, it has a rather high Power stat due to having other attacks. Its Defense stat is rather high, due to having Poison and Electric spines. Lastly, weighing only 9 kg, this build is actually quite flimsy.

## Moveset

**Loot Lure (Active, Utility)**- Activate to spawn fake loot.

**Shockwave (Active, Attack)**- A shockwave that stuns prey.

**Electric Poison Spines (Passive, Defense)**- Deals powerful Poison and Electric damage to a potential griefer.

**Discharge (Active, Attack)**- An AoE Electric attack that can deal moderate damage and crit into [Cardiac Arrest].

**Burrow (Active, Utility)**- Gives a good Stealth bonus.

## Tier Placement

A-tier. This build has a variety of offensive and defensive abilites at its arensal, including the ability to suck in prey. Its combination of Poison and Electric defense is extremely hard to counter,even for its main predator, the Bottlenose Dolphins. However, fleeing is not an option for this build and it is also rather fragile.
