    My top monster right now has to be Nautilid. Equip it with a medallion, use a buff, and nothing on your side is dying. It also will apply a lot of debuffs while supporting, especially if you dark shift it.

    Toad is the absolute best with that "buff your team/debuff your enemies at the same time" mechanic, its just way too cool and OP. They other 3 are good DPS and they are great for mid/late game team synergies like bleed, charg, age, etc. Amazing game, I beat it 4 times and beat it as well in the NG+ game modes! (Platinum is super ez to get btw)

    I have to give my favorite slots to the team I went through most of the second half of the game with: Dark Mad Eye, Dark Ice Blob, and Light Druid Oak. Mad Eye spread debuffs and pumped up the damage over time with Age counters, and removed buffs from enemies all while hitting super effective damage to the whole enemy team. Ice Blob shielded the team and applied stacks on stacks of Chill for Congeal damage and made sure Barrier was getting applied early. Druid Oak was able to apply 3 stacks of Regen and buff the entire party every turn while healing them, then taking pot shots with Age-boosted stats on safe turns. The team only got stronger every turn, so all I had to do was survive a few rounds and it was all over. Most fights ended with all opponents suffering from every debuff, my whole team having every buff, no casualties, and full health.

    try fungi with abyssal sword, thunder sphere, poisoned dart and thermal reactor….its pure madness, even hitting around 30-40 times and preparing for huge combo metres, where his best friend troll hits easily for 20k. this together with grulu is insane. one of my favorite teams to win fast fights. other than that i love thornfish, hes part of all my stall teams, protecting his teammates and stacking tons of bleed and poison stacks.

    I'm not much into metroidvania's but this game is so phenomenal that i just had a really hard time putting it down. My only wish is for this game's pvp scene to be stronger. I was only able to get into 2 matches but since then, every time i tried to match make, i couldn't find a match.

  • @keldon_champion
    @keldon_champion Рік тому

    I recently started playing, I have always liked grass starters from Pokemon so I of course picked the toad right off the get go and I don't regret it at all. Your tip of pairing him with glass cannon monsters definitely can work but I highly recommend pairing him with more heavy debuff monsters and just bury the enemy in them using the toad's insane survivability and healing to just tank through everything. At level 20 he gets stupid good when you get warlock heal, bolster, and buffing heal. A good early 3 man is toad, fungi, and ice blob to stack poison and chill with congeal this will melt pretty much everything the early game throws at you.

    In my current save file of the game, my go to team has been two Light Shifted Targoats and the final spot can be almost anything. Dark Shift Prof-whatever that Frankenstien thing from the Underworld is for hitting all enemies or Dark Shifted Gryphonix for single target.

    Got this game a couple days ago thanks to the Steam sale. At first I thought it was a bit cheap looking. I thought every skill having multiple hits was some way of making it look cooler, thought the monsters would be copy paste lackluster stuff. But damn this game actually has good difficulty, good incentive to hunt, lots of customisation options. I'm really impressed!

  • @Katie-hb8iq
    @Katie-hb8iq 2 роки тому

    As someone who has played 2 of these extensively, I think it's fair to say how they are typically used. While the Toad can dps with poison, it's preferred role is a healer and offensive buffer. Granting Full offense to the DPS and healing allies are its main play patterns, and his light shift helps him create charge synergy with monsters like Targoat and Blade Widow, just as some examples. The Toad is likely the strongest starter out of the 4, probably being one of the best healers/offensive buffers in the game. He's kind of worth taking because waiting for someone like Thanatos instead can be a really, really long wait. I'd give him a 10/10 The Eagle is a dps that is pretty good for general purpose combat, but does fall short when taking out bosses. It is pretty frail, so you need to combine it with buffers, like Targoat, Frosty, Magmapillar, etc. Really needs familiar accessory to get back some of that competitive edge because dps's like Mimic, Blade Widow, Manticorb and others start to out-perform it against bosses. Also works well in charge teams, but is easily replaceable with other monsters. I'd give him a 8/10. From what a hear in the community, the Lion is about as good as the Eagle, and the Wolf is the weakest out of the 4 starters. Take that for what its worth.

  • @Katie-hb8iq
    @Katie-hb8iq 2 роки тому

    Yeah, I agree. Slay the Spire, Monster Train and Monster Sanctuary are like my 3 favourite indie games ever. Children of Morta is probably my 4th, although I really suck at it.

      Slay the spire has been my top one, Haded was up there as high for me. And now as someone who only just recently got the game cuz I heard about it from the new free expansion, this is also up there. I've thought about trying Monster Train so many times just never did, kept feeling like it'd just be a little bit worse StSpire experience for me lol
