Albizia lebbeck
A widely invasive broadleaf-tree legume with a fast, hard-hitting attacker form, native to South Asia and invasive across seven regions.
Woman's Tongue is a broadleaf-tree and a Competitor. It is native to South Asia but invasive across Africa, East Asia, Europe, eastern and western North America, Oceania and South America — one of the most widely established invaders here. That huge introduced range makes its attacker form genuinely dangerous, hitting far harder than its native self.
It opens with Branch Slam at level 1 for 2 Sun, dealing 33 native / 38 invasive — note how much harder it hits invasive. At level 25 it gains Nurse Log — The fallen feed the next: heal 25%, even the bench, and call back the lost.. Its advanced attack, Leaf Me Tree, unlocks at level 40 for 6 Sun and lands 31 / 36. No move carries an initiative rider.
It keeps two canopy traits. Network arrives at level 10: benched, it feeds a gold Sun overshield bar to your active regardless of nativity. Mycorrhiza stacks on at level 68, a bench-heal that triggers about 60% of the time. It supports a team from the bench and threatens from the front.
A tree, so naturally armored. No thorns, no toxin trait, not a climber — no Moss Pole. A calcium/magnesium amendment raises its DEF further; for the attacker role its high ATK is already the draw.
At level 40 it reads 103 / 89 HP, 21 / 35 ATK — a wide native-to-invasive gap — and a firm 24 DEF. Unusually for a tree, both tempo stats are high: opening 38, sustained 48, so it is fast off the mark and stays fast. Native it carries a 15% HP cushion and a bench overshield; invasive it hits hard, pays Faustian self-damage each attack, and concedes 2 prizes on a knockout. Retreat costs 13 Sun.
By level 100 DEF reaches 56 on its wood density, HP climbs to 190 / 165, and ATK to 37 / 73 — the invasive attack cap is where its wide range really shows. Retreat rises to 25 Sun and even its unusually high tempo has eased toward the floor. It matures into a fast, hard-hitting, well-armored attacker with few soft spots besides poison.
As a Competitor it deals 1.5× to Ruderals and takes 1.5× from Specialists (succulent, conifer, fern, epiphyte), resisting Ruderal hits at 0.667×; Weird is neutral. Poison is its main threat, since it ignores DEF.
This is one of the better attackers in this set: play it invasive to hit hard while staying quick and durable, or native as a bench support stacking overshields. As a legume (Fabaceae), one in four wild catches arrives with the Nitrogen amendment applied — a free economy head start that occupies a soil slot and decomposes after about a month. Inedible, so fertilizer banks ×1.25 XP. With its large bulk it is power-favoured from a low level (about 26 native, 27 invasive); level it freely.
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.
