|4. Ranks |

O---------O

[RANK G]

Fee: 100G

Reward: Strength Ring (Accessory Attack +5 Equip: All)Morrie's Reward: Three additional reserve monster slots

Round One: She-slime x2, Slime Knight

Round Two: Frogface x2, Treeface

Final Round: Hammerhood, Gorerilla, Bullfinch

Strategy: This isn't a difficult rank to win, but your initial team

leaves much

to be desired. Get rid of Smiles and Squiggles ASAP and replace them

with

better monsters. Lonely Joe is a decent fighter for this rank, but you

can

recruit much stronger creatures in the field. I'd highly recommend

scouting

strong attackers like Hackzilla, Potbelly, and Snap Case. Brickman is

a good

choice as well due to his strong defense. If you get Brickman, don't

release

him and keep him in reserve. He'll play a big role later in the arena.

Having

Healer on your team keeps your monsters healthy, but at this point

early in the

game you'll probably want to stick to a totally offensive team.

Winning this

rank gets you the strength ring, but even better gives you the ability

to hold

three monsters in reserve, allowing you to recruit a total of six

monsters

(three in your team and three in reserve).

[RANK F]

Fee: 200G

Reward: Bunny Suit (Armor Defense +38 Equip: Jessica)

Morrie's Reward: Option to fight against your team

Round One: Khalamari Kid x2, King Kelp

Round Two: Dingaling x2, Jargon

Final Round: Dancing Devil, Wailin' Weed, Redtail Hipster

Strategy: The same team that you used in Rank G can take you through

this rank

as well. The main thing to worry about is the Redtail Hipster in the

final

round. It has a special attack that can hit all of your team members

for major

damage. Winning this rank allows you to fight against your own team in

the

arena, and causes new monsters to appear on the field for you to

recruit.

[RANK E]

Fee: 300G

Reward: Ring of Clarity (Accessory Resist Confusion Equip: All)

Morrie's Reward: Call Team ability for hero

Round One: Jailcat x2, Terror Tabby

Round Two: Hipster, Minidemon, Witch

Final Round: Magic Marionette, Tap Devil, Volpone


2/35

Strategy: Now that you've cleared rank F there are new monsters to

recruit in

the field. Among them is Capers, a strong attacker that complements an

offensive team well. Curer also becomes available, but you're probably

not

going to be able to recruit it until later in the game. If you do

you'll add apowerful healer to the team. When you reach Orkutsk make sure to

recruit Roborg

ASAP to add a powerful attacker to your group. Winning this rank gives

the hero

the Call Team ability, which allows him to summon his monster team to

fight in

place of the party once per battle for a short time.

[RANK D]

Fee: 400G

Reward: Mighty Armlet (Accessory Attack +15 Equip: All)

Morrie's Reward: Three additional reserve monster slots

Round One: Night Fox, Night Emperor, Night Sneaker

Round Two: Skeleton, Walking Corpse, Mummy

Final Round: Brownie x2, Hood

Strategy: The main thing to worry about here is that in the final

round the

Brownies will raise their tension before they attack, which will most

likely

kill your weakened team members. Fortunately, they don't have much HP

so strong

attacks should take them out before they take you out. Winning rank D

adds

three more slots to your reserves, and causes additional monsters to

appear in

the field.

[RANK C]

Fee: 500G

Reward: Saint's Ashes (Item Used to remove curses in alchemy)

Morrie's Reward: None

Round One: See Urchin x2, Siren

Round Two: Mecha-mynah, Hunter Mech, Clockwork Cuckoo

Final Round: Fencing Fox, Bone Baron, Phantom Fencer

Strategy: It's all about brute force here. The mechanical enemies in

the second

round are tough, so be sure to bring some tough monsters of your own.

I'd

recommend bringing Cybot (now available after Rank D) and Roborg (if

you have

it too) along to the party. I don't recommend another sword monster

with them,

as using the special attack will hurt you here more than it helps.

Talos

becomes available after rank D, and if you have the two killing

machines and

him in the party this rank should be a breeze. You don't get anything

from

Morrie for winning this rank, but he promises that he'll give you

something

good next time.

[RANK B]Fee: 700G


3/35

Reward: Bardiche of Binding (Scythe Attack +83 Equip: Yangus)

Morrie's Reward: Second monster team

Round One: Dragurn, Tyrantosaurus, Snapdragon

Round Two: Stone Guardian, Boss Troll, Golem

Final Round: Rockbomb, Stone Golem, Living Statue

Strategy: And now for something completely different. There is a major

difficulty jump between this rank and the last one. The enemies hereall have

powerful attacks and major HP (in the 400 to 800 range). You'll need

to counter

brute force with brute force here. I recommend bringing Roborg, Cybot,

and

Talos. Whichever team you decide to stick with, I highly suggest that

Talos be

a part of it. Not only does he do quite a bit of damage, but also his

high HP

and defense lets him stay in this fight longer than any other monster

that you

can recruit at this point.

In the first match both the Dragurn and Tyrantosaurus have quite a bit

of HP,

and the Snapdragon can attack twice each round for loads of damage. In

the

second match you'll face three enemies with both loads of HP and

defense. In

the final match the Stone Golem will use tension (sometimes twice) to

deal

severe damage to a party member. Hopefully Talos will take the brunt

of the

attack while the other members of the team take the golem down.

Winning this

rank earns you a second monster team, giving you in effect another

three

monsters that you can have in reserve. Better yet, clearing rank B

makes the

final (and strongest) monsters available to recruit in the field.

[RANK A]

Fee: 1,000G

Reward: Hero Spear (Spear Attack +100 Equip: Hero)

Morrie's Reward: Unlock Rank S

Round One: Frou-frou, Cyclops, Troll

Round Two: Jumping Jackal x2, Great Sabrecat

Final Round: Zombie Gladiator, Treevil, Bomboulder

Strategy: It's very tempting to use the "My Three Golems" (Brickman,

Goldman,

Stoneman) team here. While Mazin can go through the first two monster

teams

like wet toilet paper, he might have problems with the last team. The

reason is

Mazin will keep killing the Bomboulder (since it has the lowest HP),

the

Treevil will keep resurrecting it, and the Zombie Gladiator will hack

away at

Mazin each round. Fortunately, I got lucky when Mazin took out the

Treevil when

it forgot to resurrect the Bomboulder. By the time Mazin took out the

Zombie

Gladiator he had less than 100 HP. So if you decide to use the allgolem team


4/35

it can be a bit risky. A good alternative to the golem team is the

killing

machine team (Roborg, Cybot, Nohi). If you decide to go with a rogue

team there

are several good monsters that you can use. Talos is still as strong

as ever.

Octurion is the best healer in the game. Pair these two with a strongattacker

like Skeledoid or Steropes and you'll have a powerful combination.

Winning this

rank unlocks the final rank S match.

[RANK S]

Fee: 1,000G

Reward: Dragon Robe (Armor Defense +103 Equip: Jessica, Angelo)

Morrie's Reward: No entry fees, hero statue

Round One: Goodybag, Mimic King, Mimic

Round Two: Dullahan, Healslime, Gigantes

Final Round: Liquid Metal Slime, Hell Gladiator, Cureslime

Strategy: This is it. The final rank is, not surprisingly, the hardest

of them

all. Since this is the rank that's probably going to give you the most

problems

to clear, I've decided to go more in depth in explaining whom you're

going to

face, and the teams that can possibly beat this rank. Note that even

with the

optimal teams there is always a chance you'll get unlucky and get

wiped out in

the final round (or even the second round).

In the first round you'll be up against a Goodybag, Mimic King, and

Mimic. The

main threat here damage wise is the Mimic King, since its hits deal

roughly 100

damage. Sometimes it will also cast Fuddle. The Mimic can attack twice

in a row

and can also cast Whack, which instantly kills its target if

successful. The

Goodybag doesn't do much damage, but it can potentially be the most

devastating

monster of all if it casts Kasap to lower the defense of your entire

team.

Remember that effects like this carry on to the next match, which

basically

means a death sentence for most teams if they get hit with it.

The second round is pure beat down. The Gigantes is the main threat

here, since

it can do a desperate attack that can deal 300-400 damage. If you're

unlucky it

will do this several times in a row. The Dullahan will spend most of

the time

building up tension, which will be devastating for one of your

teammates when

it finally attacks. The Healslime can be annoying but fortunately it

doesn't

heal much more than about 80 HP to a team member, if it decides to

heal at all.


5/35

The last round is the hardest of all, not surprising considering it's

Morrie's

team. The Hell Gladiator can attack twice each turn, and each hit can

cause the

target to fall asleep. The Cureslime doesn't do much in the battle,

but it has

a lot of HP, and will drive you nuts if it ends up healing the LiquidMetal

Slime. Speaking of which, this one doesn't run away, but it still has

its

trademark metal defense, which causes virtually any attack to do 1

damage, if

it hits at all. It also casts Kasizzle quite frequently.

So there you have it. Three tough teams that you need to take on

consecutively.

How do you go about doing it? Here are some possible teams you might

want to

consider. Note that my testing was done with the hero at level 45,

which is a

relatively high level by the end of the game.

[Triple Trouble (and why you shouldn't use them)]

You might think that because of the way they handled rank B and rank A

that

rank S should be no problem, right? Unfortunately, this isn't the case

here.

The saying that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link applies

here. The

weakest link in this case is Roborg. While the Triple Trouble team can

consistently reach the final match with its members intact, by that

time Roborg

is pretty much dead (if he wasn't killed in the last match already).

And if

Roborg (or any other member) of the team dies in the last round, you

can kiss

the Stream Killer Attack (SKA) goodbye. It should be noted that even

the SKA

deals at most 2 damage to the Liquid Metal Slime. Unless you get

really lucky

and the team focuses all its attacks on the Hell Gladiator, there's no

way to

keep your team intact since they'll divide their attacks at either the

Liquid

Metal Slime or the Cureslime (which has a large number of HP), while

the Hell

Gladiator kills off your team. The Kasizzle that the Liquid Metal

Slime casts

will also pretty much guarantee that someone is going to die fairly

quickly.

[My Three Golems (why you should use them and what to look out for)]

Not even the mighty golem team is safe from rank S. The weakest link

in this

team is Goldman, as his HP doesn't increase much, if at all, as you

gain

levels. If a strong attack kills him before they can form Mazin it's

all over.

In the first round the only thing you need to worry about is Goldman

dying as I


6/35

mentioned previously. Once Mazin is on the field you've pretty much

won the

match, as he is immune to Fuddle and Whack, and the Kasap doesn't

carry over to

the next match when the team breaks up into individuals. The second

round is

another story. Even if you form Mazin early on, the Gigantes canperform a

desperate attack that can knock off 300+ HP. If you're very unlucky he

can

perform it over and over again. I recall one time I ended the match

with less

than 100 HP. The final match depends on a great deal of luck (well,

actually

all the monster arena fights depend on luck, but this time in

particular even

more so). What surprised me is that Stoneman once performed a

desperate attack

against the Liquid Metal Slime that ending up killing it before they

even

formed Mazin. Even if by some miracle that does happen, you're not out

of the

woods just yet. The Hell Gladiator's attacks can put Mazin to sleep as

a side

effect. Since he can attack twice per round that doubles the chances

of that

happening. If you're unlucky (like I was) Mazin will keep falling

asleep while

the Hell Gladiator hacks him to pieces. If Mazin kills the Hell

Gladiator with

a desperate attack, you've pretty much won the match. The only

remaining

problem is dealing with the Liquid Metal Slime. Mazin's attacks deal 1

damage

(if they hit at all) to the metal slime. His desperate attack will

kill it

instantly though.

To recap, the golem team stands a very good chance of winning the S

rank unless

one of the following occurs:

1. Goldman is killed before Mazin can be formed.

2. The Gigantes does a desperate attack over and over again (super

cheese!).

3. Mazin keeps falling asleep when the Hell Gladiator attacks.

[Fight Fire With Fire]

Okay. This isn't an actual team, but I got the idea by seeing how

effective

Morrie's team was in the finals. Basically what you do is duplicate

the same

team that Morrie uses. This means forming a team with a healer, an ass

kicker,

and a metal slime. I figured that if that team worked well for him, it

might

work for me as well (and it turns out that I was right).

For the healer you can use either Curer or Octurion. I would highly

recommend

bringing Curer instead of Octurion. While Octurion has great healingspells, he


7/35

tends to forget that he's supposed to play a supporting role and

attacks over

and over again with multi thrust, while his teammates are taking

severe damage.

Curer can sometimes act like this as well, but what really sets him

apart from

Octurion is his high agility. Curer does a great job at evadingattacks. Not

only does this keep him alive to heal everyone, but also it makes

strong

enemies waste their attacks (hence keeping your allies healthy) trying

to hit

Curer.

For the ass kicker you have quite a bit of choices to choose from, but

Morrie's

choice is the one you'll probably want to use. Skeledoid is a Hell

Gladiator

just like Morrie's. It has the same two attacks each round that can

cause its

target to fall asleep. And yes, this works on the Hell Gladiator.

Talos might

work as well, but two attacks per round and sleep effects make

Skeledoid much

more attractive.

For the metal slime you'll probably want to use Metabble over Metaly,

since

Metaly has half the HP and Defense that Metabble does. If by some

miracle you

have Hev in your possession (like I do) use him instead as he has 10

HP

compared to Metabble's 6. It should be noted that the metal slimes

that you

encounter in the field have a defense score in the thousands (4000+ to

be

exact), while in the arena the defense tops out at 999 (for Hev). I

actually

had the Healslime hit Hev for one damage in the second round. How

embarrassing.

The main purpose of the metal slime is to divert attacks away from the

healer

and ass kicker. The metal slime will also join in the attack with

offensive

spells (Metabble casts Kasizzle, while Hev casts Kafrizzle). When the

metal

slime's HP gets low (about 50%) hopefully the healer (i.e. Curer) will

take

notice and restore them back to full health.

I'll assume for example's sake that you'll be using

Curer/Metabble/Skeledoid.

The strategy for each round is pretty much the same. Skeledoid will

attack

twice each round, hopefully putting one or more enemies to sleep.

Metabble will

cast Kasizzle or attack. Curer will attack, do nothing, or heal a

party member

(or the entire party) with Multiheal or Fullheal spells. When the

enemy team


8/35

attacks they'll either target Curer (who will hopefully dodge) or

Metabble

(which will hopefully miss). It's not too much of a problem if

Skeledoid gets

hit since he has a decent number of HP. The real problem is if he gets

killed

with a strong attack (like the Gigantes desperate attack) it's gameover. If

Curer gets killed early on you probably won't make it to the final

match. If

Curer gets killed in the final match you still have a chance to win as

long as

the Hell Gladiator concentrates on Metabble long enough for Skeletoid

to kill

him. It's interesting to note that metal slimes seem to have an easier

time

hitting other metal slimes with their attacks.

[The Popular Team]

One of the most popular teams currently seems to be the combination of

Talos,

Skeledoid, and Octurion. While theoretically this is a solid team,

personally I

haven't won a single Rank S match with them. It could be due to bad

luck, or it

could just be me. As long as Octurion heals consistently, Talos and

Skeledoid

should have no problem beating the competition. Unfortunately,

Octurion

sometimes (or in my case always) forgets to use Fullheal and starts

attacking

with multi thrust instead. This of course results in him getting

killed quite

fast, and once your primary healer is dead your other teammates are in

serious

trouble, especially against the Skeledoid in the final round.

| 5. Monster Locations |

O----------------------O

Note that certain monsters can only be found during the day or night,

and some

monsters appear in multiple locations. If you can't find a monster in

one

location try going to the next one.

[ALWAYS AVAILABLE]

These monsters are always available to recruit in the field regardless

of which

rank you're at. However, getting to some of them will require either a

ship or

the Godbird.

ARCHER (a.k.a. Sharpshooter)

Species: Bodkin Bowyer

Family: Humanoid

Experience: 46

Gold: 17Coin: Copper


9/35

Location: Between Maella Abbey and Ascantha Castle, area between two

mountain

ranges.

Teams: The Angry Archers, Not Quite Human

Comments: Archer is probably the best archer, but that's not saying

much. While

its multishot attack is useful, its only good for the early ranks.

ARCHFIEND (a.k.a. Arch-archdemon)

Species: Archdemon

Family: Demon

Experience: 466

Gold: 31

Coin: Gold

Location: West of Tryan Gully, on the southwest bridge.

Teams: Far From Heaven

Comments: With over 900 HP and the ability to cast Kaboom and

Insulate,

Archfiend makes a good addition to most teams.

ARGES (a.k.a. Big Blue Bully)

Species: Cyclops

Family: Demon

Experience: 346

Gold: 66

Coin: Silver

Location: East of Tryan Gully. You'll have to walk around

counterclockwise from

the bridge to get to him.

Teams: Club Club, Far From Heaven

Comments: Arges is a strong fighter to be sure, but by the time you

can recruit

him you can also recruit Brontes and Steropes, both of which are much

better.

BIG AL (a.k.a. Al Gee)

Species: King Kelp

Family: Aquatic

Experience: 181

Gold: 33

Coin: Copper

Location: Beach south of Argonia. (requires boat)

Teams: The Psyche Wards, The Aqua Marines

Comments: Big Al's primary attack is his song, which unfortunately

only hits

one enemy at a time. He's good for laughs but not much else.

BLIZAG JR. (a.k.a. Cold Fire)

Species: Frostburn

Family: Elemental

Experience: 224

Gold: 63

Coin: Copper

Location: Northeast of Orkutsk.

Teams: Demented Elements

Comments: Blizag Jr. knows the Thwack spell, which can kill an enemy

outright

if it's successful. This can be helpful in the lower ranks, but this

doesn't

affect opponents in the higher ranks. Blizag Jr. can also blow icybreath on


10/35

the entire enemy team.

BONES (a.k.a. Old Soldier)

Species: Skeleton

Family: Zombie

Experience: 173


Location: Southwest of the Dark Ruins.

Teams: The Blade Runners, The Zombebops

Comments: Bones is a pretty average attacker, alternating between

swinging his

sword or throwing his skull and casting Kazap on enemies.

BRICKMAN (a.k.a. Bricklayer)

Species: Golem

Family: Material

Experience: 275

Gold: 55

Coin: Silver

Location: Southeast of Peregrin Quay near some ruins.

Teams: My Three Golems, Materialistic

Comments: Brickman is a solid defensive player. He primary serves to

soak up

damage for your team while they attack. Most of the time he builds

tension, and

can do some damage once he lets lose with his attack. One of the three

members

of the My Three Golems team.

BRONTES (a.k.a. Gigantes Guardsman)

Species: Gigantes

Family: Demon

Experience: 381

Gold: 75

Coin: Gold

Location: West of Empycchu, east of the poison marsh. (Day only)

Teams: Two Eyes, Club Club, Far From Heaven

Comments: Brontes doesn't beat around the bush. He beats on people's

heads.

Pairs up with his stronger brethren Steropes to form the mighty Two

Eyes team.

BUSH-W. (a.k.a. Bushwhacker)

Species: Berserker

Family: Humanoid

Experience: 326

Gold: 83

Coin: Silver

Location: Small island in middle of lake north of the monster arena.

Teams: The Hackers, Not Quite Human

Comments: Bush-W. is a reliable attacker for your team, since that is

pretty

much all he does.

CLIO (a.k.a. Colossal Clione)

Species: See Angel

Family: Aquatic

Experience: 120

Gold: 40Coin: Silver


11/35

Location: Small island west of Empycchu, northwest of the poison

marsh.

Teams: The Aqua Marines

Comments: With spells like Acceleratle, Multiheal, and Zing, Clio

makes a great

support monster in the arena. Unfortunately, its low HP makes it

unsuitable forthe middle and higher ranks.

COWBOY (a.k.a. Buffalo Bill)

Species: Bullfinch

Family: Beast

Experience: 42

Gold: 21

Coin: Copper

Location: Road between Alexandria and the Tower of Alexandria.

Teams: Just Beastly

Comments: Cowboy is a fairly mediocre fighter. There are much better

choices

this early on in the arena.

DOLLDRUMS (a.k.a. Puppet Pugilist)

Species: Puppet Master

Family: Humanoid

Experience: 173

Gold: 56

Coin: Copper

Location: East of Empycchu.

Teams: Valentine's Day, Not Quite Human

Comments: Dolldrums casts a lot of spells, but none of them are

particularly

effective. His HP are too low for any serious combat in the arena.

DOUG (a.k.a. Mole Major)

Species: Mad Mole

Family: Beast

Experience: 106

Gold: 32

Coin: Copper

Location: North of Ascantha Castle, before the mole tunnel entrance.

Teams: Just Beastly

Comments: Doug alternates between building up tension and attacking.

This would

be effective if Doug were a strong fighter, but Doug's stats are

rather weak.

DUMBKING (a.k.a. King of Dumbira)

Species: Notso Macho

Family: Humanoid

Experience: 206

Gold: 71

Coin: Copper

Location: Southeast of Argonia, along the northern bank of the river

near the

outlet.

Teams: The Blade Runners, Not Quite Human

Comments: Dumbking is a fantastic addition to your team for the early

and

middle ranks. Not only can he perform a desperate attack, but he can

cast theOomph spell on your team members as well.


12/35

FAT CAT (a.k.a. Death Tabby)

Species: Jailcat

Family: Beast

Experience: 109

Gold: 38

Coin: CopperLocation: West of Red's house, in the forest on the west side of the

mountain

range.

Teams: Just Beastly

Comments: Fat Cat will spend its turns rolling around the ground,

purring, and

licking itself. Needless to say, this is not a winning strategy in the

arena.

FAUNUS (a.k.a. Fertiliser)

Species: Silenus

Family: Humanoid

Experience: 136

Gold: 66

Coin: Copper

Location: West of the Seaview Chapel.

Teams: The Fatal Attraction, Not Quite Human

Comments: If you don't mind waiting a while to start the monster

arena, Faunus

is a great choice for the early ranks. He can put enemies to sleep,

and his

sheep attack does loads of damage to the enemy team.

FLAMEMAN (a.k.a. Living Flame)

Species: Dancing Flame

Family: Elemental

Experience: 164

Gold: 44

Coin: Copper

Location: Near the Dragon Graveyard.


Comments: As you might expect, Flameman attacks the enemy team with

fire-based

attacks. As an elemental he has good resistance to magic, with the

exception of

ice based attacks.

FLETCH (a.k.a. Shortshooter)

Species: Bodkin Archer

Family: Humanoid

Experience: 36

Gold: 8

Coin: Copper

Location: Road west of Farebury, east of Trodain castle. (Day only)


Comments: Fletch is probably best as a part of The Angry Archers team,

where

his Buff and Kabuff spells can be put to good use.

FOWL FOWL (a.k.a. Raging Rooster)

Species: Fowlfighter

Family: Bird

Experience: 181Gold: 33


13/35

Coin: Copper

Location: Northeast of Baccarat. (Day only)

Teams: The Blade Runners, The Avian Attackers

Comments: Fowl Fowl is fairly weak as far as offensive monsters go,

and is only

good for the early ranks. He can attack twice in each turn and let out

a warcry that can make the enemy party members lose their turn.

GOLDMAN (a.k.a. Goldbricker)

Species: Gold Golem

Family: Material

Experience: 121

Gold: 239

Coin: Gold

Location: Neos, near town. (Day only)

Teams: The Treasure Hunters, My Three Golems, Materialistic

Comments: There isn't anything particularly special about Goldman, but

as a

golem he has high defense and resistance to most status effects. One

of the

three members of the My Three Golems team.

HACKZILLA (a.k.a. Axoraptor)

Species: Hacksaurus

Family: Dragon

Experience: 103

Gold: 31

Coin: Silver

Location: North of Farebury.

Teams: The Hackers, The Drag Racers

Comments: Hackzilla is a fantastic monster to recruit for the early

ranks, and

the fact that he keeps on improving as you gain levels makes him a

contender in

later ranks as well. While his regular attack is strong, he can

occasionally

hit an enemy with a double strike, or breathe fire on the entire enemy

team.

His fire attack isn't as impressive in later ranks, but his physical

attacks

are solid.

HEALER (a.k.a. Family Doctor)

Species: Healslime

Family: Slime

Experience: 44

Gold: 26

Coin: Copper

Location: Beach between the Tower of Alexandria and Port Prospect.

Teams: Slime Therapy, Trauma Centre, The King and Us, Wizards o' Z,

Slime Power

Comments: As his name implies, Healer spends most of his time healing

your team

with Heal and Midheal. This can benefit any team, but works

exceptionally well

in an all slime team.

HOODWINK (a.k.a. Hooded Hacker)

Species: HoodlumFamily: Humanoid


14/35

Experience: 213

Gold: 56

Coin: Gold

Location: West of Argonia Castle, by the T intersection north of the

lake.

(Night only)

Teams: The Hackers, Team Goodnight, Not Quite HumanComments: Hoodwink is a powerful, if unpredictable, attacker. He can

attack

several times per round, but spends most of them building tension or

trying to

blind the enemy team.

HORI (a.k.a. Slime Creator)

Species: King Slime

Family: Slime

Experience: 261

Gold: 103

Coin: Gold

Locations: 1.West of Argonia, east of the lake. 2.North of Argonia,

near road

going to Arcadia.

Teams: The Legends, Slime Power!

Comments: Hori is a decent fighter with the ability to heal your

teammates. One

of the members of The Legends team.

HORK (a.k.a. Old-school Drooler)

Species: Walking Corpse

Family: Zombie

Experience: 102

Gold: 36

Coin: Copper

Location: North of Red's house, southwest of the Swordsman's

Labyrinth.

Teams: The Zombebops

Comments: All Hork pretty much does is attack. While his HP and attack

grow

along with your hero's, his defense sadly does not.

JEWELBAG (a.k.a. Jewel Juggler)

Species: Goodybag

Family: Material

Experience: 89

Gold: 261

Coin: Silver

Location: Small island west of Maella Abbey.

Teams: The Treasure Hunters, The Psyche Wards, Happy Together,

Materialistic

Comments: Jewelbag spends most of its turns smiling, and can

occasionally do a

dance that causes an enemy to lose its turn. Other than that, don't

expect

Jewelbag to do much in battle.

KLUB KONG (a.k.a. Abominable Ape)

Species: Gorerilla

Family: Beast

Experience: 128



15/35


16/35

Species: Night Emperor

Family: Demon

Experience: 166

Gold: 89

Coin: Copper

Location: I shaped island east of Empycchu. (Night only)

Teams: Team Goodnight, Far From HeavenComments: Nightwing is one of the weaker demons in the game, but its

special

sweet breath attack can put the entire enemy team to sleep.

ORCUS (a.k.a. Wild Spearman)

Species: Orc King

Family: Beast

Experience: 151

Gold: 40

Coin: Copper

Location: Area south of the Seaview Church across the river.

Teams: The Javelinas, Just Beastly

Comments: An average attacker. Great for the lower ranks, and he can

cast Zing

on fallen team members.

PA TROLL (a.k.a. Troll Patroller)

Species: Boss Troll

Family: Demon

Experience: 466

Gold: 79

Coin: Gold

Location: Southwest of Dark Ruins, on high plateau. (requires Godbird)

Teams: Club Club, Far From Heaven

Comments: Pa Troll's 999 HP and high attack is balanced out by his

dismal

defense and agility. Still, if you start the monster arena late in the

game

(and I mean very late) Pa Troll can pretty much decimate the lower

ranks. While

he can perform a desperate attack, his attacks frequently miss.

POTBELLY (a.k.a. Potty Dragon)

Species: Jargon

Family: Dragon

Experience: 374

Gold: 53

Coin: Silver

Location: Peninsula southwest of Trodain Castle.

Teams: The Drag Racers

Comments: Potbelly is a great monster for the lower ranks considering

how early

you can get it. It has a breath attack like Hackzilla, and can blind

the enemy

team with its sand attack.

ROBORG (a.k.a. Roboster Mk I)

Species: Killing Machine

Family: Machine

Experience: 351

Gold: 35

Coin: Silver

Location: Ravine south of Orkutsk.Teams: The Blade Runners, Clank and Spank, Triple Trouble


17/35

Comments: Roborg complements any offensive team well since it can

attack twice

in a row and is immune to many status effects. Among its many moves is

a high-

powered laser that can hit the entire enemy party, a powerful slashing

attack,

and an ice based slash attack. One of the three members of thepowerful killing

machine team.

ROBSTER (a.k.a. Little Nipper)

Species: Yabby

Family: Aquatic

Experience: 64

Gold: 27

Coin: Copper

Location: Beach south of Ascantha.

Teams: The Aqua Marines

Comments: Robster's primary skill is its ability to drain MP from the

enemy

team. This is unfortunate, since Robster has no abilities or spells to

use them

with.

SAGITTARI (a.k.a. Poisonous Sniper)

Species: Bodkin Fletcher

Family: Humanoid

Experience: 83

Gold: 26

Coin: Copper

Location: North of Arcadia on the road.


Comments: Sagittari's most interesting feature is that he can use a

multishot

attack that can possibly poison the entire enemy party.

SALSA (a.k.a. Pelvic Thruster)

Species: Redtail Hipster

Family: Demon

Experience: 116

Gold: 49

Coin: Copper

Location: Southwest of Pickham.

Teams: Far From Heaven

Comments: Salsa has a spin attack that does loads of damage to the

enemy team

in the early ranks. Unfortunately, he's just as likely to do a dance

that has

no effect.

SCORPIUS (a.k.a. Sand Slayer)

Species: Scorpion

Family: Bug

Experience: 100

Gold: 16

Coin: Copper

Location: West of Red's house, east of the mountains. (Day only)

Teams: None

Comments: Scorpius can poison enemies with its attack, which is great

for theearly ranks.


18/35

SIPPY (a.k.a. Pain in the Neck)

Species: Dracky

Family: Bird

Experience: 30

Gold: 3

Coin: CopperLocation: Southeast of the lumberjack's cabin south of Farebury.

(Night only)

Teams: The Drack Pack, The Avian Attackers

Comments: Sippy is just an ordinary Dracky, unless you combine him

with Slurpy

and Sugi to form The Drack Pack team.

SLIME SHADY (a.k.a. Gloopy Groupie)

Species: Slime

Family: Slime

Experience: 73

Gold: 1

Coin: Copper

Location: Near the tip of the mountains at the midpoint between

Rydon's Tower

and the tunnel to Orkutsk (if you drew a line between the two).

Teams: Slime Time, The Slime Squad, Slime Power!

Comments: Will the real Slime Shady please stand up? Slime Shady is

pretty much

your average slime, unless you put him in The Slime Squad team.

SLIMEHOPPER (a.k.a. One Knight Stand)

Species: Slime Knight

Family: Slime

Experience: 28

Gold: 15

Coin: Copper

Location: Northwest of the lumberjack's house south of Farebury, in

the forest.

Teams: The Fatal Attraction, The Nightriders, Slime Power!, The Blade

Runners

Comments: There isn't anything special about Slimehopper, except that

he can

mix and match between no less than four teams.

SLURPY (a.k.a. All Day Sucker)

Species: Dracky

Family: Bird

Experience: 138

Gold: 23

Coin: Copper

Location: Near the Mystical Spring. (Night only)

Teams: The Drack Pack, The Avian Attackers

Comments: Slurpy is pretty much an ordinary Dracky, but he's also one

of three

members of The Drack Pack team.

SMILES (a.k.a. Slimy Smiley)

Species: Slime

Family: Slime

Experience: 40

Gold: 1

Coin: CopperLocation: South of Trodain Castle.


19/35

Teams: Slime Time, The Slime Squad, Slime Power

Comments: One of the initial monsters on your team. Smiles has no

special moves

whatsoever and is very weak, but as a part of "The Slime Squad" team

can

transform into Ultrus, the ultimate slime.

SNAP CASE (a.k.a. Man-eater Chest)

Species: Cannibox

Family: Material

Experience: 110

Gold: 33

Coin: Copper

Location: Area southwest of Trodain castle, area north of the

southwest path

leading to the castle.

Teams: Materialistic

Comments: Snap Case is great for the first few ranks since he has high

attack

and can attack twice each turn. His lack of HP and defense becomes an

issue

with later ranks though.

SQUIGGLES (a.k.a. Squiggly Squiggler)

Species: Khalamari Kid

Family: Aquatic

Experience: 48

Gold: 9

Coin: Copper

Location: Beach south of Pickham, southeast of Red's house.

Teams: Club Club, The Aqua Marines

Comments: One of the initial monsters on your team, and sadly also the

weakest

in the game. Squiggles spends most of its turns doing absolutely

nothing, which

is rather detrimental to your team.

TRICK BAG (a.k.a. Bundle of Joy)

Species: Bag O' Laughs

Family: Material

Experience: 92

Gold: 32

Coin: Copper

Location: Area northwest of the desert chapel.

Teams: The Psyche Wards, Materialistic

Comments: Trick Bag is a fairly weak monster that casts spells such as

Frizz

and Fizzle, and occasionally does a dance to drain MP from enemies.

TWIGGY (a.k.a. Root of Evil)

Species: Treeface

Family: Plant

Experience: 78

Gold: 39

Coin: Copper

Location: Forest southeast of Simpletown, south of the road midway to

the

bridge to the east.

Teams: None

Comments: Twiggy can heal other team members by using a medicinalherb. He can


20/35

also drain MP from an enemy by doing a dance. If you're looking for a

support

character there are much better choices out there.

[AFTER RANK F]

These monsters become available to recruit in the field after clearingrank F

in the arena.

CAPERS (a.k.a Fantom of Chopera)

Species: Phantom Fencer

Family: Zombie

Experience: 219

Gold: 39

Coin: Gold

Location: Southwest of Ascantha Castle, on the path to Wisher's Peak.

(Night

only)

Teams: Team Goodnight, The Blade Runners, The Zombebops

Comments: Capers is a solid attacker, and you can get him relatively

early on.

His special move is a powerful lightning slash.

CURER (a.k.a. Angle of Curing)

Species: Cureslime

Family: Slime

Experience: 309

Gold: 72

Coin: Silver

Location: 1. Forest north of Arcadia. 2. Near chapel north of Rydon's

tower.

Teams: Slime Therapy, Trauma Centre, The King and Us, Wizards o' Z,

Slime Power

Comments: Curer is similar to Healer, except that he uses the more

powerful

Multiheal and Fullheal spells. Works well in most teams, especially

with an all

slime team.

HAZEL (a.k.a. Femme Fatale)

Species: Witch

Family: Demon

Experience: 188

Gold: 68

Coin: Copper

Location: Northwest of Red's house, area north of the mountain range.

Teams: The Fatal Attraction, The Psyche Wards, Far From Heaven

Comments: Hazel has the unique ability to raise her tension to 50 in

one turn.

Unfortunately, she usually follows up by casting a spell like Fizzle,

or doing

the Puff-Puff. Hazel can complete two funky teams: The Fatal

Attraction and The

Psyche Wards.

METALY (a.k.a. Quick Silver)

Species: Metal Slime

Family: Slime



21/35

Coin: Gold

Locations: 1. West of Alexandria south of bridge. 2. Area south of the

Tower of

Alexandria. 3. Area northeast of Alexandria. 4. Northeast of Port

Prospect.

Teams: Slime Time, Slime Therapy, Metal Power, Trauma Centre, The

Metal Mob,Full Metal Power, Slime Power

Comments: Catching Metaly can be somewhat of a pain since he runs away

from you

(rather quickly I might add) before the fight even starts. When you do

defeat

him you'll have a 3 HP metal slime on your team (with 400+ defense).

If you

have an all slime team Metaly makes a great addition since his HP

doubles.

ORRID (a.k.a. Ochre Ogre)

Species: Buffalogre

Family: Beast

Experience: 261

Gold: 103

Coin: Silver

Location: Southeast of Empycchu.

Teams: The Dynamic Duo, Just Beastly

Comments: Orrid is a powerful attacker and builds up tension to

unleash a

powerful blow. His defense is a bit too low for the upper rank

competitions

though. One part of the Dynamic Duo team along with Spike.

SEASAW (a.k.a. Terror Talons)

Species: Riptide

Family: Humanoid

Experience: 227

Gold: 80

Coin: Copper

Location: Small island northeast of Farebury.

Teams: Not Quite Human

Comments: Seasaw is a decent attacker that can use a spin attack to

hit the

entire enemy team. He also can cast Whack to instantly kill an enemy.

Unfortunately, this isn't as effective in the higher ranks, as most of

the

enemies there are immune to it.

SPIKE (a.k.a. Muscly Mohawk)

Species: Mohawker

Family: Beast

Experience: 199

Gold: 88

Coin: Silver

Location: Area west of Red's house, west of the mountain range.

Teams: The Dynamic Duo, Just Beastly

Comments: The second half of the Dynamic Duo team along with Orrid.

While not

as strong as Orrid, Spike can cast Multiheal in battle, which is

important

since both of them have rather low defense.

[AFTER RANK D]


22/35


23/35

JOCKEY (a.k.a. Bone Racer)

Species: Skullrider

Family: Demon

Experience: 169

Gold: 108

Coin: CopperLocation: Southeast of Dragon Graveyard.

Teams: The Blade Runners, The Nightriders, Far From Heaven

Comments: Jockey is a decent fighter that can attack twice in a turn.

He can

occasionally perform a fire slash, and sometimes causes an enemy to

lose a

turn.

TALOS (a.k.a. Crazed Colossus)

Species: Living Statue

Family: Material

Experience: 226

Gold: 109

Coin: Silver

Location: Neos, south of town.

Teams: Materialistic

Comments: Unlike most monsters, Talos doesn't improve as your hero

gains

levels. On the other hand, Talos is great right out of the box so to

speak.

With 800 HP and high attack and defense, Talos will last a long time

in the

arena, even in the A and S ranks. Better yet, Talos does nothing but

attack or

stomp on enemies, so you can have peace of mind if you put him on your

team.

TORCHMAN (a.k.a. Living Torch)

Species: Dancing Flame

Family: Elemental

Experience: 365

Gold: 123

Coin: Copper

Location: 1. East of Desert Chapel. 2. South of Desert Chapel.


Comments: Torchman is basically an upgraded version of Flameman. His

fire

attacks are much more powerful and can do some real damage to the

enemy party.

TORI (a.k.a. Slime Designer)

Species: Slime

Family: Slime

Experience: 54

Gold: 1

Coin: Gold

Locations: 1. North of Empycchu. 2. Southwest of Empycchu, south of

the small

lake.

Teams: Slime Time, The Slime Squad, Slime Power!, The Legends

Comments: Tori is a part of The Slime Squad and The Legends team, but

other

than that there isn't anything particularly exciting about him.


24/35

[AFTER RANK B]

These monsters become available to recruit in the field after clearing

rank B

in the arena.

METABBLE (a.k.a. Metal Babble)Species: Liquid Metal Slime

Family: Slime

Experience: 1010

Gold: 18

Coin: Gold

Locations: 1. Small island west of Maella Abby. 2. Small I shaped

island east

of Empycchu. 3. Area east of Godbird's Eyrie. (requires Godbird) 4.

Southwest

of Empycchu, west of the mountain range on small island (does not

appear on

map).

Teams: Metal Power, The Metal Mob, Wizards o' Z, Mega Metal Maniacs,

Slime

Power!

Comments: Good luck finding Metabble. He can appear in four possible

locations,

and sometimes he may not even appear at all. When/if you do get him on

your

team, you'll find that he can be quite useful. Metabble only has 6 HP,

but

that's more than compensated by his defense, which is 700+. If you can

get him

on an all slime team his HP jumps to a whopping 12. As you might

expect from

liquid metal Metabble is quite fast, attacking twice each turn. He can

also

cast fire-based spells such as Kasizzle, giving him some offensive

punch as

well.

NOHI (a.k.a. Killer Director)

Species: Killing Machine

Family: Machine

Experience: 496

Gold: 118

Coin: Gold

Locations: 1. Area south of the Dragon Graveyard (requires Godbird).

2. Island

in center of lake south of Ascantha (requires Godbird). In both

locations Nohi

only appears at night.

Teams: The Blade Runners, Clank and Spank, The Legends, Triple Trouble

Comments: Nohi is the final and most powerful of the killing machines.

Paired

with Roborg and Cybot to form the Triple Trouble team, the killing

machine team

is capable of taking on all comers in the arena.

OCTURION (a.k.a. Octavius Maximus)

Species: Octavian Sentry

Family: Aquatic



25/35

Coin: Silver

Location: Beach south of Argonia Castle.

Teams: The Javelinas, The Aqua Marines

Comments: With the ability to cast Fullheal and Zing, Octurion can

keep a team

healthy throughout the toughest battle. Its special move is a multi

thrustattack that randomly hits enemies. Be warned however that sometimes

Octurion

forgets to heal completely and keeps attacking in battle.

SKELEDOID (a.k.a. Man-at-arms)

Species: Hell Gladiator

Family: Zombie

Experience: 373

Gold: 99

Coin: Gold

Location: Southwest of the Dark Ruins. He's in the west most valley on

the

island where the Dark Ruins are.

Teams: The Blade Runners, Club Club, The Zombebops

Comments: Arguably one of the best monsters in the game, Skeledoid is

an

offensive powerhouse. It can attack twice per round with its swords,

and each

attack has a chance to put the enemy to sleep. Its stats are great to

boot, so

it's a contender for the A and S ranks.

STEROPES (a.k.a. Gigantes Gangster)

Species: Gigantes

Family: Demon

Experience: 398

Gold: 103

Coin: Silver

Location: West side of Princess Minnie's Castle.

Teams: Two Eyes, Club Club, Far From Heaven

Comments: Steropes, like Talos, is pure offensive goodness. His normal

attacks

are powerful and his desperate attacks are icing on the cake. He can

form a

special team with his weaker brethren Brontes.

STONEMAN (a.k.a. Stonemason)

Species: Stone Golem

Family: Material

Experience: 388

Gold: 63

Coin: Silver

Location: Southwest of the Dark Ruin on hill. It's the same hill that

you can

find Pa Troll on. Pa Troll should be located on the southeast tip of

that hill.

If you look at the map you can see a circular plateau on that hill.

From where

Pa Troll is head northwest to that plateau and go around it counter

clockwise.

On the other side you should run into Stoneman. (requires Godbird)

Teams: My Three Golems, Materialistic

Comments: The final and strongest member of the golem team. You won'tget him


26/35

until much later in the game, but when you do you'll be able to form

the My

Three Golems team with Brickman and Goldman. This team is powerful

enough to

win the rank S battle, so if you're interested be sure to collect them

all.

SUGI (a.k.a. Shadow Conductor)

Species: Dracky

Family: Bird

Experience: 345

Gold: 68

Coin: Gold

Location: 1. Southwest of the Dark Ruins on a high plateau. (requires

Godbird,

Night only) 2. Area east of Godbird's Eyrie. (requires Godbird, Night

only)

Teams: The Drack Pack, The Avian Attackers, The Legends

Comments: Sugi's main claim to fame is that he's a part of The Drack

Pack and

The Legends team. Other than that there isn't anything special about

him.

[CLEAR GAME]

These monsters become available to recruit in the field after clearing

the

game.

BISHOP (a.k.a. Wight Highpriest)

Species: Wight Priest

Family: Zombie

Experience: 458

Gold: 103

Coin: Silver

Location: East of Simpleton. If you look at the map you can see two

roads

leading out of Simpleton. The roads join together into one road to the

east.

Bishop is located near that eastern road to the north nearby. I think

he was

wandering about in a small depression. I've heard that he also might

be located

to the south of that road instead of the north, but I haven't

confirmed that.

(Night only)

Teams: The Zombebops

Comments: Bishop can cast the Kaboom spell, which can really do a lot

of damage

in the lower ranks.

FRILLSAUR (a.k.a. Jumbo Dilophosaur)

Species: Frou-frou

Family: Dragon

Experience: 471

Gold: 71

Coin: Gold

Location: West of Tryan Gully, forest north of the bridge. (Day only)

Teams: The Drag Racers

Comments: Frillsaur is a strong attacker, but Talos has a higherdefense, which


27/35

makes him more attractive in the long run.

GRYPHUS (a.k.a. Gryphon General)

Species: War Gryphon

Family: Bird

Experience: 526

Gold: 59Coin: Gold

Location: West of Argonia Castle, northwest of the lake on a high

plateau.

(requires Godbird, Day only)

Teams: The Avian Attackers

Comments: Gryphus is definitely a team player and can cast Kabuff on

your

entire party, sometimes twice in a row. He can also breathe fire like

Hackzilla. Gryphus' ability to boost the defense of your entire team

goes a

long way in the arena, since its effects last into the next match.

HEV (a.k.a. Heavy Metal)

Species: Metal King Slime

Family: Slime

Experience: 543

Gold: 165

Coin: Gold

Location: South of Trodain Castle near the lake. (see comments below)

Teams: The King and Us, Full Metal Power, Mega Metal Maniacs, The

Metal Mob,

Slime Power!

Comments: Finishing the game is only one requirement on getting Hev to

appear.

When you load the clear game save a new area will become available on

the map.

It's located east of Chateau Felix on a high plateau accessible only

by air.

Examine the stone marker on the altar and you will appear in the land

of

Dragovians. It's an optional dungeon area that has many powerful

enemies. If

you manage to clear that you can access a secret town, where you can

access yet

another optional dungeon with even more powerful enemies. Survive all

that and

you have the pleasure of fighting an incredibly powerful boss.

Defeating the

boss allows you to access the "good ending" when you defeat

Rhapthorne. But

we're still not done yet. You can go back through the trial dungeon

and fight

the boss again. Every time you fight the boss he assumes an even

stronger form.

But each time you defeat him he will give you a special prize from a

list.

These include an upgrade to the alchemy pot that allows it to create

items

instantly, a unique sword for the hero that can be combined with the

liquid

metal sword via alchemy to create the most powerful sword in the game,

a unique

armor, helmet, and shield for the hero (which when all three arecombines

O------------------O

Note that special team deathmoves and bonuses are cumulative if they

meet all

of the conditions. For example, The Metal Mob team has the deathmove

Multi

Masher (for having all the metal slimes) and Magic Burst (for havingtwo metal

slimes in the group), in addition to having the Slime Power! team

bonus of

double max HP (all three members are slimes).

Comment: If Cybot, Nohi, and Roborg are in the team, the team becomes

the

Triple Threat team instead.

Description: All team members have clubs.

Deathmove: Mind Breaker All team members attack one enemy, and that

enemy

loses their turn.

Team Bonus: None

Possible Team Members: Arges, Brontes, Klub Kong, Pa Troll, Skeledoid,

Squiggles, Steropes

Name: Demented Elements

Description: All team members are of the element family.

Nightwing, Pa

Troll, Salsa, Steropes

Deathmove: Magic Burst Hev and Metaly expend all remaining MP to

deal heavy

damage to all enemies.

Team Bonus: If the third member of the team is of the slime family,

all team

members' max HP is doubled.

Team Members: Hev, Metaly

Comment: This deathmove is quite detrimental in the arena, as itcompletely


30/35

drains all the MP from both metal slimes. Outside of the arena it's

quite

effective with the Call Team ability.

Name: Happy Together

Description: Team includes Jewelbag and Trick Bag.

Deathmove: NoneTeam Bonus: None

Comments: This particular team has no effect at all. It's just for the

amusing

description. =)

Name: Just Beastly

Description: All team members are of the beast family.

Deathmove: None

Team Bonus: All team members attack is increased by 15.

Possible Team Members: Bladewolf, Cowboy, Doug, Fat Cat, Klub Kong,

Orcus,

Orrid, Spike, Spot

Name: Materialistic

Description: All team members are of the material family.

Deathmove: None

Team Bonus: Team fights an additional turn with the Call Team ability.

Possible Team Members: Brickman, Goldman, Jewelbag, Lonely Joe, Snap

Case,

Stoneman, Talos, Trick Bag

Comments: If Brickman, Goldman, and Stoneman are together as a team,

they form

the My Three Golems team instead. If Jewelbag and Trick Bag are in the

team,

the team becomes the Happy Together team. If Goldman and Jewelbag are

in the

team, the team becomes The Treasure Hunters team.

Name: Mega Metal Maniacs

Description: Team includes Hev and Metabble

Deathmove: Magic Burst Hev and Metabble expend all remaining MP to

deal very

heavy damage to all enemies.

Team Bonus: If the third team member is of the slime family, all team

members'

max HP is doubled.

Team Members: Hev, Metabble

Comments: This deathmove is the same as the one used in the Full Metal

Power

team, except it deals much more damage.

Name: Metal Power

Description: Team members include Metabble and Metaly.

Deathmove: Magic Burst Metabble and Metaly expend all remaining MP

to deal

damage to all enemies.

Team Bonus: If the third team member is of the slime family, all team

members'

max HP is doubled.

Team Members: Metabble, Metaly

Name: My Three Golems

Description: All team members are golems.


31/35

Deathmove: The Golemator All three golems fuse into the mighty

Mazin.

Team Bonus: None

Team Members: Brickman, Goldman, Stoneman

Comments: While having three golems makes for a powerful defensive

team the

real draw here is their deathmove The Golemator, which fuses all threegolems

into the monstrous mega golem Mazin. Mazin has 999 HP, very high

attack and

defense, is immune to just about every status effect, and his critical

attack

can kill most enemies in one blow. The best part is that when Mazin

wins the

match, all golems on the team recover their HP in the next battle. If

Mazin

dies the entire team is defeated, but that's a small risk in

comparison to the

power that Mazin offers. If you're pondering which team to take into

the final

rank, consider what the golem team has to offer.

Name: Not Quite Human

Description: All team members are of the humanoid family.

Deathmove: None

Team Bonus: All team members' max HP is increased by 15.

Possible Team Members: Archer, Bush-W., Dolldrums, Dumbking, Faunus,

Fletch,

Deathmove: None

Team Bonus: All team members max HP is doubled.

Possible Team Members: Curer, Healer, Hev, Hori, Metabble, Metaly,

Slime Shady,

Slimehopper, Smiles, Tori

Comments: This is a very flexible team due to the fact that any team

completely

composed of slimes gains the benefits of this team in addition to any

special

team they might form. Works well with metal slimes due to their

impressive

defense but low HP.

Name: Slime Therapy

Description: Two team members from the list below.

Deathmove: Multiheal Restores about 100 HP to the entire team and

party.

Team Bonus: If all team members are of the slime family, max HP is

doubled.

Possible Team Members: Curer, Healer, Metaly

Comments: Multiheal heals the party when used with the Call Team

ability, so

it's a great way to heal in the field or dungeons.

Name: Slime Time

Description: Team consists of Metaly and two normal slimes.

Deathmove: Slime Spank All team members attack a single foe, doing

50% moredamage than usual.


32/35

50%

more damage than normal.

Team Bonus: None

Possible Team Members: Bones, Capers, Cybot, Dumbking, Foul Fowl,

Jockey,

Lonely Joe, Nohi, Roborg, Skeledoid, Slimehopper

Comments: This might seem like a powerful deathmove, but in practice

it's not

all that it's cracked up to be. In fact if your team has monsters that

can

attack twice (like the killing machines), it's actually detrimental to

use this

team since they end up doing less damage than if they were allowed to

attack

individual targets.

Comments: Unlike the Triple Swords deathmove, the Stream Killer Attack
