Giant skunks thrive in places where their larger size and more potent musk allow them to fend off predators their smaller cousins can't. With larger bodies come more powerful appetites, and giant skunks tend to be aggressive and territorial. With their distinctive black bodies and white stripes or spots, skunks are instantly recognizable to most creatures. Those who catch a full blast of musk rarely decide to trouble a skunk again, as the revolting stench can linger for hours or even days. Remo

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLANDA tougher frontline body draws the bulk of retaliation while this beast lines up its blinding cone on grouped enemies.
SniperLANDRanged attackers keep dealing damage safely while enemies are sickened and reeling from the musk.
FlankerLANDA mobile striker finishes off anyone left sickened and Off-Guard from the blinding spray.

PUNISHES

✖ clumping✖ melee reliance✖ low Fortitude
Avoid pairing with another cone-based controller; overlapping areas waste the value of stacking the same debuff.
