In the case of a high-class metal slime in the demon world of the Temple of Flow
It becomes easier to scout when the attack is over 700. Scout rate increases if you have Metal Medley You can rematch as many times as you like by saving and loading

It Becomes Easier to Scout When the Attack is Over 700

Liquid Metal Slimes have a high defense power, so the success rate of scouting is very low, but in the case of slimes at the Circle of Caprice Upper Echelon, the scouting rate increases when your attack is over 700. The results showed that the scouting success rate starts to increase when scouting.

If you don't have enough attack and wisdom stats, you can increase it by consuming Better Beastie Bites, or by using Oomph or Ping skills.

Best Scouting Monsters

Scout Rate Increases If You have Metal Medley

For Liquid Metal Slime, scouting a monster with the Metal Medley trait will have a higher scouting rate than scouting a monster without it.

This is because the scout rate is determined by the stats of your party's monsters, whichever has the higher attack power or wisdom. Although, for example a Croc-A-Bugle-Doo with 503 attack with Metal Medley would have a better scouting rate than a Goomulonimbus with 504 attack but without Metal Medley

Monster	Recommended Skills and Talents
Overkilling Machine	・Specially high scout rate ・Top-class attack power ・Excellent as a story monster
Gem Slime	・Wisdom ranks first among all characters
Cetacean Sorcerer	・Learns Ping at Lv.40 ・High Wisdom increase rate

How to Spawn More Metal Slime

Bring the Slime to Area with No Monsters

To make more metal monsters appear, bring them to a place 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 join when you start the battle

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 area. 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.
