User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Viper Tobi-Kadachi/@comment-25119729-20200119213741

Viper Tobi-Kadachi is a solid sub on paper. The colour scheme is nice, and the idea of it having to ailments is a cool concept. But since normal Tobi is a beginner monster, Viper Tobi has to fall into the same niche of being a beginners monster.

At first, the mixture of paralyzing bites and poison tail attacks can screw you over really bad, especially since most of its attacks have a delay, meaning you get caught more often than not if you expect the hits to come out instantly. Once you learn this however, the fight becomes an utter joke. Sadly for Viper Tobi, the dual ailments are all it gets combat wise. Normal Tobi gets the super charge, which not only hurts like hell in the beginning, it can also do this outside of rage mode. Viper Tobi only gets the standard speed and damage buff. No new attacks it throws out or a difference in startegy.

Couple this with the fact that its armor can decide which ailment it wants to endorse and you have a mon that while nice to look at, you probably only fight once or twice and then forget about. Unless you wanna cosplay as a soviet office, then the armor might be for you.
