Mahopon
Mahopons are Patapon mages that are very useful in many situations. "Maho"(魔法) means "Magic" in Japanese. They first appeared in Patapon 2. They can wield a variety of staffs and wears boots for a little defense. They are frail, yet they are able to perform a variety of duties for the team. Unlike other units, the Mahopons' abilities change depending on what staff they are currently using. They are the most useful, and customisiable Patapons in game, as they can heal, cure status ailments, boost defense for a bit or cast either fire, ice or lightning attacks. The problem is that Mahopon have low HP (exactly 100 HP at level 1 normal), which means they can get easily killed, so you need to find shoes that provide lots of defence. Shoes, unfortunately, are the Mahopons' only armor. You can also level them up for more defence and HP. A full Mahopon squad consists of three Mahopons. In Patapon 2, when Mahopons reach level 10 Normal, their Critical Chance raises to 60%, so they can make some decent damage. Mahopons could also perform pre-emptive attacks along with the Yumipons, however, their range isn't as great as them. Mahopons perform well when used as status inflicting Rarepons like Koppen, Uhoho, and Mashu, or better yet, strong Rarepons like Wanda, Chigyobi, Mogyu, Sabara, and Gyaba will devastate the enemies' lines. Mahopons are one of the 3 Patapon Elite Units In Patapon 2, the other ones being Toripon and Robopon.
Description
By waving their magic staves, the Mahopons can call upon various magic spells. Their magic changes based on what staff they equip and can do anything from area attacks to healing themselves. However, unless you have powerful staves for them, they can't really do anything at all. They are the great new hope of the Patapon army.
