Strategy

Taharus is a versatile support-type monster whose strength lies in his ability to cleanse harmful effects and provide defensive buffs, making him a valuable ally in debuff-heavy PvE scenarios. His third skill, Wind’s Protection, removes all harmful effects from allies and grants a two-turn Defense buff, which can be crucial in sustaining your team during challenging dungeon runs or Trial of Ascension stages. This skill becomes especially effective when skilled up, as the cooldown drops to just four turns, allowing frequent support utility.

His second skill, Crushing Winds, offers additional value by hitting all enemies and potentially removing one beneficial effect from each, making him helpful in clearing buffs from enemies in both PvE and some PvP situations. While his damage isn’t particularly high, his utility more than compensates for it. To maximize his performance, Taharus should be built with high Speed, HP, and Accuracy, allowing him to act quickly, cleanse often, and land his buff removal consistently. He fits well into early-game progression teams, especially those lacking strong cleansers, and can be a budget alternative to more premium support monsters.

Strength and Weakness

Strengths:

• Full-Team Cleanse: His third skill removes all harmful effects from allies, which is especially useful in debuff-heavy PvE stages.
• Defense Buff Support: Along with cleansing, he also provides a two-turn Defense buff, increasing overall team survivability.
• AoE Buff Removal: His second skill can strip one beneficial effect from all enemies, useful for disrupting enemy buffs.
• Easily Obtainable and Skilled Up: As a 2★ monster, he’s easy to summon, farm, and skill up using duplicates.
• Fast Base Speed (107): Allows him to cycle his skills more often, making him a reliable support in speed-tuned teams.

Weaknesses:

• Low Base Stats: Despite utility, he is quite fragile and can be quickly taken down without strong rune investment.
• Limited Late-Game Use: Falls off in higher-tier PvP and late-game PvE, where stronger and more versatile support monsters are preferred.
• No Healing Ability: While he supports with cleanse and buffs, he lacks any healing skill, which can limit his role in sustained fights.
• Support-Only Role: His damage output is low, and he does not scale well offensively, meaning he’s limited strictly to utility roles.

Synergy

Taharus synergizes best with teams that are vulnerable to debuffs or rely on maintaining defensive uptime. His cleanse and defense buff allow him to support both fragile damage dealers and sustain-heavy comps, making him flexible in early PvE team building.

• Belladeon (Light Inugami) – Combines well with Taharus by providing heals and defense breaks. While Belladeon handles sustain and debuffing enemies, Taharus cleanses and buffs the team defensively.
• Veromos (Dark Ifrit) – A fellow cleanser and passive debuff remover. Paired with Taharus, they can form a reliable anti-debuff core for Trial of Ascension or dungeon stages.
• Shannon (Wind Pixie) – Enhances Taharus’s team utility with attack and defense buffs, while Taharus contributes with cleansing and additional defense. Together they form a strong early support combo.
• Raoq (Fire Inugami) – As a single-target nuker, Raoq benefits from Taharus’s defense buff and support, giving him better survivability and more turns through chaining.
• Bernard (Wind Griffon) – Speeds up the entire team, allowing Taharus to cycle his skills more often. Bernard also helps with breaking defense and manipulating turn order.

Taharus performs best when paired with monsters that need protection from crowd control, debuffs, or AoE damage. His skill set enables other units to stay alive longer and function at their peak during battles.
