Synopsis
Invidia has to be one of the saddest monsters the game has ever made. I mean besides is honestly depressing description of his life, he also isn't a good epic monster unless ranked. Which for me I've got him to rank 5 already, and still don't use him as much as my other rank 5 epics. Due to him being very lacking skill wise. However the biggest problem I have with him is that his skill set isn't fitting on a monster on Envy at all. While the other deadly sin monsters have skill sets that fit their sin, Invidia doesn't have that distinction. So here's my thoughts on how to improve him. In case this somehow gets anywhere at all.
Stats
Invidia has some of the best stats for an epic monster. Having a power of 2,780, a life of 22,258, and finally a speed of 2,850. Even though these stats are good I feel like they don't fit his design at all. He seems like he'd be a really strong attacker with a low speed stat. I feel like his power should instead be 2,850, and his speed instead be 2,600. This would make him hit alot harder, but he'd be kinda slow meaning it would balance it out.
Trait
Invidia is Immune to being Poisoned which does make sense for a monster of Envy, but I feel like another trait could possibly work. The trait Abomination due to him thinking of himself as ugly, and worthless. However this is an optional change compared to the rest of them.
Skills
This is where Invidia doesn't work at all. His skills as stated earlier really stink, and this is considering Epic monsters at that time. Plus I feel like it would nice if his skills had more of a connection to his brother Vanitus. This will also be the first time I would like skills to be renamed like how y'all did with the Undertaker.

This would fit with a monster of Envy alot better. Due to having the ability to remove positive effects, and be good at dealing damage. Plus with the improved "False Mirror", and "Green With Envy" this would give him some more connections to his brother Vanitus.
