Monster Legends

Introduction of Gold

Gold is the most important currency in the game, keeping your gold income in high rate will make you become a successful player. Gold can be earned by several ways:

Collecting from habitats; →Your main source of gold!
Selling items, monsters, eggs;
Clearing meteorites & rubbles, you can also get food or gems from them;
Winning it in the daily reward;
Dragon Market, where you can collect food / gold. The higher amount of friends helping you, the higher resource you'll get.

Earning Gold effectively

To earn big gold in short time, you will have to: Farming (collecting habitats), or Stealing (from other players). In this guide, we will be only focusing on the defensive way - the farming gold from habitats.
Every player collects gold from their habitats, but there are some tips that will make you earn gold more and faster.

Earth habitat notifies its gold for player to collect.

Collect when the habitat notifies.

Often collect gold from habitats
Remember to collect your gold very regularly. As soon as a habitat filled with 25% of the capacity, it will notify with icon, and you should collect it.
Make a bunch of Pandakens or Dragonian Beast. They have good GPM (Gold per minute).
The best way to breed Pandaken is to simply use Firesaur + Treezard.
+ = or
If you get Pandaken, hatch it and place it into a nature habitat. If you get Greenasaur, just sell it for gold. The breeding/hatching time is very fast so you can try until you have a lot of Pandaken.
The best way to breed Dragonian Beast is to simply use Rockilla + Treezard.
+ = or or
If you get Dragonian Beast, hatch it and place it into a nature habitat. If you get Tarzape/Rarawr, just sell it for gold. The breeding/hatching time is very fast so you can try until you have a lot of Dragonian Beast.

Level 4 Nature Habitat

Make use of Nature habitats
Nature habitat is the best habitat, it has low costs, fast build/upgrade time, and decent capacity.
→ We recommend the upgrading to around 7 - 8 of level 4 Nature habitats. It can hold up to 30,000 and 3 slots for Pandakens/Dragonian Beasts. This will optimize the space in your island for other type of habitats. Of course if you don't have enough space, you can have less Nature habitats.
Level up all your monsters EVENLY
Try to keep your farming monsters as even as possible.
For Ex: If you have ~30,000 , you can make 3 x Pandakens Lv.10; or 12 x Pandakens Lv.8; or 24 x Pandakens Lv.7

GPM & Food usage per level of Pandaken & Dragonian Beast.
- 3 x level 10 Pandakens → 03 x 64 = 192 /min. (Dragonian Beasts make 03 x 84 = 252 /min)
- 12 x level 8 Pandakens → 12 x 52 = 624 /min. (Dragonian Beasts make 12 x 68 = 816 /min)
- 24 x level 7 Pandakens → 24 x 46 = 1,104 /min. (Dragonian Beasts make 24 x 60 = 1,440 /min)
→ We recommend there should be around 21 x monsters Lv.7 placed in 7 - 8 Nature habitats Lv.4
Figure the optimal GPM (level) of your monster
GPM & Food usage per level of Pandaken & Dragonian Beast.
The optimal level (GPM) that cost you the least food but also high GPM is in the blue zone (~ 2,500 - 5,000 per monster). Later when your economic grows stronger, you should level up them the second time into the lighter blue zone.

Strategy of Pandakens & Nature habitats

An example of a Pandaken farm in Monster Legends.

Step 1: Build a bunch of Nature habitats

Make 6 x nature habitats and upgrade them to level 2 (only 1 minute upgrade time), you can upgrade them to level 4 in future.
This step costs: (250 + 2,500) x 6 = 16,500

Step 2: Breed a bunch of Pandakens/Dragonian Beasts

Make 12 x Pandakens to fill in 6 x built nature habitats. Try to feed EVENLY all 12 Pandakens with the current Food you have.
Read more our Food Guide to estimate amount of food usage for each monster.

GPM & Food usage per level of Pandaken & Dragonian Beast.

Step 3: Increase your gold income

When you have more food, try to make them at least level 7. See the table below and try to manage how often you should collect the gold.
In the mean time, upgrade all your Nature habitats to level 3. Try to build 1-2 more Nature habitat if you can. The total of 7-8 Nature habitat should work best!
This step costs: 16,000 x 6 = 96,000

, extra cost for 2 extra Nature habitats is 37,500

Relativeness of Average Revenue and The Collect Period in Nature habitats.

Explain of the table: The number of is the average revenue of each monster in its habitat.
For example, if you're using Nature habitat Lv 2, and have Pandakens at levels 7 (46

/min) → You'll need to collect it in every 2.5 hours (between the 54 & 36 value).
In other case, if you're using all Nature habitats Lv 3, often play game in every 3-4 hours → You'll should have all Pandakens at revenue between 44 - 52

/min → So they should be level 7 (46

/min) or level 8 (52

/min).
The table is ultimate! You can use other good monsters, such as Erpham, Rhynex, Rabidex, ... Just make sure you calculate & adjust to have the average revenue correctly.
Try to distribute your time evenly between the play times, it will maximize your earning. The more often you collect, the more gold you'll earn.

Step 4: Upgrade your Nature habitats to level 4

When you have 7-8 of level 3 Nature habitats with 12 x level 7 Pandakens, you should be earning 150,000

every 3-4 hours. If you're active and collect them regularly (every 3-4 hours, 5 - 7 times a day), you will earn 750,000 - 1,100,000

per day. Leveling up all your Nature habitats to level 4 will cost you 8 x 5,000 = 40,000

. And making 8 more Pandakens to fill in will cost you 8 x 1,260 = 10,080

. It's a lot for new players, but it will increase your income by 40% - 50%, that means you will earn 1.1M - 1.5M

per day.
This is the suitable time for you to breed Legendary monsters as you can afford 5M

Legendary habitat.

Further Steps: Anything!

If you reach this step, you're definitely a strong player. So feel free to level up monsters, upgrade habitats, build the boosters, etc... Do anything that you need to. Be advised that don't over feed your monsters, your habitats will be full sooner than you can collect and waste gold.

Some examples of successful players

An example of successful combine of Pandakens & Rhynexes.

Island of Kimsan Sappal. Later he also switched Pandakens into Rhynex, which gives him even more gold.

An example of successful Pandakens farm.

Island of Pierre-Olivier Angers. He got a very large Pandakens farm, showing us the power of number!

What is Food?

Food is used for feeding your monsters in order for them to gain experience and increase level. The higher level, the stronger your monsters will be. Food is also used for upgrading certain buildings. Food is important thing that should be collected every-day, every-hour.
Food

is produced in the Farms which can be upgraded to unlock more crops that even produce larger amount of Food.
Other ways to obtain Food are:

Monster Market.
Receive as a gift from friends.
Receive via mystery eggs.
Receive when a friend visits and clicks at your Farms.
Complete certain goals.
Daily bonus.
Buy with gems.

On collecting your crops, you also earn XP

with a ratio of 0.5→1.0

per

Crops

Before, crops grow time were 30 secs/ 5 mins/ 30 mins/ 2 hours/ 6 hours/ 12 hours/ 1 day/ 1 day 12 hours/ 2 days.
On Game Update 23/10/2013, new grow time are 30 secs/ 5 mins/ 30 mins/ 30 mins/ 45 mins/ 1 hour/ 30 mins/ 45 mins/ 1 hour.

Monster Growth Food Per Level

Leveling your monsters will require an increased amount of food, but the number of times you need to feed them to level up is always 4. So the amount of food needed to level up is 4 times the number of food per click.

Elements in Breeding

Monster Legend Breeding Opposite Elements

Elements in Combat

Elements from Monster Legends are very different from Dragon City, there is no primary nor secondary element.
If the enemy monster has 2 elements, the system will use both elements as the following priority:

If one of them resists to the Attacking Element => WEAK damage (weak - 50%),
If one of them is sensitive to the Attacking Element => STRONG damage (critical - 150%),
Else, Normal Defense against the Attacking Element => NORMAL damage (normal - 100%).

There is a new exception due to new Status Effect of Metal attack -

Magnetized: When a monster is under Magnetized effect, its defense is WEAK (defense reduced to 50%) against Metal attacks. The attack with Metal element will deal STRONG damage (200%), regardless the elements of the Magnetized monster.
