Strategy

Penny’s interest in mortality is portrayed in her team lineup, plus their use of Ritual and Haunt. Ritual grants the user a one-time revival to 25% health, while Haunt applies Ghostly status, blocking direct-damage moves for 3 turns before KO’ing the user. Her allied Sanzatime can extend the Ghostly effect by using Dog Years.

Rematch

Penny’s tapes have all reached their final forms, keeping with the Haunt/Ritual/Dog Years tactic. Her new addition is Ramtasm,who gains evasion as its HP drops with Shear Luck and will refrain from using Haunt if Fortiwinx is not present.

Trivia

Name Origin and Design

I was bloody fascinated with it!" - Captain Penny Dreadful when the player first meets her
