Joker+A. Blossom

I see what you did there haha

Probably because if you assume an even distribution of the skills he can use, he only has a 1 in 10 chance of using Ultra Gravity. I don't think there is an even spread.
On top of that:
Two of the skills are pretty useless (Heat breath-7,074 at level 99 with +99 on ATK and Earth Ball-3,000 flat damage).
Hell Ball is ok but somewhat situational (20k damage and a dark orb conversion).
Four are very team dependent (The Seven-Star Formations all depend on you actually using the orbs you're given and with Southern you won't have any dark which is the most likely orb you need in the usual team Joker would be on).
Orb Refresh, if rolled is simply another luck roll so it's basically hit or miss.
CTW is fine but if you're not ready and/or needed a different board anyway then it becomes a waste
Ultra Gravity is the best one but even that depends a lot on getting it fairly early in the boss fight. Otherwise you've either killed the boss or died.

So his skill requires you to plan around it failing in which case, why bother having him?


His awakenings aren't horrible but are nothing special.

His leader skill is pretty much for use in very early game dungeons or bottom level weekly dungeons for quick farming. You might as well find someone with Awoken Hinokagutsuchi for that since at the minimum level someone can have Awoken Hinokagutsuchi (level 19-12,105 damage) he already does more damage with his leader skill than Joker does at max level and 99 +ATK (11,790).

His stats are pretty good so he's a decent stat stick but given the relative difficulty of the dungeon he drops from you would more likely than not have better monsters to use.

Because it adds a little fun to the game. Why so serious?

Oh yeah?
Let me show you a team that is flawless!!
-Any leader that powers up Dark Att. or gives a multiplier when several orb types are matched
-Joker
-Joker
-Joker
-Joker

no. its the same as hino and echidna.

Not actually helpful, but fun to use for completely brainless runs of early dungeons and the bottom tier daily dungeons.

But in a way, it does lol. Your answer is in your post; he's not used for any meaningful dungeons, even after being out for a year in a half. I've fed him away each time I've gotten him, since he's worthless unfortunately lol.

it should be back in few days. =p

If his skill had a *way* lower cooldown time (like three turns) then he'd be worth having just for giggles. As it is, you wait ten turns and activate and ...

Heat Breath: Inflict Fire damage equal to ATK x3 to all enemies. Affected by enemy element and defense.

Or even Change the World or Orb Refresh or pretty much anything, because a ten-turn cooldown is just too much for a random skill.

To your point, while you may get a troll activation at 10 turns, Change the World and Ultra Gravity would be at a lower cool-down than normal.

I don't mean to defend him, just suggesting that he could have uses if you got creative or had limited options.

he comes from Shinra Bansho series. the chocolate wafer with trading cards in japan. he looks like Natsu so much.

So I wasn't the only one...
