That life drain attack is just ridiculous with max skill level and high attack numbers.

Also, if only Ionocidium didn't have that utterly derpy animation....

That's my point Taon, she often the last to die, and quite a few rounds later the rest of the squad usually as she is life sucking with big hits when her skill is activated.

Imagine her surviving all those rounds whilst also returning 3.75 x her Defence in damage for all the hits she takes during those rounds?
