Overview

With 110 base speed, Amphtyr is the fastest tem at face value. This makes it hard for other Tems to catch it before it moves if they don't have a decent base speed and priority technique. It has a solid typing and a good technique pool that allows it to be a fast and hard hitting special attacker while simultaneously being a support Tem that can offer special attack boosts with Sparks.

(1.3 DUKE'S NOTES - INFECTIOUS IS STILL REALLY NOT WORTH PLAYING OVER RELAXED BUT AT LEAST THE BASE STAMINA BUFF MAKES THIS TEM NOT A COMPLETE DISASTER ANYMORE. PARTIAL DISASTER.)

Amphatyr has fallen from grace as one of the best Sparks users in the game - it's the fastest tem out there, and applying +2 (in current terms) Sparks at a high speed was a huge boon for special attackers everywhere. Now, Amphatyr has to make more use of its other techniques.

This build is for a more supportive Amphatyr, that likes to use Sparks and Plague to buff and control the game, with the odd occasional Thunder Strike to score a KO, or Bright Beam to protect itself. Find opportunities to Sparks, and lay them on.

Crystal Spikers really like Amphatyr, because they are no longer speed restricted on Crystal Spikes - Amphatyr will clear their priority moves with its Sparks. Ditto for Tulcan, who can have Amphatyr Sparks before it uses Fiery Soul or Tornado.
