Lonicera japonica
A shrub Competitor with no passive — it wins on raw stats, a durable native wall or a hard invasive hitter.
Japanese Honeysuckle is a shrub card. Native to East Asia, it plays a buffer; across the eastern United States, where it smothers understory, it plays an attacker. See nativity.
Shrub kit: level-1 starter, level-10 free ability, level-18 advanced attack, with no damage cap. Native moves deal baseline power; invasive moves hit around 1.75× harder.
Shrubs have no always-on passive — the card's lure is inert and does nothing in battle. It lives and dies on its stats and moves. See abilities.
No innate keyword; apply poison-rider/thorns-recoil only if the infobox flags them. With a middling 20-Sun retreat it is not a card you swap freely, so field gear that reinforces its committed role helps — defensive as native, offensive as invasive.
Good HP and level-scaling Def, moderate Sun, and a 20-Sun retreat that discourages repositioning. Native → HP ×1.15 cushion plus bench HP overshield; invasive → ATK spike with Faustian bench self-damage each damaging attack.
Shrub → Competitor group: ×1.5 into Ruderal (annual-forb, grass, aquatic, bulb); ×0.667 into Specialist (succulent, conifer, fern, epiphyte).
With no passive to lean on, this is a stat-check card: pleasantly durable as a native wall, and a straightforward heavy hitter as an invasive. The 20-Sun retreat means you should commit it on purpose, and its KO surrenders a bounty. Reliable for PvE coin runs, but it needs a bench to cover retreats and Faustian chip.
