Zingiber mioga
Mioga ginger (Zingiber mioga) is a competitor perennial herb in Supplant — a native-only buffer whose game role is set out below.
Myoga is a hardy ginger grown for its edible flower buds and shoots. In battle it is a Perennial herb — a Competitor on the succession chart. It is native to East Asia and South Asia and invasive nowhere, so it only ever plays the native buffer role — there is no attacker version of this card.
Its starter attack, Rhizome Creep, is available from Lv 1 for 2 Sun and deals about 27 damage. The free once-per-battle ability, Autogenic Reaction, unlocks at Lv 25: Remakes its own ground: +6 ATK and heal 25%. The advanced attack, Herbaceous Assault (Lv 40, 6 Sun), hits for about 30.
From Lv 10 it carries Bitter Principle, so an attacker that strikes it is Withered (its attack drops by 2). At Lv 68 a second always-on trait stacks on: Resprout, a 60% chance (it triggers about three times in five) to cling on through one otherwise-lethal hit at roughly a quarter HP, once per battle.
For field gear, a Calcium/Magnesium amendment adds flat DEF, which a soft-bodied plant like this feels most; feeding it Nitrogen (N), the nutrient matching its edible leaf, pays bonus coins. Its growth habit is not recorded as a climber, so it is not Moss Pole–eligible.
Read at the snapshot level (Lv 40, where its whole kit is unlocked), it shows 103 HP and 19 ATK with 4 DEF. As a native it carries a 15% HP cushion and, while benched, projects an HP overshield bar onto your active. On defence, its DEF stays near the floor, so it relies on tempo and offence rather than soaking hits. Its opening tempo (turn 1) is 33 and its sustained tempo (turn 2 onward) 34 — making it steady in both the opening and the sustained phases of a fight. Retreating it costs 16 Sun. See Stats and Native Strength for the full picture.
By Lv 100 its HP swells toward 190, but its DEF barely leaves its band at 8 — a soft-category plant stays soft no matter how much biomass it puts on. Attack reaches 34, retreat rises to 33 Sun, and its inverted tempo has sunk to a sliver, so the speed it relied on young is spent. It grows bulkier but never becomes a wall.
On the succession chart a Perennial herb is a Competitor. Competitor plants hit Ruderal categories hard (×1.5) and are resisted by Specialist categories (×0.667); against everything else the matchup is neutral. Weird categories are off the wheel entirely, so it trades neutrally with those.
A native-only support herb: it Withers attackers on contact, gains a survival trait late, and its leaf-edibility earns coins. A modest, useful benchmate rather than a damage dealer. Because its edible part (leaf) is recorded, feeding it Nitrogen pays ×1.25 coins; any other nutrient banks ×1.25 XP instead.
It fights as a fast skirmisher until about Lv 24, after which its growing bulk and attack take over from its early speed edge.
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.
