Overview

Mushook is a very flexible offensive support Tem in part due to the large pool of support techniques available to it. It can be fit into a variety of teams to support them in whatever way they need while also being very capable of applying offensive pressure on its own. With exceptional physical bulk provided by the Parrier trait, Mushook also makes one of the best pivots in the game when it comes to physical attacks. It is often struggles to decide on what its last moveslot should be, thanks to the many excellent options it has.

Thanks to Mushook's insane typing, top tier trait in Parrier, and nice natural bulk allow Mushook to function as one of the strongest pivots in the game. This set is focused on a pseudo support style build, with Mushook being built to tank hits, support physical teams with Perfect Jab spamming and Cage.

The slight attack investment allows you to 2HKO max hp Vulffy with Uppercut, although this can be tweaked lower if you want an ultra supportive style Parrier build, as this build is mostly just about spamming Perfect Jabs.

If you run this Temtem with other physical attackers, you usually want speed investment so that Mushook will always be able to Perfect Jab first. 

Good slingshot user if you have the gear free, mushook can easily proc via perfect jab and its longevity helps it become an absolute wall to deal with

Mushook is a prime defensive wall that has seen a substantial set of nerfs through 0.9.4, with Perfect Jab and Parrier both seeing some reduction in effecitveness. Regardless, Mushook can still wall out threats well, and swith a Sweatband it's still a great source of Perfect Jabs that greatly assist physical teams.

Perfect Jab, Uppercut and Wastewater reside on many Parrier Mushook sets. Mushook has a pretty respectible base attack stat, and Uppercut and Wastewater can deal big damage to 2x targets, especially after a Pjab to soften them up. Toxic teams can opt to drop Wastewater or Cage for Urushiol. Mushook's fourth move is fairly open - Cage can help secure KOs, Turbo Choreograhpy is really nice for wind teams, Block hard-walls opposing non-2x hitting physicals, Intimidation controls stamina, and Confiscate can negate a gear at a vital moment.

Hard-hitting physical attackers love Perfect Jabbers - Venx, Chimurian, Venmet, Rhoulder, Turoc, Yowlar, the list goes on.
