Plague Egg

## Overview

Plague Egg is a solid option on Weakness teams, providing the crucial support skill Demotivate while also having Revive and Necromancy, it can significantly help with longevity and with locking down the enemy. It also has access to Supremacy, and so is used on some Supremacy teams as a damage dealer.

## Weakness Healer

#### Equipment

* Hexing Rod / Restoring Wand
* Hide / Hood
* Crown
* Slime Skin

### Build Details

Plague Egg mostly fills the role of healer, keeping the party healthy with Healing Wave and Healing Shield while bringing them back with Revive if necessary. It can apply Weakness with Warlock Healing, and supports it with the very important Demotivate, which is what allows Weakness teams to overcome healing with their comparatively poor damage output. It's the only mon with Multi Weakness and access to Overheal, so it can contribute a lot to the team's toughness, since Weakness mons tend to use multiple strong healers, and rather than the excess healing being wasted, it can be converted into a strong shield.

Hexing Rod helps Plague Egg apply extra debuffs, while Restoring Wand can help against opposing debuffs. Hide offers the highest toughness, while Hood helps a lot with Mana Sustain (it actually gives more than you need, so if you use it I'd swap one Mana Plus for a Defense Plus). Crown offers great toughness as well as some Mana, and Slime Skin is a great choice for any support but works doubly well on a Weakness team.

### Team Options

* Plague Egg is most commonly seen on Weakness teams alongside monsters like Druid Oak, Moccus, and Rocky, which can quickly apply multiple Weakness debuffs to the enemy.
* Plague Egg can also bring its combination of Multi Weakness, Demotivate, and Overheal to a general debuff stall team, working well alongside monsters like Vasuki and Arachlich.
* Lastly, Plague Egg has a small niche on Brutus teams, as one of the best Brutus protectors available, able to apply a massive shield with Overheal Encapsulate as well as Purify potential Blind stacks.

## Supremacy Attacker

#### Equipment

* Summoned Sword
* Bracer / Mage Flask
* Totem / Tarot Card / Charging Sphere
* Ancestral Medal / Charging Sphere

### Build Details

Supremacy is a very rare Shift passive and teams built around it need all the users they can get, which leads to Plague Egg, while not being the best combo builder or damage dealer, seeing occasional use on those teams.

This is a damage dealer build with a heavy focus on debuff application. Weaken and double Hex give us a good chance on hit to apply a debuff, and Multi Weakness can help keep the important and frail monsters on the team from being oneshot. Mana Shielding enables our Protected Offense. We also still take one node of Revive, since it's useful even at one point if things go terribly wrong.

Summoned Sword offers the best damage on a mon with no Crit, Ancestral Medal gives us useful stacks to boost our damage, and Bracer, Totem, and Charging Sphere give more damage and help mitigate Plague Egg's horrible HP stat. If you're willing to go for broke, Mage Flask offers even more damage, and Tarot Card can be used if your teammates can apply Sorcery.

### Team Options

* Qilin and Oculus are both seen on basically every Supremacy team. Qilin is the only Supremacy monster with access to a Charged Debuff skill (in this cased, Charged Anomaly) and Oculus is what makes the Supremacy team work, gaining 5 Charge stacks every time it applies a debuff and sharing them with Leadership. Other common Supremacy damage dealers include Kongamato and Lava Blob.
* Kongamato also has Supremacy and shares Weakness support with Plague egg. In fact, you could use a light shifted version of the Dark Shift support Plague Egg build on a hybrid Supremacy/Weakness team.

## Checks and Counters

* Being weak to water and having expensive skills makes Plague Egg vulnerable to Congeal strategies.
* Wonder Potion teams that use Molebear or Aurumtail can remove all of a weakness team's debuffs every turn, and makes that a very difficult matchup.
* The Supremacy team can be very fast, but it can be inconsistent, and Qilin and Oculus are both essential to the strategy and vulnerable to being taken down early against other agressive teams.
