Spathiphyllum floribundum
A native-only carrion aroid that plays as a defensive buffer.
The Peace lily is a carrion aroid in Supplant. It is native to South America and is recorded as invasive nowhere, so it plays purely as a defensive buffer: a card that shores up your team rather than an attacker.
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. Rhizome Creep is the starter attack, available from level 1 for 2 Sun. The free once-per-battle ability, Perennating Bud, unlocks at level 25: Breaks a stored bud: heal 40%. The advanced attack, Alkaloid Ambush, comes online at level 40 for 6 Sun — Poisons before the foe can react.
Its attacks land for about 27 (starter) and 22 (advanced) at the snapshot level.
Turn order splits across two stats: initiative (36) decides who moves first on turn 1, and SPD (36) decides every turn after. The two are close on this card, so it neither dominates nor loses the tempo battle outright. See turn order for how the two interact.
Peace lily holds a working trait on each riser. Raphide Bundles (level 10) Poison anything that strikes it for 2 stacks — the oxalate needles that make this houseplant a genuine hazard to pets. Putrescine Aura (level 68) is the carrion side of the family: it chips the enemy active for 2% of that plant's max HP every checkup, ignoring DEF and the overshield entirely. See Abilities.
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 103, DEF 1, with a retreat cost of 12 Sun and tempo pips of 36 initiative / 36 SPD. Its DEF sits modestly in the low band. As a native it gains a +15% HP cushion and, while benched, projects a green HP overshield bar onto your active — its whole role is defensive support. 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.
HP swells toward 190 while DEF stays modest (1) — bigger, but no new tricks. Retreat rises to 23 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.
Its category is off the succession wheel entirely, so it deals and takes neutral damage against every group — no type advantage in either direction. It lives or dies on raw stats and its kit, not the matchup chart.
Its only role is the native buffer: sit it on the bench to project an overshield, or field it as a body that soaks hits for your carries. Off the succession wheel it never gets a type edge either way, but it is not an empty card: it runs Raphide Bundles from level 10 and a Putrescine Aura from level 68, both working every match. 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.
