Monster Sanctuary – Tips Tricks
Core Combat Mechanics
While the game’s tutorials practise a expert project of explaining how things work, having an out-of-game reference guide tin live handy inward instance y'all desire to review.
Combo Meter
The combo meter increases amongst every activity taken. This agency that every motion volition increment the harm of each subsequent motion during a round.
Example: If y'all direct hold an assault that does 4x 80% harm in addition to then the combo meter volition teach four “stacks”. Each stack is worth 5% extra damage. Therefore, that would live 20% increased harm for your side past times side monster.
Tip: If ane of your monsters has a science that applies buffs or heals to your party, it is recommend to usage the buffing (or healing) motion foremost during the circular every bit this doesn’t practise goodness from combo, but soundless adds to your combo counter. Then, brand surely to direct hold your “heaviest hitter” become lastly hence every bit to teach the nigh practise goodness from the combo meter bonus.
Scoring System
In Monster Sanctuary, winning the battle isn’t all that counts. Instead, winning them inward an efficient mode is what truly matters.
As y'all tin regard inward the screenshot above, in that location are 3 principal categories which y'all should trouble yourself with: Combat Duration, Healthiness, in addition to Overkill.
Duration: Winning the teach by inward a smaller discover of turns.
Healthiness: How much wellness your monsters direct hold at the goal of each turn.
Overkill: How expert your execution of the battle was.
On ane hand, this is pretty self-explanatory, however, in that location are a few clarifications that y'all volition desire to know:
For Duration, every motion that each private monster makes is considered 0.33 of a turn. This agency that if y'all tin complete the battle amongst simply ane or 2 of your monsters making a motion inward the concluding round, your score volition enjoin X.33 or X.66 turns. This volition of course of pedagogy increment your score past times having a lower plow count number.
For Healthiness, the fundamental purpose is “health at the goal of each turn”. This agency that it’s ok to accept a few hits during battle, every bit long every bit y'all heal them upwardly before each plow ends. Depending on how badly wounded your monsters are, sometimes it’s worth taking that “one extra action” from your healer to drastically improve your Healthiness score.
If you’re “hardly wounded”, however, it’s probable best to goal the battle “that much sooner” in addition to increment your Duration score. Since Healthiness entirely measures “health”, using shields is an effective way to protect your wellness (and Healthiness score) since the harm your monsters accept are applied to shields foremost before their “actual wellness bar”.
For Overkill, non entirely is “overkill” harm a factor, but it likewise counts having your squad buffed in addition to debuffing the enemy team. This agency that if y'all desire to score good inward a battle, it volition live beneficial to truly shape buffs on yourself in addition to hamper the enemy amongst poisonous substance / burn downwards / chill etc. At the before parts of the game, this tin live a picayune tardily to overlook, but I would recommend keeping it inward mind.
So Why Should I Care About Score?
As seen inward the to a higher house screenshot amongst the scoring breakdown, the higher the score y'all get, the ameliorate loot that y'all find! More importantly, this effects egg drops from monsters. The higher star rating y'all get, the higher gamble an egg volition driblet from a wild monster.
Something particular to note, however, is that when fighting Champion monsters, y'all must attain a 5-star-rating to teach its egg to drop! Champion rewards are dissimilar from regular encounters since they’re entirely awarded ane time for the entire salve file.
For example, if y'all teach a 3 star rating on a champion, in addition to fought it over again later, no affair how expert or bad of a rating y'all get, y'all volition never teach the rewards over again since you’ve already collected them. The entirely way to teach to a greater extent than rewards is to attain a higher rank than you’ve done before (essentially, a novel “high score”).
Thankfully, y'all tin rechallenge champion creatures which you’ve already defeated at the Keeper’s Stronghold.
Keeper Battles
Keeper battles are currently the equivalent of PvP, in addition to the rules are a fleck different:
- Each Keeper uses their total squad of vi monsters, but in that location volition entirely 3 monsters active every bit usual.
- If a monster gets knocked out, its keeper must switch inward ane of their reserve monsters (pending they direct hold whatever left inward their active squad of vi monsters).
- The plow gild inward a Keeper duel is determined past times chance, amongst the Keeper who goes foremost entirely getting 2 turns every bit a drawback for the wages of going first. (Note that vs NPCs the instrumentalist ever goes foremost for keeper battles. In PvP, when it’s implemented, it’s planned to live random).
- Items (such every bit potions) are non allowed during a Keepers duel.
- In a Keeper Duel, all damage, healing, in addition to shielding abilities are one-half every bit strong.
- You win the duel past times defeating the vi monsters of your opponent.
Tips in addition to QOL Info
– You tin “donate” extra eggs in addition to monsters at the Keepers Stronghold past times talking to the bluish individual inward the screenshot. This procedure gives smaller rewards upon donation, in addition to larger rewards on getting a surely threshold of regular army clitoris donated. Donation is likewise cracking to proceed your monster inventory build clean if y'all don’t demand extra copies of mutual monsters.
– Stores volition sell ameliorate items the higher your Keeper’s rank is.
– The Infinite Arena (also institute inward the Keeper’s Stronghold inward the fuchsia-colored) gives wages boxes, which comprise items, potions in addition to eggs! This is a cracking house to “farm” sense in addition to to a greater extent than or less harder-to-find items.
– You tin reorganize your skills past times using a science resetter (Note, the gild is which y'all score your skills volition reverberate the gild inward which the card shows y'all during battle). Since this is of course of pedagogy a “strange thing”, the devs direct hold stated that they intend to brand science reorganization a characteristic inward the future. This is simply a “workaround” for now.
– Monsters respawn after you’ve done 3 battles. Repawn is NOT based on a fourth dimension menstruum or walking around.
– There is a name-changer NPC standing inward the same expanse every bit the Evolution Tree. So if y'all modify y'all heed on a name, no worries, y'all tin ever modify it.
– If y'all ever brand a error in addition to desire to speedily “undo it”, depository fiscal establishment complaint that the game entirely saves inward 2 instances: 1. When y'all become to the card in addition to select “save in addition to quit” or 2. When y'all “change an exploration screen”. When changing screens, y'all volition notice inward the bottom corner of the covert “autosaving”. As long every bit y'all don’t trigger either of these “save conditions” y'all tin press “Alt – F4” on your keyboard to fully-close the game without saving. BE WARNED: live real careful amongst this hence every bit to entirely quit without saving when y'all desire to. Thankfully, the game auto-saves hence often, that fifty-fifty if y'all goal upwardly inward a province of affairs where y'all “accidentally” shut the game without saving, you’ll probable lose entirely a few minutes of playtime.
– In options y'all tin modify the combat speed upwardly to 2x, this volition salve a expert sum of fourth dimension if y'all are grinding or simply bask a faster pace!
-Food gives a semi-permanent buff. Each monster may direct hold upwardly to 3 food-bonuses active at a time. For every novel nutrient given to a monster, the oldest nutrient bonus volition live removed in addition to the novel ane gets placed at the kickoff of the nutrient list. Since y'all volition uncovering ameliorate lineament nutrient every bit y'all progress inward the game, if you’re going to feed your monster (for example) “two lesser bonus foods in addition to ane higher bonus one”, it is best to usage the weaker nutrient first, in addition to then the stronger one, hence the weaker ones volition teach overridden foremost when y'all give it ameliorate nutrient afterwards on.
