Overview

Nidrasil is largely defined by its Tri-Apothecary trait.It deals deceptively large amounts of damage via Poison ticks applied by special attacks, or can apply regeneration to allies with side-targeted Spores. Nidrasil can also offer some direct offensive presence with Toxic Ink, Depress, and Narcoleptic Hit.

(1.3 DUKE'S NOTES - MINOR NERFS HERE TO NIDRASIL - TRI-PHYTOLOGIST ISN'T GREAT BUT CAN BE PLAYED WITH NOX BOMB HANDCUFFS TO SET UP FOR BIG LATE TORMENTS, OR JUST PLAYED NORMALLY TO SET UP GREAT BULLY TURNS. WHAT'S THAT? TOXIC INK PROBABLY DOES THAT BETTER FOR BULLY? QUIET YOU)

The removal of Depress from Nidrasil's movepool makes it once again a poor matchup into its fellow toxic tems, but it still serves a unique role as a cleric due to its Tri-Apothecary trait. Nid can serve a variety of roles and do many unique things, and is a good fit on slower-paced teams.

Toxic Ink and Spores are very common slots on Nidrasil, who prefers to deal damage through Poison ticks, and heal its allies with Regeneation ticks. Spores can be a very efficient means of dealing true damage, invaluable late into games as stamina gets low. Nidrasil also learns and is a good user of Narcoleptic Hit, used to catch neutrals and melees for high damage that is difficult to swap in a resist to. Energy Drink is run to stop this from sleeping Nid for the following turn. Bark Shield helps Nid contribute to long-term game plans along with the heal from Spores. Allergic Spread is not mentioned here - it's a high stamina cost move but offensively applies Tri-Apothecary to both targets, very useful into teams without many toxics or immunity generators (currently a little rare.)

Nidrasil fits right in on high-toxic cores, helping their gameplan of spreading Poison ticks. It can also simply buff up valuable tems like Tulcan and Yowlar, and heal them with Spores.
