#DAYGAME MASTERY AND MINDSET MONSTER REVIEW FULL#
Spectral Lion is, for the most part, a decent alternative to Catzerker, with access to Forge and both the Claws and Shred attacks to take full advantage of Bleed stacking.Įach Spectral Familiar has its own strengths and weaknesses, which need to be taken into account when giving them a weapon. Spectral Wolf and Eagle are particularly devastating when it comes to dealing high damage, while Toad acts like a replacement for Grummy if you would prefer a giant frog instead of whatever the hell Grummy is. It should go without saying, but no matter which Spectral Familiar you begin the game with, you should invest in using them for most of the game.

With that in mind, equipping Frosty with weapons like Wands, Orbs, and Staffs go a long way to ensuring players get the most out of their Frosty. Found in the Blue Caves, Frosty is one of the earlier monsters that can be obtained that is capable of inflicting the Chill debuff, though its main use is not in taking advantage of the Congeal ability since it can't learn it itself. It's more in using multi-target attacks to stack on the Chill debuff for other monsters.įrosty may be best utilized for its ability to inflict Chill on just about everything, but that doesn't mean that it can't dish out some massive damage when it needs to, particularly when paired with other monsters that utilize Chill. When it comes to inflicting this debuff, Frosty may not be the best, but it is definitely a good early game option. Of all the debuffs in the game, Chill may be the most useful due to its ability to halt Mana regeneration for the opposition, preventing them from using their more powerful attacks. The Orb is also a decent option if players are worried about Mana Regen, but at higher levels and with the right perks taken, this isn't much of an issue. LIke Catzerker, Manticorb's best assets are its damage output when combined with its high Critical Chance, which makes the Staff weapons the best option for sheer damage output. Its Dark Shifted form also has the Critical Apex ability that boosts its Critical Chance if it uses attacks that hit more frequently, which all of its best attacks do while also inflicting debuffs like Shock, Burn, and Armor Break. Manticorb functions like a Magic-based version of Catzerker, with high damage output and Critical Chance, it can deal a lot of damage very quickly if left unchecked. However, once you have obtained the double jump boots, it is worth making a beeline back here to obtain it as it is the only place in the game where it spawns. This elusive monster can be seen fleeing into a hidden area high above what is reachable in the Mountain Path. The Katar is the best option in this regard, as it increases Catzerker's already great attack and Critical Chance to obscene levels. Like Vaero, Catzerker can be found in the Mountain Path.Ĭatzerker's main strength is how easy it is able to land critical hits, so ensuring its equipment makes its job even easier should be the first step for monster tamers.

While it is severely lacking in the HP and Defense department, when combined with a decent shielder or its Dark Shifted ability, Assault Shield (which adds a shield based on 25% of a critical hit's damage), this becomes a non-issue. Related: 10 Other Metroidvania Games To Play After You Beat Bloodstained Ritual Of The Night This is where Catzerker comes into play, with great Attack, Critical Chance, and Critical Damage, as well as both single and multi-target attacks that can inflict bleed stacks, it's a monster that is useful all the way through the game. Vaero and Grummy are both great support monsters, but they need someone to help dish out damage after all their buffing and debuffing. For weapons, the only real option is a Wand, which increases both defense and magic a fair degree. Grummy can be found in both the Blue Caves and Stronghold Dungeon.Īlthough Grummy can deal out some serious damage and be an all-around pain with its status inflicting moves, the best items to equip them with are ones that increase their defense and magical damage, as it is a monster that player will want to stick around as long as possible. Grummy's Dark Shifted form also grants it Debuff Mastery, which allows additional stacks of Armor Break, Poison, or Burn that either Grummy or G'rulu can inflict fairly easily. Its best use, however, may be in its evolved form G'rulu, where it gains Fire damage and a considerable boost to its HP and Magic stats at the cost of some Mana. On top of this, it is also one of the better healers and shielders in the game with both Restore and Shield at its disposal. Where Vaero excels in buffing the team, Grummy's strengths are in its ability to inflict debuffs and remove buffs from the opposing monsters.
