If you scored high enough in the Envy category during the tutorial quiz or at some point during the story, you will receive the Fiend of Envy. Envy is a bit of an odd duck compared to other fiends — able to dole out significant damage to status’d enemies, but only able to inflict one status. If you’re wondering how to use this unit properly, you’ll want to take a look at all of the abilities for the Fiend of Envy in Monark.

Envy, at first glance, appears to take the most advantage of status ailments — however, statuses are rare to inflict and can make Envy feel a little weak in the early and mid-game. Envy’s true power shines in being a pseudo-tank and debuffer with Universal Decay and Transfer Pain. Transfer Pain can redirect damage to the attacker and is extremely useful against bosses, while Universal Decay can make any enemy a lot softer, at the expense of Envy’s stats.
