Zephyrex — the Pantra Buff That Can't Gain Multicast in Batomon Showdown

What did the official patch notes say about Zephyrex?

Two mentions, six weeks apart, and neither reads like the other:

The 1.1.0 row is ordinary — a one-second buff inside the fourteen-monster Pantra wave the developer framed as raising “lesser played or underperforming” monsters toward Jinto’s level. The 1.3.0 row is not: Zephyrex shows up inside someone else’s bugfix and walks out with a documented trait.

Where Zephyrex fits the meta record

Beyond the two patch lines, Zephyrex’s context is the region debate: it is one of Pantra’s buffed fourteen, the wave that answered Jinto’s day-10+ DPS lead, and neither 1.2.0’s second Jinto pass nor 1.3.0’s fine-tuning touched it again. The best teams overview tracks the buff wave’s targets — shield scaling, burn pressure, multicast access — and the Batomon tier list grades the whole wave “A — patch-favored,” which measures the patch’s bet, not measured strength.

No community thread on this site’s record argues Zephyrex by name; its search traffic arrives as a bare monster name rather than a debate. That makes this page an official-trajectory page by design: the two patch lines are the record, and everything else waits on in-game capture.

What is still unknown

• Zephyrex’s cost, attack, health and ability text at each level — the Cooldown and the multicast exclusion are the only official lines.
• Whether “can’t gain Multicast” blocks every source (Aviarab’s arm, Clawnetic-style self-multicast, event rewards) or only the arm — the bugfix wording covers the Aviarab interaction it fixed.
• Any measured performance before or after the 1.1.0 buff.

The monster list files Zephyrex under the Pantra pool, the Aviarab page documents the arming rule this bugfix completed, and the best teams overview tracks the Pantra buff wave Zephyrex’s one-second buff belongs to.
