(Where it sits)
Across the 117 frames in the roster, Lavos sits in the top fifteen per cent for armor (4th of 117) and health (16th of 117).
It is thin on energy (116th of 117), 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.
