Aeonium tabulaeforme
A neutral-range succulent with no nativity bonus in the arena.
Aeonium tabulaeforme is a succulent in Supplant. It carries no recorded native or invasive range, so the arena never grants it a nativity bonus: it always fights as a plain neutral card, with neither the native HP cushion nor the invasive attacker's edge.
Its kit fills in across three slots, and most of your copies will be well below the snapshot level of 40 where all three are live — the plant unlocks them as it grows. Dryground is the starter attack, available from level 1 for 2 Sun. The free once-per-battle ability, Succulent Stalemate, unlocks at level 25: Outlasts anything — the foe is held fast and can't heal. The advanced attack, Glochid Storm, comes online at level 40 for 6 Sun — A storm of barbed glochids — three hits.
Its attacks land for about 27 (starter) and 51 (advanced) at the snapshot level — plain base numbers, since no nativity bonus applies.
Turn order splits across two stats: initiative (42) decides who moves first on turn 1, and SPD (21) decides every turn after. This one is the quicker starter — it tends to land the opening blow on turn 1, then cede the pace as the fight wears on. See turn order for how the two interact.
It has a single eligible passive, Photosynthesis, which arrives at half strength on its level 10 riser and matures at level 68 — a real difference for most of the card's life.
Photosynthesis. A 60% chance to heal itself in sunny weather — reliable-ish grind, but weather-dependent and never guaranteed.
For field gear, a Calcium/Magnesium amendment adds flat DEF (most worthwhile on a bulky front-liner, least on a soft body), and the N/P/K fertilizers drive its economy (see Gameplay uses). This species is not Moss-Pole-eligible: that gear is keyed on a climbing growth habit (vine, epiphyte or hemiepiphyte), and its species record carries no growth-habit tag.
At the snapshot level (40) it reads roughly HP 89 (its plain, un-cushioned base), DEF 2, with a retreat cost of 16 Sun and tempo pips of 42 initiative / 21 SPD. Its DEF sits at the succulent floor: this is a high-HP, thin-plate card, and poison or a big attacker cuts straight through. With no nativity bonus its HP and ATK sit at base — no native cushion, no invasive ATK ramp — so it is a middle-of-the-road body on every stat. Sun refills at +1 every 15 minutes up to a cap of 120; an empty bar attack-locks the plant. From level 52 it regenerates Sun mid-battle, and a level 85 capstone drops its starter to free. See stats.
Classic succulent divergence: HP balloons toward 165 while DEF stays near the floor (3). Huge, and still soft. Retreat rises to 33 Sun (an older plant is more rooted and costlier to pull), and the inverted tempo has sunk to its floor by now — the fast opening it had as a seedling is gone, so a mature copy leans entirely on power rather than turn order.
In the succession wheel it is a Specialist. It hits Competitor plants (perennial herbs, vines, shrubs and broadleaf trees) for extra damage (×1.5), and takes extra damage from Ruderal plants (annual forbs, grasses, aquatics and bulbs). Against its own group and the off-wheel "Weird" categories it is neutral. See the type chart.
With no nativity role it is a straightforward neutral body — no cushion to lean on, no attacker's edge to exploit. All water and no armor: big HP but near-zero DEF. Its 60% heals let it grind out attrition, yet poison and heavy hitters cut straight through its thin plating. A slow attrition card, not a bruiser. It is inedible in the game's economy, so any fertilizer you feed it banks ×1.25 XP rather than coins — useful as level fodder, not as a coin source. In the Total power gallery below you can watch it trade a fast-skirmisher opening for raw bulk as it levels: it leans on speed until about level 27, after which its power takes over. It is monotonically stronger the higher it goes, so there is never a reason to hold it back.
Leveling trades speed for power. A plant’s tempo (SPD + INI, the turn-order edge) fades as it grows, while its power (HP + ATK + DEF, net of the rising Sun cost to retreat) climbs. The crossover is the level where power overtakes tempo: below it the plant is a fast skirmisher, above it a heavyweight. Shown for each stance this plant can actually hold — native adds a HP cushion, invasive an attack edge, neutral neither — with the card at its crossover and fully grown at Lv 100.
