Ficus petiolaris
The rock fig is a native-only North American broadleaf-tree card, a low-attack but self-healing wall that wins by attrition.
The rock fig is a broadleaf-tree card. It is native to eastern and western North America and invasive nowhere, so it only ever plays the native wall role — there is no attacker version. Like other canopy trees it is built on bulk and rising armor; see categories.
Its opening attack is Raysteal, unlocked at level 1 for 2 Sun, dealing 30 and healing the card 10% as it strikes. Its free once-per-battle ability, Old-Growth Reaction, unlocks at level 25, costs no Sun and deals no damage — it stalls the foe and withers it. The advanced attack Heartwood unlocks at level 40 for 6 Sun, dealing 30 and healing the card 20% as it hits. No move carries an initiative rider. See moves.
This card keeps two always-on traits. Tannin-load arrives on the level 10 riser and is a contact retaliation: whenever an attacker lands a damaging hit on the fig, its astringent tannins Wither that attacker, dropping its ATK by two stacks. Canopy-gap stacks on at level 68 and makes it immune to bench-reaching damage — a splash or spread blow aimed at a neighbour cannot carry onto it. Both are passive, in force from the moment they unlock and lasting the whole match. For most of a card's climb it holds only tannin-load. See abilities.
As a broadleaf-tree it is a canopy-tree card: benched behind your active, it backs that plant with a gold Sun overshield bar (see Stats). It is not a climber and takes no Moss Pole. A calcium/magnesium soil amendment suits a wall build; phosphorus fertilizer matches its edible fruit for coins (see Gameplay uses). See field gear.
At the snapshot level 40 it carries 103 HP and DEF of 19, with a retreat cost of 16 Sun. Its ATK is low for a tree at 19 — the weakest attacker in its region — so it leans on healing and armor rather than damage. Its tempo is back-loaded: initiative of 20 is low, so it is a slow opener, while its SPD of 34 gives a steadier sustained tempo. As a native it gains the +15% HP cushion and, while benched, projects an HP overshield onto your active. Being invasive nowhere, it has no attacker stat line. See stats.
Matured to level 100 it hardens into a wall: DEF climbs to 41 and native HP to 190, while the retreat cost rises to 33 Sun. The inverted tempo has fallen to roughly its 1% floor, so it moves last in the mature game. Leveling deepens its durability, which suits its grind-it-out style, while its damage stays modest.
As a broadleaf-tree it is a Competitor. It deals ×1.5 to Ruderal cards (annual forbs, grasses, aquatics, bulbs) and takes ×1.5 from Specialists (succulents, conifers, ferns, epiphytes), whose armor also resists its hits down to ×0.667. It trades evenly with other Competitors and the neutral Weird group. See weaknesses & resistances.
This is an attrition wall: both of its attacks heal it as they land, so it can outlast foes over a long fight, and its ability stalls and withers to buy that time. The weakness is damage — its ATK is the lowest in its region, so it rarely bursts anything down and instead wins by armor and sustain. It has no attacker build. Its fruit is edible: feed it phosphorus fertilizer for a ×1.25 coin bonus, or any other nutrient for ×1.25 XP, making it a reliable coin earner even when it is not winning fights. As a bulk-rich tree its power outweighs its tempo from a low level — around level 14 — so leveling only reinforces its tank role.
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.
