 * Man O' War (AoE 30 Water dmg + Freeze, 33s, 4-turn CD)
 * Bottle O' Rum / Sand Tower (Rum for 30 Water dmg + 50% Stamina Removal, 25s, 3-turn CD) / (Tower for 50% Shield, 22s, 2-turn CD)
 * Sand Castle (Team 30% Shield, 27s, 4-turn CD)
 * Mutiny / Ahoy Matey! (Mutiny for 60 Earth dmg + Stun, 29s, 2-turn CD) / (Ahoy for 40 Earth dmg + Stun, 26s, no CD)

Man O' War is the first move you will want to run, to freeze all enemies. Bottle O' Rum drains 50% of stamina from an enemy, though for a high cooldown, so you can substitute this for Sand Tower, which gives one of your allies a decently-sized shield. Sand Castle gives all your allies a medium shield. The final move is a singular stun move; Mutiny dealing more damage with a higher cooldown and Ahoy Matey! dealing less damage but with no cooldown, meaning you can stun an enemy continuously if you have a spammable PER monster.

Recommended Allies

 * Panzus has access to both Stun and Possession Immunity which, if applied to Avaast, makes Avaast a denier who can't be denied himself other than by Total Blind (which is easy to counter) or stamina drain.

Counters

 * If she can outspeed him, Kaori can deal a lot of thunder damage to Avaast. She is also already immune to stun, and can make herself immune to freeze with one of her moves, making Avaast's moves useless on her. She needs to be protected, however, since Avaast can deal lots of earth damage to her.


 * Inknatius is immune to every effect, so Avaast's control effects won't help. He also has a 70 damage dark move, meaning he can easily kill off Avaast. Avaast can drain half of his stamina though, so be wary of that.
 * Joppers outspeeds Avaast and is able to stun him and his teammates. After Avaast gets a turn in denied, she can possess him, giving him a chance to freeze his teammates. In the process, Joppers can deal heavy Dark damage to Avaast.
