The Quickfire Contest is a high-speed battle gauntlet in Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince that offers valuable rewards based on your win streak. Find out the best monsters to take and the rewards you can get in this guide!

Recommended Monsters

Recommended Monsters for 25-30 Wins

Recommended LVL: 100
1	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.

A Party with a Good AI Composition is Recommended

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.

Monster Tactics and Instructions

Recommended Monsters for 20 Wins or More

Recommended LVL: 100
1	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.
1	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.

A Well-Balanced and Stable Party is Recommended

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.

List of Items

What are Quickfire Contests?

30 Consecutive Auto-Battles Once a Day

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!

You Can Practice and Watch Replays of Previous Battles

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!
