How to Evolve Talents

Synthesize to Maximize Points for Talents

Players can evolve their Monster's Talents by getting the maximum Talent Points for it from the sum of the parent's points during synthesis. Once you start synthesizing, you can choose when you want to take over the Talent of the new Monster.

Example of How to Evolve Talents
[Example for Getting the Bang Virtuoso Talent] • Parent 1 has 100 Points invested in Bang Afficionado • Parent 1 has 30 Points while Parent 2 has 70 Points in Bang Afficionado Both ways are valid in getting the Evolved Talent

Evolve Further with Certain Combinations

You can evolve Talents further if you combine Talents in a certain combination during synthesis. Doing so will give you a stronger version of that Talent with better benefits.

Example of Combination Talents

Combination Talent	Talent 1		Talent 2
Impactor	Frizz Virtuoso Crag Virtuoso Bang Virtuoso Zam Virtuoso	+	Frizz Virtuoso Crag Virtuoso Bang Virtuoso Zam Virtuoso

Clear the Final Boss to Get Talent Scrolls

Go around the Elven Utopia after you clear the final boss of the game. There you can obtain Talent Scrolls that you can use to learn the Highest Evolution Talents for your Monsters.

How to Evolve Afficionado Talents

Maximize Talent Points Before Synthesis

Talent Evolution Flow
Talent Evolution			Combination Talents
~Afficionado	→	~Virtuoso	→	Impactor Polariser	→	Perfect Speller

To evolve your skills to its fullest, you need to maximize the Talent Points of the ''~Afficionado'' Talents before you synthesize the Monsters. First, you need to look for Monsters with that type of Talent.

Monsters with an Afficionado Talent for Evolution

Talent	Monster	Location
Frizz Afficionado	Lampling	(Circle of Temper) Lower Echelon (Any Season)
Splash Afficionado	Toady	(Circle of Temper) Lower Echelon (Autumn)
Woosh Afficionado	Cyclown	(Circle of Temper) Lower Echelon (Spring)

Impactor	Frizz Virtuoso Crag Virtuoso Bang Virtuoso Zam Virtuoso	+	Frizz Virtuoso Crag Virtuoso Bang Virtuoso Zam Virtuoso
Polariser	Splash Virtuoso Woosh Virtuoso Crack Virtuoso Zap Virtuoso Sizz Virtuoso	+	Splash Virtuoso Woosh Virtuoso Crack Virtuoso Zap Virtuoso Sizz Virtuoso
Perfect Speller	Impactor	+	Polariser

After turning an Afficionado Talent into a Virtuoso one, you can further evolve it by maximizing two Virtuoso Talents and then synthesizing them for a Combination Talent. Although you cannot combine the same Virtuoso Talent, so make sure to have two different ones, like Frizz Virtuoso and Zam Virtuoso.

Process for Evolving SP Talents

Evolution Steps to Avoid Leveling Up (For Early Game)

Look for two Monsters with different Afficionado Talents

Get two other Monsters

Raise all four Monsters to Level 10

Synthesize the Monster with an Afficionado Talent and the other Monster └ Make two Monsters with Afficionado Talents

Raise the new Monsters from step (4) to Level 10

Take the 50 points from the Afficionado Talent and blend it to create the Virtuoso Talent └ If you take the lesser Afficionado Talent, you lose Talent Points

This method is to reduce having to level up Monsters since it is difficult to do so early in the game. The best way to get a Virtuoso Talent early is by following the steps above.

Evolution Steps to Avoid Synthesizing (For Late Game)

Look for two Monsters with different Afficionado Talents

Raise the two Monsters to Level 20

Take the 50 points from the Afficionado Talent and blend it to create the Virtuoso Talent └ If you take the lesser Afficionado Talent, you get reduced Talent Points

Later on in the game, this method is recommended to avoid synthesizing too many times. This is also more efficient since it is a lot easier to level up Monsters during the mid to late game.

How to Evolve Breath Talents

Maximize Talent Points and Synthesize

Talent Evolution Flow
Talent Evolution			Combination Talent
Blazer	→	Smart Blazer	→	Blow Hard
Chilly Receptionist	→	Frosty Receptionist
Shallow Breather	→	Deep Breather

The Breath Talents like Blazer, Chilly Receptionist, and Shallow Breather can evolve into Smart Blazer, Frosty Receptionist, and Deep Breather respectively if you synthesize them with the maximum Talent Points. Note that when synthesizing, you need the Monsters to have the same Breath Talent to get the evolved version.

Monsters with Breath Talents Required for Evolution

Talent	Monster	Location
Blazer	Gasbagon	(Circle of Temper) Middle Echelon / Sepulchre of Flame (Any Season)
Chilly Receptionist	Firn Fiend	(Circle of Temper) Upper Echelon (Winter)
Shallow Breather	Drake Slime	(Circle of Temper) Middle Echelon (Any Season)

Synthesize Two Evolved Breath Talents for a Combination Talent

Combination Talent	Talent 1		Talent 2
Blow Hard	Smart Blazer Frosty Receptionist Deep Breather	+	Smart Blazer Frosty Receptionist Deep Breather

Players can get the Combination Talent ''Blow Hard'' by synthesizing two Monsters with maximum Talent Points on Smart Blazer, Frosty Receptionist, or Deep Breather. Although, you need to have different evolved Breath Talents, like Smart Blazer and Deep Breather, for the synthesis to work.

How to Evolve Booster Talents

Maximize Talent Points Before Synthesis

Talent Evolution Flow
Booster 1	→	Booster 2	→	Booster 3	→	Booster 4

You can evolve the Booster Talents by simply maximizing its Talent Points before synthesizing. What is unique about Booster Talents is that it can be evolved three times, but you need to do it one at a time, such as maximizing the points on HP Booster III to synthesize it to HP Booster IV.

Talent	Monster	Location
HP Booster I	Feralball	(Terrestria) Plains (Spring)
MP Booster I	Dracky	(Terrestria) Plains (Any Season)
Attack Booster I	Dragonthorn	(Terrestria) Plains (Summer)
Defence Booster I	Bantamweight	(Terrestria) Plains (Any Season)
Agility Booster I	Slime	(Terrestria) Plains (Any Season)
Wisdom Booster I	Capsichum	(Terrestria) Plains (Autumn)

Taking Pre-Evolution and Post-Evolution Slows Evolution

Note that synthesizing a pre-evolution and post-evolution Talent, like HP Booster I and HP Booster II, will slow down the evolution to the next one. If you do not take the pre-evolution Talent, the points assigned to it will be returned so that you can transfer the refunded points to the post-evolution Talent.

Process for Evolving Booster Talents

Evolution Steps to Avoid Leveling Up (For Early Game)

Example: Wisdom Booster I to Wisdom Booster II
Look for two Monsters with the Wisdom Booster I Talent
Get two other Monsters
Raise all four Monsters to Level 10
Synthesize the Monster with a Wisdom Booster I Talent with the other Monster └ Make two Monsters with the Wisdom Booster I Talents
Raise the new Monsters from step (4) to Level 10
Take the 85 points from the Wisdom Booster I Talent and blend it to create Wisdom Booster II └ If you take the lower Wisdom Booster I, you get reduced Talent Points

This method lets you evolve Booster Talents with minimal leveling. Just keep repeating this method until you gain the final Booster evolution. This is the suggested way early in the game since it is difficult to level up at that stage.

Evolution Steps to Avoid Synthesis (For Late Game)

Example: Turning Wisdom Booster I to Wisdom Booster II
Look for two Monsters with Wisdom Booster I
Raise the two Monsters to Level 17 └ HP/MP requires Monsters at Level 20 since it uses more Talent Points
Take 85 points from the Booster Talent and blend it to create the Wisdom Booster II └ If you take Wisdom Booster I, you will get reduced Talent Points

Later on in the game, this method is recommended to avoid synthesizing too many times. This is also more efficient since it is a lot easier to level up Monsters during the mid to late game.
