Monstrosity: Acquiring Species

[Trumpy]

Sorry i couldnt find how to get them but how do you get the purple and red spriggan spirits to unlock them in mosntrosity?

[Mefuki]

Trade 8 crystals (one of each element) to the Red and Purple Spriggans.

[Trumpy]

Ok Thank you mefuki

So here's one not on bg wiki. Alabaster flan. Wasn't paying attention so not sure when I got it but it was after 30 and at or before 70 lol. It's a whm/pld. It also has a unique move called Gush O' Goo lol

Cool. Sounds like an excellent counter to the Undead family once Mon Vs. Mon is released.

[Trumpy]

Wasnt there a flan of every color in New Nyzul (with different gimmicks like magic dmg ect)? maybe we will get more colors eventually.

There is the one that I thought was missing above. It had to be 50 or 60, as people had been as far as 40 earlier without mentioning it.

So, anyone want to make a bet on what the next family that we get will be?

I'd like to see Empty, but I'm betting the next will be Arcana or Undead.

[Mefuki]

Well, if SE goes "in order" then the next family will probably be Undead, Arcana, Dragon or Demon. My guess would be Undead. In any case, it should be interesting as there are mobs from all of those families that have interesting quirks that will be fun/interesting to play with. Demon and Undead will give us our first monsters with specific weapons, including the Fomor who will have weapon specific TP moves and Qutrub who will probably have Fighting Stance Alpha and Beta to switch between their sword, dagger and fists.

Demon and Dragons will probably give us our first taste of a Fighting Stance Alpha for flight mode in Gargouille and Wyrms respectively, hopefully with standard Amphiptere being fitted with the same, retroactively.

Hopefully SE also figures out how to give Zilant their directional skills: Sinister Wing, Dexter Wing and Dancing Tail, then retrofits Kick Out, Tail Lash, Scorching Tail, etc to the appropriate monster.

Arcana will give us Acroliths which will be interesting to see how their "falling-apart" mechanic will work and how its stats will change when it does so. While if we get Mammets, we'll have our first taste of a mob that changes jobs when it changes modes.

All in all, any of the next families will be very interesting if SE is smart and makes the monsters as close to the real thing as is possible.

Also, sidenote, I'm really hoping for either the MvM introduction or monster party play in the next month or so. If it doesn't happen, I'm probably going to start a topic on the OF asking Camate to ask Iwagami what's up.

[scaevola]

Almost certainly going to be Undead, Arcana, or Beastmen, if anything at all; the others just don't have enough monster types to support it.

[dasva]

man qutrub would be hilarious. Run around with 50k hp with blood weapon up lol

[Trumpy]

Doesnt feel like birds aquans or amorphs had as many species as the rest of the families we already had have.

[dasva]

Well they had a bit of options to chose from but didn't add alot that's for sure

I think they're going to have serious reservations about giving a full flight mode, especially to something like Amphiptere. The zones aren't really meant to be seen from the sky.

[Mefuki]

I'm referring to the kind of flight that Wyrms or Arimaspi have. I fully expect to not get the flight that Amphiptere and Yovra have for the reason you mentioned but I'm hoping that when Wyrms receive their flight mechanic, which SE said they were already working on, that Amphiptere and Yovra get it as well in order to get as close to the "real thing" as possible while still remaining within technical limitations. The last thing I want to see is TP moves, passive traits or unique combat mechanics(directional moves like Tail Lash, charming moves like Soothing Aroma, the physical shield from Frozen Mist, the list goes on) that make playing/fighting these monsters interesting in the first place, abandoned by the Monstrosity dev team because they're too lazy to think of how to give us a close approximation.

One of the worst offenders in-game right now IMO is my NIN Inguza doesn't have an SP. Instead of doing what they did with MON Meikyo Shisui and saying to themselves, "How can we tweak this ability so it can be used and is functional in Monstrosity?" and then making the appropriate adjustments, it looks like they basically just threw up their hands and said, 'You're not getting an SP." Hopefully they go back and correct that but the point is that's what I don't want to happen.

If we're going to play as a monster, I'd like to play as that monster: to pit monster A(with abilities as close to the "real thing" as possible) against monster B(with abilities as close to the "real thing" as possible).

[Draylo]

Why didn't they add worm!

[xMerlinx]

Play Online site says unlock Spriggan by trading a slime spirit. Does it have to be Metal or She spirit? Blue is not working for me.

NVM . got it

[Byrthnoth]

SE added Undead and Arcana this update. It's going to cause errors with some BLU spells until I fix it. This includes all Animated weapons, it seems.

[dasva]

Wait just the files right? Cause I don't remember seeing any notice of it lol. Does that mean we know what species we will get and what instincts are now?
