The plant hero grows (max 8 stacks). Growth increases Max Health (~38% for the first 4 stacks to a max of 150%) and Attack (5% for each stack, max 40%). The number indicates their growth level. Purge resets the the counter to 0, and let them shrink. Entering a new room resets it to 1. Can't be copied or stolen.
If the target (or an ally) is hit there is a chance for a Revenge attack, a basic attack. Buffs (like Pumped) or traits (like Slow) can grant Revenge attacks. Revenge attacks can trigger Epics but not another Revenge attack of the enemy to prevent endless loops.

Counters:
Moriko can be countered by making use of the following traits and special attacks:
Immune to Spirit, Lightning, and Light attacks. High resistance (75%) to Paralysis. [Light allies start Dungeons with +1 extra energy]. The text in [brackets] is of rank II of this trait (I/II).
3 Melee Physical attacks on target enemy that deals 3x damage to non-Armored targets. If target dies, all other enemies' HP is set to 75% of their current HP.
Moriko was the last of the 4 Spirits that celebrated their debut between the Halloween and Frightmare Before Winterfest events in 2020. He was revealed on 2020-12-08 and is the 109th Hero in the game.
Moriko is one of the few Tanks in Dungeon Boss that has no Taunt and no ability with a Provoked debuff to control the enemies attacks.
His crowd control abilities consist of preventing any Resurrections by absorbing dead bodies from the battlefield. This happens passively (automatically) as long as he is on the battlefield. It does not matter if he is dead or alive.
The trait responsible for this, Forest Feasts, also blocks the summoning of Niveous' Ice Golems and effectively counteracts him. Lord Zomm's Zominions, however, are little impressed by this and continue to rise from the ground unhindered.
When Moriko was released he had the simple version of the Slow trait without revenge attacks and stat boosts, and he was no member of the Plant family. This is fixed. Runes that are restricted to the PlantFamily can be equipped now.
Moriko has a close bond with Harbinger the Terror, Undine, and Vulcan. All together, they can perform a special Spirit Team Super Epic Attack.
