# Update ## Notes: We recently had an update to version 2.13 [which you can see here](https://www.neomonstersforum.com/t/kds-version-update-history/22172/5). This post will cover the movement with regards to these changes. There were A LOT of changes in this update. Most of the changes have not made monsters move in the tier list so I’ve noted them here. This is not comprehensive, but notes most of the changes. **Bastia** got its damage removed and OP disruption SS removed, heavily nerfing it. However, the healing and field passive are still ridiculously strong which makes it remain among the best monsters in the game. It’s no longer an instant win for you when it gets a turn, but still incredibly powerful. **XYZ-999L** got a larger defence buff and the second form got the proper defence buff. Ultimately this made a larger impact to the second form where the move became usable. **Excaliburdragon** got the solo restriction removed from healing light, very nice but no major change to usage (not OP with the Aegis or anything). **Canishogun** had its underdog and AoE uses heavily nerfed, but it still holds up strongly for general use so is not moving in the tier list. **Celestrion / Cybereon / Nightlord** got type killer moves added, but these do not have widespread enough targets yet for these to warrant a tier change. **Shurikaizer** got poison immunity, which greatly helps to stop it getting countered. **Ziberius** got blizzard all and single stun revenge, which both look very interesting but we’ll have to see if they make an impact to this monster’s use. **Dusicyon** got altered so it now has no real damage potential when used with protectors, but it has many more uses. **Omegasdragon / Tiamazus (s)** unlike the other auto-poisoners these are not moving. While the extra damage option is good, I think these are generally held back by the rest of the moveset so I’m making them equal with Tiamazus and then Flarevern is the standout. In general this update did a few things: - Killed the Cani AoE FL - Nerfed Dusicyon AP spam (less damage output) - Greatly improved AP spam counters (true hit got a big TU reduction, added to more monsters) - Greatly improved sleep/OoO counters The latter might not be obvious straight away so I’d like to point out where I’m getting this from. There’s A LOT of stuff added to counter sleep… - Terrordragon got sleep immunity (it has poison gas). - Abyssraider got sleep immunity (it has poison gas). - Cyclozar got insomnia (it has sleep killer). - Bazilogon got insomnia. - Terragar got insomnia (it can now purify + heal teammates). - Metatherion got nightwatch (it has insomnia). - Vulcaroth has a 50% chance to poison each monster on entrance (wakes up sleeping teammates). - Chimeraxus deals tiny damage to all monsters on entrance (wakes up all sleeping teammates). - Celestrion got ascension all (wakes up sleeping teammates). - Cybereon got poison all revenge (wakes up sleeping teammates). - Poison burst got a damage increase, buffing poison gas in general and a number of monsters which are counters to sleep. ## Movements: These are all with respect to the changes in version 2.13. **Flarevern** moves from **C → B in general** and **A → S- in PvP** , now having two very good damage options on top of the powerful passives has turned this into a serious PvP monster that we’re bound to see a lot. **Tiamazus** moves from **E → D in general** and **E → C in PvP** , true hit has made this a lot more viable for damage so now it’s not a one hit wonder with swift catapult. It’s on par with Omegasdragon I’d say. **Warca** moves from **A → S- in general** and **F → B in PvP** , stun converter and HG are an enormous buff for this monster but it still struggles to get kills in PvP. It’ll be interesting to see people try to use this well, probably in a link water team. **Raizen** moves from **A → S- in general** and **S- → S+ in PvP** , with chrono monsters being so dominant in the PvP meta and no sign that this will change anytime soon the buff to time’s up is enormous along with the fact it offers stun control and insomnia on a very solid body. **Metatherion** moves from **D → C in PvP** , nightwatch turns it into a great sleep counter but the low speed still really holds it back and the low attack means nightwatch is not as good as it looks. **Skeleviathan** moves from **D → C in general** and **D → C in PvP**. **Heavenswyrm** moves from **A → S- in general** and **B → A in PvP** , stun wave is a lovely upgrade and healing revenge is surprisingly good. **Terrordragon** moves from **B → A in PvP** , poison burst damage increase has made this much more versatile. **Baublebasher** moves from **S- → S in PvP** , gaia power is relatively easy to build around with the selection of good plant monsters in earth and it becomes exceptionally strong with those. **Kaerukenshi** moves from **S → S- in PvP** , with its give turn loop removed the combo potential is limited. **Chimeraxus** moves from **B → A in general** and **B → A in PvP** , stun immunity sweeping is nice but it’s still slow, low defence and link conditional. **Nighthunter** moves from **D → B in general**. **Freezecobra** moves from **S+ → S in general** and **S+ → S in PvP** , without an easy one-shot on its first turn this monster is no longer top tier. Poison burst is very high damage and it’s still a great stun absorber. --- _[View the full topic](https://www.neomonstersforum.com/t/tier-list-change-log/61588)._
