Synthesis Types and Methods

Systematic Fusion

Systematic Synthesis is a form of synthesis between appropriate strains of A and B. If the Family and Rank are the same, then the resulting offspring will be the same no matter which monsters you use. It is easy to synthesize with this method because you won't need to specify which monsters to use. However, this method cannot be used to increase the rank of the monster offspring.

Examples of combinations of the same rank

Parent A		Parent B		Monster Offspring
E Rank	×	E Rank	→	Drake Slime Raptile

If an E-rank monster from the Slime Family and an E-Rank monster from the Dragon Family are combined, the same E-rank Drake Slime and Raptile will appear as candidate offsprings.

Examples of combinations between different ranks

Parent A		Parent B		Monster Offspring
E Rank	×	C Rank	→	Drake Slime Raptile Noble Gasbagon Shadow Slime

If you combine an E-Rank monster from the Slime Family and a C-Rank monster from the Dragon family, E-rank Drake Slime and Raptile, as well as C-Rank Noble Gasbagon and Shadow Slime will appear as candidate offsprings.

Examples of A-Rank and Higher Monsters Ranks

Parent A		Parent B		Monster Offspring
A Rank	×	A Rank	→	Goomulonimbus Drakulard

B-Rank is highest ranking monster you can obtain from Monster Synthesis. Even if you choose parents that are of A-Rank, an A-rank monster will not be synthesized from the combination.

Species Fusion

Fusions between members of the same Family as well as Systematic Discontinuation refers to a method of synthesis wherein specific monsters are required. Monsters that have a gold frame in the synthesis menu serves as an indicator of this.

►Monster List: See all Monster Formulas

Examples of Family Combinations

Parent A		Parent B		Monster Offspring
Hunter Mech	×	Restless Armour	→	Killing Machine
Killing Machine	×	Knight Errant	→	Overkilling Machine
Overkilling Machine	×	A3G15	→	Trauminator

The race of the offspring is determined by both parent monsters. There is no combination pattern or more than two in the mix.

Examples with both Family and Rank Patterns

Parent A		Parent B		Monster Offspring
Drakularge F Rank	×	Jowler C Rank	→	Drakulard (B-Rank)
B Rank	×	E Rank	→	Drakulard

Some monsters can be synthesized from two different patterns: Race and Rank. The basic abilities do not change no matter which way you create them, however there is an advantage in synthesizing with Family combinations as you are more likely to produce a higher-Ranked monster.

Examples of Family Strain Combinations

Parent A		Parent B		Monster Offspring
Rockbomb	×	G Rank	→	Magmalice
Rockbomb	×	G Rank	→	Firn Fiend
Rockbomb	×	B Rank	→	Firn Fiend

A family strain combination is a combination that can be made with a specific family of monster on one side, and any family strain on the other. It will not matter whether the rank of the monster is G or S. It can thought of as systemic synthesis with loose conditions.

4-Parent Combination

A 4-Parent combination is a special combination that occurs when the four grandparent bodies are specific monsters needed for synthesis. There need not any specific parent monster, only the grandparent monsters need to be specific. These are rare monsters that take a considerable amount of time before they can be synthesized.

Examples of 4-Parent Combinations

Granparents		Parents		4-Parent Monster Offspring
Magmalice	→	Anything	→	Balhib
Firn Fiend
Coralossus	→	Anything
Stone Golem

When the four monsters have been chosen, regardless of the combination used for the grandparents, the resulting 4-Parent Monster offspring will remain the same.
