Do I spend 195 gems on him at level 54 or has he dropped off in late game thanks to charmless and other strong attackers?

I dont want to waste the gems on something I will only use for a few weeks and then replace.

Cheers.

Hi and welcome to forum

Sure it lost a lot of his power thanks to Farady and anticipation but he still can be useful esp at your level . it think you will not meet many farady soon

And 195 gems is the best price you can have for a monster.

Is this a trick question? He's still one of the best attackers in the game (that can be bought for gems). Yes, one very expensive monster counters him. So what?

@Frunobulax Keep in mind that Tijen has anticipation as well. Also now with Shocked blocking extra turns, Voltaik might be less useful.

Still mine has some of my best runes and I still use him every day for PVP at least.

@Kaiju Shocked and Shock are two different status effects (maybe SP should rename one of them). Shock is the one which blocks extra-turn skills and currently only two monsters have it (Talany and Toshiro), so it's not really a threat to VoltaiK right now.
And to answer the question, yes, VoltaiK is still useful.

Thanks for that! I can't keep up with the changes to the game.

Is there a list of all status effects somewhere? I did stumble upon one that wasn't explained (I think drowned), and I wasn't aware of what shocked exactly is.

Volt is still usable, team wars, battle grounds, dungeons, adventure map, sure he kind of lost his position on pvp long time ago but that's somehow natural, power creep will eventually happen to some monsters you just need to choose your oponents more carefully when running Volt.

Gosh, a 3rd Wiki? Thanks

@Kaiju still don't understand why did they give the same name to two different effects.
Like Yndra's Atomic Shock attack, which says "Deals heavy Special damage. May Shock target. Requires cooldown."
It's clearly not the new effect (because it's an older monster), but same name.

@Frunobulax not a 3rd wiki Fandom wiki is an old wiki, some players like @sansot picked up to made it up to date. All monsters are there and much more thanks to the hard work of several dedicated Ml players If you have time to help feel free
