How to Use Dentist Dude

Dentist Dude injects Novocaine into a random enemy on every hit, stacking up to 5 times; each stack prevents 3% of the damage that enemy receives (up to 15% total) — an armor-shred effect that makes your whole team hit harder. He is a quiet defensive MVP against tanky bosses like the G.O.A.T. B-tier: subtle but strong mitigation.
