Introduction

As we progress across the storyline we come across various monsties that seem cool but after a while they seem either slow or as if they serve no puprose towards progressing. This causes one to switch between monsties hurting the experience gain not by much but as you reach certain stages of the game you realise that you have been missing something that could actually benefit in a fight or to cross certain parts of the terrain. So here is my top 3 list of must have monsties apart from Ratha ofcourse since we cannot switch it out. These are the best monsties that you need to have before the endgame starts.

1. Tobi Kadachi

Advantages: Terrain (Sprint Speed, Flight, Wall Climb)

This is on of the best Monsties by far. I would put this one in the S+ tier since it runs like the wind, flies and even climbs walls. The best part is you start with it and most likely will end up keeping it even during the endgame. Attacks are based on speed and has skills that increase the dodge chance (Heat Shimmer) as well as restore stamina and provide stamina regen boost (Charge Up). Another thing of importance here is soon after using Kinship Skill it directly gets into the High Voltage state which increases its damage output. Later on with a bit of Rite of Channeling you can include Power (Bolt Flash) and Tech type skills to win those 1v1s.

2. Nerscylla

Advantages: Battles (Sleep into Sleep Chaser)

Nerscyalla early on can help you in your battles and execute some really clutch plays by putting the enemy to sleep, this can cause not only the enemy to sleep to miss a turn and heal your team but it also has a follow up attack that does more damage to a sleeping enemy. Defeating Nerscylla also lets you craft sleep ailment weapons that stack towards its sleep needle. It’s not that handy at helping you navigate through terrain but makes up whatever it lacks for in that aspect, in battle.

3. Almudron

Advantages: Terrain (Ground Dive, Swim and Breath) + Battle (Mud Torrent)

Almudron is one of the best Monsties out there that can help you in battle as well as perform the tasks of two slots. In the begining you will find yourself hosting two separate monsties to Swim and Ground Dive but as soon as you enter into the mid games this is the first boss fight that you encounter and finding its eggs is easy as well. It has skills that can do damage over time and hits multiple enemies (Mud Torrent) and later on you just need to add Crash Wave for massive damage. It also has dragon affinity so slotting in a skill like Pickaxe Beak will help a lot later.
