Monstrosity: Abilities and General Mechanics

[Vanderleest]

The XP grind is getting rough 75+ with almost 20k tnl now.. I was hoping instinct III wasn't at 90 :/

Yeah. It won't be so bad when you can party up for faster kills and when you have more haste from Instincts, but they have 87 listed as 27500 exp. Solo is just too boring to do that for more than one mob.

[dasva]

Yeah plus the mob instincts are pretty good (well some of them) so seems better to lvl a few anyways. Plus no more 1 shotting IT+s at higher lvls now

[Azat]

Maybe cause its late and having a brain fart, but base attack should go up only +15 when attaching like a +15 attack instinct?

Sabotender ins. I is adding +16 or +17 on different mobs, having a similar effect with +10 bee instinct giving +11/12. Which makes me think its more me derping then anything, but confirmation or clarification would be appreciated.

[Rocl]

What monster are you equipping it on? Bee Instinct is giving me +11 as well and Diremite giving me +33. Crawler & Fly giving +6 and WAR is giving 33 (should give 30) so it looks like I'm getting +10% bonus across the board.

Are you a small or medium monster? Maybe it's like large monsters receiving 1.5x bonus on defense from instincts.

[Stefanos]

Wamoura Instinct II: Fire resistance+100, Resist Virus+100, Magic Damage Taken-3%

So yeah.

Also at 60, no new TP moves for wamouracampa, but wamoura gets Erratic Flutter, 150% TP.

[Prothescar]

Is the haste as stupid as the monster version?

[Stefanos]

Yep, lasts about 2 minutes though. It's not HF speed, but it's close enough.

Edit: Doing a quick test, it looks like 3 minutes, not 2.

[Prothescar]

Tarichuk seems to be very resistant to both slow and poison. I've been in CN for about an hour now and haven't had either one land on me yet.

Marid is War

Onrush at start, 100 tp takes like 5 seconds to ready
lvl 10 = flailing trunk, 130 tp. Fan shape dmg. Nice for chaining
lvl 20 = Voracious Trunk 100 tp
lvl 30 = Stampede, 180 tp. Two Fold attack

Marid instinct 1 = 10 acc, 20 attack, -3 pdt. 8 points

Runs at 25% movement speed. Pretty awful lol

[dasva]

WAR is giving 33 (should give 30) so it looks like I'm getting +10% bonus across the board.

Yeah similar even on no box bee.

[Fival]

Rabbit gets nothing at 80 either, last unlock was at 60, i don't recommend this path!;;

[Rocl]

Yeah similar even on no box bee.

Yeah, I was testing it out on ladybug (which has no box). Speaking of ladybug

Lv40 - Spiral Burst - 150 TP - weak conal fire dmg + full erase on caster
Lv50 unlocks "Gold Ladybug" from Teyrnon and it costs 7500 Infamy; Luckybug is THF/RDM and gains Searing Effulgence.
Lv50 - Searing Effulgence - 180 TP - light dmg AoE + knockback + dia; dmg seems pretty decent (approx 700) and the DoT fairly potent, Dia was doing 1%/tic to T mobs

Also, Spiral Burst's description refers to the caster as "him" but emotes refer to all monstrosity monsters as "her." Spiral Burst's ACC down effect lasts approx 60s

Gonna take Ladybug to 60 and then hang it up!

[Lordesequiel]

Do you actually get anything for this? Or just for shits and giggles?

[Prothescar]

Spoiler: show

Have to go to work so done for now, will continue to fill it out as I level these three. Will be focusing on them. If anyone wants to provide me with the details of other monster "branches" in a detailed format (level that monsters unlock new species and variants, TP move levels effects and TP costs) then I'll make one for those too if it's wanted.

[Rocl]

So, Searing Effulgence says "light damage" but it's clearly a physical attack. It can miss, the damage is similar to a physical WS rather than magical, and it can Double Attack.

No idea what to make of it tbh

It's just fun as of now, se said there is a ton to be added. Read the update notes if you care to find out what is planned.
Edited for less mean response.

Sounds like hybrid dmg (Jinpu type).

[Byrthnoth]

White Rabbit is massively better than brown rabbits. I went from hoping I'd chain 5 on EM/low Ts to chain 6+ing for 700 xp/kill. Level 51 and 52 went by in a blink.

It has enough healing potential that pulling ~3 T/VT monsters and using Whirl Claws is totally reasonable, which is convenient because it still lacks a decent single-target damaging TP move. Foot Kick really sucks at higher levels.

[Tumna]

Got chigoe to level 30. So far no tp skills, didn't unlock any new mobs, just got Chigoe Ins 1: Acc+5 Eva+20 Triple Atk+1% Cost:6
Gonna go back to leveling scorpion now will update if it unlocks anything

[NynJa]

Foot Kick really sucks at higher levels.

I feel like it does just as much damage at lv 60 as it did at lv 20
