Spawn Probability is About 5%

Metal slimes appear at the Middle Echelon of each circle. The spawn rate, however, is very low at around 5% as verified by members of our strategy team.

While the spawn rate of the Metal King Slime increases after defeating the secret boss of the game, this does not seem to affect the spawn rate of the Metal Slime

Metal Slime Scouting Tips

Circle of Caprice (Upper Echelon) Scouting Tips
Check IconEasier to Scout if Attack or Wisdom is Over 300

Check IconScout rate increases if you have Overkilling Machine

Check IconRestart battles by saving and loading

Easier to Scout if Attack or Wisdom is Over 300

Metal Slimes have a high defense, so the success rate of scouting is very low. But in the case of Metal Slimes in the Circle of Caprice (Upper Echelon), the results showed that the scouting success rate starts to increase if you have monsters with attack or wisdom over 300.

If you don't have enough attack and wisdom stats, use skills such as Oomph or Ping.

Best Scouting Monsters

Scout Rate Increases With Overkilling Machine

For Metal Slimes, scouting them with an Overkilling Machine will have a higher scouting rate.

How to Spawn More Metal Slime During Battle

Bring Metal Slime to an Area With No Monsters

To spawn more metal monsters, bring the Metal Slime to an area where there are no other monsters around before entering the battle. This is because if there are other monsters nearby, the number of Metal Slimes that appear will decrease as the surrounding monsters will join the Metal Slime's formation when a battle begins.

Defeat Surrounding Monsters First

If there are other monsters near the metal monster and you can't get enough distance even after chasing them, you can start the battle after dealing with the other monsters that are in the way. When fighting other monsters, metal monsters will disappear once the battle is over. But if you move away from them and wait a few seconds, they will respawn.
