  • @jaredfrahm7679
    @jaredfrahm7679 11 місяців тому +12

    Charge makes the monsters use offensive spells, mixed will have them use various moves like attacks, status spells, heal, etc. Cautious has the monster focus on healing.
    In tournaments you cannot give specific commands.

    • @sanudasa5652
      @sanudasa5652 11 місяців тому

      It's worth nothing this affects your monsters personality (somehow) but typically it is better to use charge (attack skills or autos) / mixed (debuff or buff skills) / cautious (heal/revives) out in the overworld instead of only giving command skills. This can eventually lead to extra effects like critical chance if you normally use the "charge" function" or thing like ... is it a mana free heal if you use cautious a lot? Something like that.
      There are extra effects and this lets you also predict what your monsters will use in the arena since you cant specifically command them there anyway.

    • @TheBuckBratager
      @TheBuckBratager 11 місяців тому +1

      There are charts out there that you can find up that show how different commands impact your monsters' personalities. As a general rule, though, your monster gets more personality per command at low levels, and trying to balance them early on means they can acquire the coveted "Hotblooded" personality, which gives bonuses to everything, IIRC.

    While the GBC games still holds up (granted you know how to navigate RPGs of its time), if you want to get a better idea of how DQM Dark Prince is gonna be like, I'd recommend you check out the DQM Joker games on the DS.
    While both hold up really well, Joker 2 aged a LOT better, and I'd recommend it to anyone checking out the Monsters subseries for the first time.

    Not allowed to do commands in the tournaments, you need to train their personalities by not using direct commands and then they will tend to pick good moves in the tournaments. Charge will allways attack, mixed will try and use support moves, and defend will either block or heal.

    I love these games so much as a kid. Honestly the second game was a little bit better because the key system allowed you to continuously put keys in the door in order to travel to randomly procedure generated worlds. The fact that you can just keep playing and playing indefinitely as a kid was mind blowing🎉
    Random tip: the first two games the monsters had personalities which you could change through books and personalities determined how they would fight on their own in tournaments without guidance

    You gotta put your healer on Cautious for best effect. Mixed is mixed skills, they will try to buff and support more. Charge is aggressive skills and attacks, CAutious is some buffs and healing. "No sp sk" Means don't use special skills. That is bad to pick in the tournament. xD

    The tournaments restrict you to only use auto attacks. Early game lets you get away with spamming basic attacks. Further in, you are expected to make good use of the convoluted breeding and fusion system so you have to invest in high Ranks to make progress. I like this system because just cuz it uses auto attacks, it doesn't make it brainless.
