Monstrosity: Abilities and General Mechanics

[Trumpy]

Well they altered them all to be different at one point. think at least one can cast magic but im not sure its been a long time. Metal slime has like low HP but mega defense or something. There is also the spriggans by the way. I didnt really have any problems leveling normal slime (least to 30 or 60 however far i got it) when it first came out even without really awesome instincts to set. it just was kinda boring cause it could only melee back then.

Unless SE changed something since I last tested it months ago, Metal Slime has +0% Attack Bonus, +400% Defense Bonus and -95% Max HP on applied instincts. It's immune to Poison and is highly evasive, both magically and physically. It does have a weakness though. Drains seem to do full damage to them and considering how minuscule their HP pool is, it can be it's Achilles' Heel.

Yeah they take hardly anything but have lower hp to compensate... if a dot does land it is also rather painful. On the other hand a small regen amount is insane on them

I just leveled the normal slime to about 10-12 or something in a starting zone -> nuking build on metal slime with a regen +1 and just killed basically everything in 2-3 casts while usually never getting hit. Not sure I could recommend starting as the metal slime though, that 1 hp just doesn't work lol. You could also try using the first crab instinct on it to boost its hp by a huge 10! It did help a bit. >.>

Given their % mods to their basic stats apply to instincts as well I'd imagine +hp would also suck but +hp% would probably rock. If it has -95% then say 10% from dragon which used to be used a lot more often for it's acc would basically triple it's hp. And galka 2s one would be pimp with +2% and regen
