Good artifacts such as Santerion and Nitroblaster work very well too, as Hackster cannot do much if he is unable to control enemies.

Grakon and Lord Pumpseed can outspeed Hackster, apply CDA and even respectively Stun and Mega Corruption.

Thundeer is great for this, since he can give Hackster a random Mega Control that is guaranteed to land since Hackster doesn't have immunity to any forms of denial. Any denier that is faster than him can crush him.

Hackster is slow for a denier, and his trait is useless for avoiding deny skills.

Recommended Relics: Mantis Claws Trap, Nabuline's Trap, Oblation Trap, Rotten's Trap Counters

Arpanet Explorer (Corruption + Double Damage, 30s, 3 CD).

Phrack Editor (Metal Weakness + Time Stop, 30s, 3 CD).

Original Cracker (AoE 30 Metal dmg + Stun, 27s, 3 CD).

Arpanet Explorer has a chance to backfire, giving the enemy monster Double Damage.

Has 3 types of denial, 2 of which are AoE (Stun and Corrupt).

Corruption bypasses Possession Immunity.These reasons stop him from reaching higher ranks.

He also has no PER or Trait Disable either to chain deny.

Hackster has a great moveset, but his speed is rather low for the current meta and his trait is horrid. This means that if your monster has a trait that gives them REGULAR Possession Immunity, too bad! Hackster will still Possess them unless the opponent has a trait that gives him immunity to all Possessions, such as Abomination or Gravedigger. Hackster is a classic denier monster known for the Corruption effect, which bypasses Possession Immunity.
