11Overview22Painting Iron Beast (画间沉铁兽) is a Normal/Fighting dual-type spirit and one of the most feared physical attackers in Roco Kingdom: World's competitive scene. With a monstrous 160 Physical Attack stat and a trait that scales damage against buffed opponents, Iron Beast has earned a reputation as the single biggest nightmare for any team that relies on stacking stat boosts.44Iron Beast is rated T0 as a mechanical-system power attacker (机械系强攻手) and is one of four core spirits in the canonical Master-rank PVP team. Its unique ability to punish buff-stacking strategies makes it a near-mandatory inclusion in any serious competitive roster.66Profile88AttributeDetailsFull NamePainting Iron Beast (画间沉铁兽)TypeNormal / FightingPVP TierT0 (机械系强攻手)Total Race Value608LocationHidden spirit at Magic AcademyHow to FindLocate the painting with a spirit inside; interact to trigger battle1010Evolution Chain1111The Iron Beast line starts as the unassuming Painting Sprite and evolves through a standard level-based evolution before requiring a special battle condition for the final form.1313StageNameChineseLevel / ConditionBasePainting Sprite画精灵Starting formStage 2Painting Guardian画像守护Lv16FinalPainting Iron Beast画间沉铁兽Lv36 + defeat 3 Illusion-type spirits1515The final evolution has a unique requirement: in addition to reaching level 36, Painting Guardian must defeat 3 Illusion-type spirits in battle. This condition rewards players who actively seek out specific encounters rather than passively grinding. Once the condition is met, evolution triggers immediately after the third qualifying victory.1616Stats1818Iron Beast's stat distribution is heavily skewed toward Physical Attack, with solid Speed and respectable Physical Defense to support its aggressive playstyle.2020StatValueHP100Physical Attack160Magic Attack67Physical Defense100Magic Defense76Speed105Total6082222The 160 Physical Attack is among the highest in the entire game for any spirit. Combined with 105 Speed, Iron Beast reliably moves before many opponents and delivers devastating physical blows. The low Magic Attack is irrelevant since its entire kit relies on physical damage. Magic Defense at 76 is the main vulnerability, making Iron Beast susceptible to strong special attackers.2323Trait: Adaptive Artwork (变形活画)2525Iron Beast's signature trait is Adaptive Artwork (变形活画). When Iron Beast attacks an opponent, for each buff layer the opponent currently has, the move's power increases by 10%. This means if an opponent has stacked 5 layers of various buffs (attack up, defense up, speed up, etc.), Iron Beast's attacks deal 50% additional damage.2727This trait is a direct hard counter to buff-stacking strategies, which are otherwise among the strongest approaches in competitive play. Teams built around spirits like Swan (Emerald-Crown Lady branch) that rely on accumulating and transferring stat buffs become extremely vulnerable when Iron Beast is on the opposing team. The more the enemy buffs, the harder Iron Beast hits them. This creates a lose-lose situation for buff teams: either they skip their buffs and play suboptimally, or they buff and hand Iron Beast a massive damage bonus.2929Key Skills3131SkillChineseTypeEffectFirst Strike先发制人PriorityMoves first regardless of Speed; ideal for securing kills before the enemy can reactIntercept Fist截拳Fighting / PhysicalStrong physical Fighting-type attackEnergy Blade能量刃Normal / PhysicalHigh-power physical slashEffective Prevention有效预防UtilityDefensive utility move3333Learnable Skills3434SkillChineseEffectIntimidate恐吓Reduces opponent's attack statsTaunt嘲弄Forces the opponent to target Iron BeastSpirit Light灵光Special utility moveMidnight Noise午夜噪音Dark-type disruption move3636PVP Strategy3737Iron Beast's competitive role is straightforward: it exists to punish any team that buffs. The standard PVP approach is:3939Scout the enemy team. If the opponent has buff-reliant spirits (especially support types like Emerald-Crown Lady), Iron Beast becomes the centerpiece of your strategy.Wait for buffs. Let the opponent invest turns stacking their buffs. Each buff layer they apply increases your damage output by 10%.Switch in Iron Beast. Once the enemy has committed to their buff strategy, bring in Iron Beast to capitalize. With Adaptive Artwork active, even a single attack can deal catastrophic damage to a heavily buffed target.Use First Strike to clean up. First Strike's priority effect ensures Iron Beast moves before the opponent can react, making it excellent for finishing off weakened spirits or preventing emergency switches.4141Master-Rank PVP Team4343Iron Beast is one of four core spirits in the canonical high-winrate Master-rank team:4545Swan (support or disruptor)Sound Speed Dog (Fire Dog, physical burst)Demon Wolf (Dark-type aggression)Iron Beast (buff counter, raw physical power)4747In this composition, Iron Beast acts as the anti-buff insurance policy. If the opponent tries to match Swan's buff strategy with their own buffs, Iron Beast punishes them for it. If they do not buff, Iron Beast still hits extremely hard thanks to its base 160 Physical Attack. This makes the team difficult to counter regardless of the opponent's approach.4949How to Find5151Iron Beast is a hidden spirit located at the Magic Academy. To encounter it, explore the academy until you find a painting that appears to contain a living spirit. Interacting with this painting triggers a battle against a wild Painting Sprite. Capture it during this encounter. There is no other way to obtain this spirit; it does not appear in the wild outside of this specific interaction.5353Tips5555Iron Beast's Adaptive Artwork trait makes it the single best counter to buff-heavy teams in the game. If you are struggling against opponents who stack buffs, Iron Beast is the answer.The final evolution requires defeating 3 Illusion-type spirits. Seek these out early so you are ready to evolve as soon as you reach Lv36.Iron Beast's low Magic Defense is its primary weakness. Pair it with a teammate that can handle special attackers, or switch Iron Beast out when facing magic-heavy threats.First Strike is invaluable for securing knockouts on low-HP targets that might otherwise switch out or use a healing move. Prioritize learning it.
