Grand Slam Guide: Default Monsters

Round Janice's Monsters Recommended Monsters
1 Taurminator
Beeba
Gloop
Crossbones
Beeba
Snob Goblin
2 Spearfisher
Cybot
Gobledygook
Wraith
Lagoonate
Snibgoblin
3 Airframe
Cassowary
Cuscus
Bulb
Cat Burglar
Total Chaos

These are all the monsters that Janice will use for each round. As opposed to usual round progression challenges, the first two rounds are actually more difficult than the last round so it is imperative to take note of this when choosing monsters for each round.

Round 1 Monsters

Round 1 Monsters
Taurminator Beeba Gloop
V.S.
Crossbones Gerridae Snob Goblin

For round 1, the Taurminator is your biggest threat. We highly recommend getting either the Wraith or the Crossbones and cheesing it with an instant death black element spell. If it fails, simply run away and restart the fight. Once you have slain them, focus on the Beeba next then the Gloop. There isn't really any other monster you'll need but make sure to only bring either one of the two mentioned monsters as you'll need one of them for the next fight!

Beeba is suggested on our monster to use here simply due to the fact that with the cheese method and we want to use a monster that is weaker than the rest of your monster pool but isn't too weak to not contribute anything to the fight.

Round 2 Monsters

Round 2 Monsters
Spearfisher Cybot Gobledygook
V.S.
Wraith Lagoonate Snibgoblin

For Round 2, you'll want to bring in the other instant death monster (either the unused Wraith or the unused Crossbones) then you'll also want to bring out the Lagoonate which is your strongest transformation by default. You'll need this power house to bring down the Cybot which is immune to instant death elements. The third choice is completely optional but we do not recommend using the Dodo and the Cat Burglar as you'll want some more damage dealers on the third round.

Round 3 Monsters

Round 3 Monsters
Airframe Cassowary Cuscus
V.S.
Dodo Cat Burglar Total Chaos

Round 3 is as mentioned, the easiest round of them all. Bring out the Bulb and the Cat Burglar. For the last option, you can go all out and bring out the Total Chaos too. On the battle, make sure to focus only the Airframe. The Bulb isn't necessary here but if it doesn't get targeted, it can at least fire some heal alls to support other monsters.

How to Increase Grand Slam Monsters

Record More Monsters in Sprigg's Doppelgang

The monsters that will be available the same monsters that Sprigg has in her current Doppelgang forms. If you want to get more monsters, you'll have to defeat enemies using Sprigg or having a character equip a Forget-Me-Not Pot kill the enemy.

Best Monsters to Capture

Monsters Location
Reason
Taurminator Mount Pyre Home World
Fight fire with fire, the Taurminator is easily found in Mount Pyre home world. Prepare for a tough fight if you wish to gain this as an early summon as it won't fall down easily.
Wight Knight Isle of the Damned Home World
only fought once so make sure to get this!
The strongest form for Sprigg and for the Grand Slam hands down. It's capable for hitting for two hundred+ damage against tough enemies and more for weaker ones.
Cybot Fort Dragonia Home World
From the four diverging rooms on the first floor, take the upper left then enter the left side room.
Fighting her own Cybot with your own
Gyroblade Chronopolis
High damage output and a Magnegate easily counters Cybot or Terminator's Inferno and Earthquake while dishing out decent damage.
Gurgoyle Fort Dragonia
Another hard hitter from Fort Dragonia!

Aside from all the mentioned monsters, there's also the trio Ozzie, Slash, and Flea but they are exclusive to NG+. They are considered as boss enemies but their power is just too good and is enough to carry each round of the Grand Slam by themselves.

Sprigg has a plethora of monsters to capture as her new transformations via Doppelgang. With these monsters, the mini-game becomes a cinch so if you're in no rush to complete the mini-game, try to get some additional monsters to make an easier run!
