(Where it sits)
Across the 119 frames in the roster, Lavos sits in the top fifteen per cent for armor (4th of 119) and health (16th of 119).
It is thin on energy (118th of 119), which is what a build has to answer for.
It ships with 2 polarities already installed, plus Naramon on the aura slot, so that much of the board costs no forma.
