Totomostro also known as Monster Arena.

Basics

Level

Level indicates general strength, but it varies a lot depending on the monster archetype, so you will have to get a feeling for how different enemies behave and how they feel. If the level of one team is 15 levels above the other, the lower level team will most likely struggle. As I said, you will get a feel for this as you play.

Condition

Condition is important! This influences damage done/damage received. The difference between minimum and maximum condition could be as much as 2 tier brackets in some cases. So, if you notice someone in the S-tier with low condition, it might be better to go for a lower tier team with high condition.

Quantity

In 1v1 fights, teams with more members will surround and overpower most single teams. However, in big fights, teams with more members will be more prone to spreading out and that's where they lose. So, it's a lot depending on the situation. More team members means less chance of all of them doing something stupid though.

Odds

Usually, lower odds is the games way of telling you who it expects to win. Use the tier list below to see who's more likely to win in my opinion. However, if you've got a lot of medals and if you're in a matchup where you see one team with high odds, go for it and take a chance, it's gambling after all. I've had a 10 odds The Stingers team beat some big monsters 1v1, "easy" ~100k medals.

Betting

In the beginning I bought 100 medals and started betting 50% on fights. So 50 the first time, and if I ended up with 500 I'd bet 250 the next one. That should net you some medals quickly. Once you get high enough you'll be betting 9999 (or just 9000 if you're lazy like me) on every bet anyway.

Horns

You can buy new horns just outside of the arena before you hop on the gondola. I've actually only tried and used the starting healing horn. So I can't say much here apart from that you can do perfectly well without buying extra horns. Worth noting is that horns can be the difference between losing 9k or winning 80k, so use them! /u/Shoulon, however, pointed out that a great strategy is to buy the defense horn and use that if you have a team of 3 or more. I think this sounds like a great thing to do.

Leagues

There are multiple leagues and they seem to determine the monsters that you usually face. Initially I thought you had to exit and come back to switch leagues but this does not seem to be the case. The four leagues I've seen so far are Leide League, Duscae Deathmatch, Cleigne Crossroads and All-Star Monster Mayhem. I'm unsure if they play any major role as of now.

Tiers

S Tier

Usually a safe bet.

Key Words

Word Good/Bad Description
Evasive Good Usually hops around a lot in order to avoid getting hit.
Mellow Good Keeps out of fights most of the time so the other monsters can poke away at each other before engaging.
Fast Good Very fast to react to new things happening around it.
Area Good Sometimes enters a state of furious area of effect attack. Obliterates tiny monsters.
Clumsy Bad Usually falls over into a vulnerable state if attacked by more than one monster.
Squishy Bad Will most likely get killed in one hit if caught.
Slow Bad Very slow to react to new things happening around it.

Tips and Tricks

  • Cactuar always wins, no matter who it is against. Same with Gigantoad. Coeurl wins around like 99% of time.
  • The Defense Horn is worth buying to use instead of the Health Horn if your monsters are in good health.
  • Bet 10 percent of your current tokens in order to play it safe but still get a good return.
  • Conditions of monsters are not important.
  • Often the "quantity over quality" rule mentioned is good BUT some of the big monster groups are just crap no matter what. After a few rounds with them you will learn which those are.
  • Don't be put off by losing. Losing helps you figure out which monster teams are the best. Look at your losses and figure out who you should have picked instead and why.
  • Often it's because the monsters you picked had too low health and got one shot, or too low attack so simply got out DPSd.
  • If you notice any monsters that seem to just sit off the the side during group fights, waiting for the others to pick each other off (gigantoad and coeurl often do this) then they're probably a good pick.
