Bodkin Archer
Support |
Overkilling Machine
Damage |
Dread Dragooner
Damage |
Damselfly
Defence |
Explanation: This party has proven extremely effective for attaining 30 wins. The trick here is to bestow buffs with Bodkin Archer, negate incoming damage with Damselfly, and go all out with the remaining two. This party is effective even when on Auto, making for an easier time to get 30 wins. | ||||
2 |
The Almighty
Recovery |
Flapdragon
Damage |
||
Explanation: This party is a great option for attaining 25 wins or more. An L-sized Flapdragon amplifies explosive damage and can act 2-3 times due to its Traits. The Almighty is a healer that is resistant to ailments, making for a much more stable party. |
If you are aiming for 25 wins or more, you must ensure that your monsters are at Level 100, and can hold their own even when set to Auto-Battle.
You won't be able to change orders during battles, so perfect your strategy, set what each of your monsters should prioritize in the Tactics menu, and optimize which skills they should use often in the Set Instructions menu.

Metal King Slime
Defence |
Cetacean Sorcerer
Damage |
King Cureslime
Healing |
|
Explanation: A well-rounded party with a defensive unit, a main source of damage, and a recovery unit. Since the Tactical Genius Trait isn't guaranteed, the win rate for this party will be lower than parties made for 30 wins, but can easily reach 20 wins above. | ||||

Krystalinda
Damage |
Overkilling Machine
Damage |
Archdemon
Damage |
Slionheart
Healing |
Explanation: This type of party composition is widely used for the story. Each unit has a sound role, and can consistently reach 20 wins or more. Even if you haven't completed the story or raised monsters after, forming a similar party will give you a fairly good winning rate. |
If you are aiming for 20 wins or more, we recommend creating a team with monsters like those used to advance the story, and dividing their roles in a well-balanced manner. Their levels should be 75 or above.
B-Rank Monster or lower used by the opponent A set of Seeds Meat-type Items
|
One of the rewards you can obtain Quickfire Contests is a B-rank monster or lower was used against you. If you have a good winning rate, you can acquire SP-type Talents.
Additionally, depending on the monsters you face, you may even acquire egg-exclusive Talents such as Hard Warder and Holy Warder!
In addition to monsters, you will be rewarded with a set of random Seeds. Depending on how good your winning rate is, you may even win numerous Super Seeds that greatly increase stats, such as the Super Seed of Life.
You can also obtain Meat-based items such as Smoked Sirloin and Meaty Treat for when you're aiming to scout powerful monsters that are difficult to scout. These items increase the likelihood of monsters to join your party.
Depending on your winning rate, you may also win a more potent version of Meat-based items, such as the Beastie Bites.
Quickfire Challenges are daily gattle gauntlets consisting of 30 consecutive battles ran automatically. This means that you cannot issue direct orders to your monsters, and they must fully rely on the Tactics and Set Instructions menus.
Quickfire Challenges reset daily, and the rewards are at random. The more wins you get, the more and better your rewards are! Try your hand at these challenges and put your monsters the ultimate test!
After your run, no matter how many wins you reach, you can choose to view replays of your previous battles in the challenge, and can even initiate a rematch to practice for future battles. This is also a useful way of testing out newly composed parties!
