Overview

This is the Tem to take when your aspiration in life is to buff yourself so much that you win not because all of your enemies are dead, but because they got bored and forfeited. Mawmense has access to doom, burn damage, healing, an excellent typing, limited self-buff opportunities, and decent synergy opportunities. Mawmense is an expert at living for a long time.

(1.3 DUKE'S NOTES - REFURBISHED IS STILL THE BETTER TRAIT. IF YOU GO MORE OFFENSIVE ON MAWMENSE, BINARY FLOOD IS NOW A GREAT VALUE MOVE.)

Mawmense is, true to its name, a very large and bulky Temtem, and for a Digital, its defense typing isn't so frightening as to scare off usage of it. What it has defensively, however, it lacks in notable offenses and speed. making it a bit difficult to stick Mawmense as a threat on the board. Its biggest weakness is mostly the opponent's capacity to ignore it, and on pretty much every board where it cannot score a 2x hit, ignoring Mawmense is fairly optimal.

There are a couple ways around this problem - amplifying Mawmense's damage with Sparks users, giving it Digithreat synergy to apply doom with Mentals, or equipping it with Refreshing Diabolo or Kaleidoscope and spamming Revitalize to heal its allies.

If you can take games long, want some Doom support, or just want a very tanky pivot with Digital STAB moves, give Mawmense a try.
