Dark Flowerpiller Review

Many agree that Dark Flowerpiller is currently the best Nature Miscrit available. As you can see from the stats below, it's a great elemental nuker with no weak stats. Since it's a "Dark", it gets slightly more powerful attacks than a normal Flowerpiller. The max speed helps him get the jump on other Miscrits. I have often used it to defeat Water Miscrits with low elemental defense before they can even move. I would strongly recommend Dark Flowerpiller for any team.

Rating
***** / Excellent

Location
Dark Flowerpiller appears in the flower patch to the east of the Magic Flower on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. It is rare and may take several trips to find. It can also be acquired as a reward from the Miscrit Collector in quest 17, as described here: Miscrit Collector Guide

It was also given as a Battle Arena reward, and occasionally appears in the Gem Shop.

    1. trust me dark flowerpiller is amazing but my fave is ignos u should get him and snorkels is amazing azwell

      Delete
  2. It depends on the level, but I would add one of the strong Earth Miscrits as your fourth. Drilldent, Fossillia, Eggy, or Digsy would all work at level 30.

    ReplyDelete
  3. I got Digsy already in there, but i mean can you chose anyone from the list

    ReplyDelete
  4. Oh my team is level 30 Leggy Thundercracker and Digsy

    ReplyDelete
  5. Ah, okay. I would go with Blazebit if you get one with good stats.

    ReplyDelete
  6. People have said this: final skills, Dark Bugs, Venom, Photosynth, and Toxic, as the Venom+Toxic combo. Also the skill is actually named Photosynth, not Photosynthesis, by the way. :p

    ReplyDelete
  7. I always assumed the name was just too long so they cut it off lol. But I changed it to Photosynth to be consistent. The Venom and Toxic combo is really good, and DFP is a good Miscrit to take a fifth skill with. I added Toxic in to the list of recommended skills to reflect that. I would still suggest taking Confuse though; using Venom, Toxic, and Confuse in combination can be devastating.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Hey, what's the difference between DFP and Flowerpiller? The last time I looked, the stats were both the same: Mod, Max, Mod, Mod, Mod, Max. Besides the move AP and names, is there any difference?

    ReplyDelete
  9. The only differences are the two skill APs, two skill names, and one skill difference. DFP learns Toxic at level 13, where Flowerpiller learns Tangle (completely useless, exactly the same as Sting).

    It isn't an overwhelming difference, but it can give you a boost. At level 10, Dark Sting does 10% more damage than Sting. At 30, Dark Bugs does 8% more damage than Bug Out. A lot of people really like using the Toxic + Venom combo too (as noted above).

    ReplyDelete
  10. is grubbean better or dark flowerpiller

    ReplyDelete
  11. It depends on what you plan on using them for; they both have very different strengths. Overall, I think Dark Flowerpiller is a little more powerful.

    ReplyDelete
  12. hey
    here is my team:
    (level 25 team)
    Flue
    cubsprout
    Hydroseal
    polergust

    can you suggest me a few changes that i can make in my team?? plzzz

    ReplyDelete
  13. Replace the Cubsprout first. DFP would be a great replacement. The Hydroseal should go next. Snorkels is a similar (but better) Miscrit if you have access to one. Flue and Poltergust are both solid Miscrits, but you may want to replace them in the future if you're going for a really powerful team.

    thx man!
    hey add me on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/faiz.prince1
    i have a level 13 team too, tell me if its good (i think my level 13 team is much better than the first one!!)
    Here it is:
    Dark flowerpiller/coleaf
    Hotfoot
    Echino
    Mun kee

    ReplyDelete
  15. Hi Chris, could rate my DFP? It is at level 10.

    HP: 33
    EA: 27
    ED: 22
    PA: 17
    PD: 18
    SD: 27

    ReplyDelete
  16. That's a pretty solid team. The Hotfoot is the weakest point, but it's a pretty decent Miscrit at level 13. I'd give the team an 8.5/10.

    That's a pretty average DFP. 5/10

    ReplyDelete
  17. average....thanks btw

    ReplyDelete
  18. wat about dark flowerpiller lvl30 skills be dark bugs, toxic, venom, photosynth i hate skills such as confuse sleep and deep sleep because they are very risky and if they dont work your miscrit is toast

    ReplyDelete
  19. Btw, this is my level 13 team:

    DFP, hippoke, DP, luna
    can u rate my team?

    ReplyDelete
  20. That skill set will work just fine. I don't use Sleep or Confuse that often either.

    Wang Di: That's a pretty good team for level 13, but I wouldn't recommend taking Luna any higher. 8.5/10

    ReplyDelete
  21. hey
    can you rate my level 13 DFP please
    HP:40
    EA:36
    ED:28

    ReplyDelete
  22. can anyone rate my team...
    my team are(lvl22)

    dark flowerpiller
    pranwnja
    flue

    and i havent got my 3rd miscrit yet any suggestions??

    ReplyDelete
  23. Well i would go with an Earth miscrit as your fourth. Personally i like fossilia or drilldent.

    ReplyDelete
  24. That's a pretty good DFP. Good ED. 9/10.

    Your team is decent. It's hard to rate a 3 Miscrit team though. I guess I'd give it an 8/10 for now. An Earth Miscrit is always good to add, or you could consider a Wind Miscrit like Mun Kee, Leggy, or Flutterpat. It would give you a bit more balance since you already have 2 PA Miscrits.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Hi Chris. Can you rate my teams? (Lv25)
    Team 1
    DFP
    DF
    DP
    Fossilia
    Team 2
    Ignios
    Digsy
    Mun Kee
    Grubbean

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Team 1: All great Miscrits, but the team is very Physical heavy. 9/10

    Team 2: Great team, very good balance. 9.5/10

    Those are both really good teams! You made some great choices for Miscrits. :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Thanks! Should i switch any miscrits to the other team?

    ReplyDelete
  28. You could switch Fossillia and Digsy so that you have someone with good ED on Team 1. I wouldn't switch anything else though, it would mess up the balance of Team 2.

    ReplyDelete
  29. by the way why do u not recommend to take luna higher? i'm plannind to train it to level 30. i would like to hear your advice

    ReplyDelete
  30. Luna is good at level 10, and a few other levels, but it's pretty bad at 30. It doesn't learn a 25 AP attack, instead it learns a Health drain. It isn't very powerful, but it heals for the damage it does. You can do some interesting things with it in long fights with lots of potions, but for the most part it just makes Luna a weak attacker with a gimmick.

    ReplyDelete
  31. oh....then what should u think that could fit into this team? Blazebit, grubbean, leggy and ___________ what miscrit do u recommend that are earth or lightning type other than fossilia and thundercracker?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Digsy would fit well into that team. It would mean all of your Miscrits have fairly balanced defenses (assuming the Blazebit is decent). You could also go with Drilldent or Eggy. I don't really care for many Lightning Miscrits, but if you want to go with one I would have to recommend Jellyshock.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oh.... I was also thinking of a digsy as the cool thing is that it had strong defences. I will consider the miscrits u advised me to have in my team other than jellyshock :P . Btw to get digsy do u need to defeat the first or second mini boss of sunfall shores?

    ReplyDelete
  34. I think you may be able to get in the area right before you beat the second trainer, but generally I see Digsy inside the rocky area that leads to the treasure chest. Check around the borders of that area though and you may be able to find one.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I say Grubbean is as good as DFP. My Grubb kills DFP in two shots of Destruction. DFP needs three shots of Dark Bugs.

    ReplyDelete
  36. mun kee or dark flowerpiller?
    my current team is:
    Blazebit (both max attack stats and strong defences!!)
    Fossilia
    dark pranja
    dark flowerpiller/mun kee

    ReplyDelete
  37. Mun Kee is a little better than DFP if the random stats turn out good.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Both would fit into your team well.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I currently have a mun kee and a dfp, what will make my team the best?

    ReplyDelete
  40. i have a level 18 Dark flowerpilar..these are the stats..

    Elemental Defense 38
    Physical Attack 34
    Physical Defense 31
    Speed 49
    Is it okay atleast?

    ReplyDelete
  41. Anon1: That depends on your team, but Mun Kee is a little better than DFP overall.

    Anon2: That’s really good Health for a DFP. Everything else is looking solid.

    I also have a level 30 flutterpat.. What do you think of my main team? Or would you recommend changes?

    ReplyDelete
  49. It still has good Health. EA and Speed both look good, and ED is great. That's a pretty awesome DFP!

    That looks like a really good team. I would probably experiment with changing out TC and Flutterpat to see which one you have more success with. If you decide to level a Fire Miscrit, DF would be a great fit for that spot too.
