This daemon's high efficiency is super high, though. Not every day (or even every month) that you see an easy-to-get card with such amazing efficiency. ^^ 485.1 attack efficiency! There aren't many easy-to-get cards with efficiency at or over 400 to begin with. Hamal, Obligatory Chocolate, Kiri, Faithful Hound, Sanuki no Miyatsuko, Bunny Battler, Coeurl (not as easy as the others), Fir Tree Sprite (not as easy as the others except for possibly Coeurl depending on the player)... Compare that number with the number of below-400-efficiency easy-to-get cards released in the same timeframe, and yeah. xD (I've probably missed a few, but my point still stands)

And all of the daemons (except for Obligatory Chocolate if you count her 100%-trigger skill boost) that I listed have efficiencies from 400-425--nowhere near Mamertine's 485 efficiency. ^^ If his efficiency was just 425 or 415 or something, it'd still be pretty dang awesome, but 485 efficiency for such an easy-to-get card is pretty much unheard of (except for Obligatory Chocolate with the boost from her skill).

Definitely makes up for--or even outweighs--the shortcomings of Mamertine's skill, imo. ^^ Mathematically, his extra attack also makes up for the fact that his skill can't be maxed. I've attached a picture for reference. (I might've made a mistake somewhere xD; The team on the bottom is identical to the top with the exception of Mamertine having 4250 attack and 22% boost instead of 4851 attack and 15% boost. The original Mamertine doesn't quite outweigh the fake Mamertine, but they're about equal. In other words, Mamertine's extra attack definitely makes up for the lack of 7% in skill boost.
