Monsters and the heroes who hunt them
Monsters drop shards and materials. These are the heroes built to hunt them, and what each one brings.
Monsters drop hero shards and materials, so your Stamina is well spent on them. Some heroes have skills that only work against monsters. Those skills do nothing against other players, which is why these heroes usually sit on the bench. Put them together in a hunting squad and they suddenly shine.
Your third squad, the one for hunting, opens at Sanctuary 20. Here’s every hero with a monster skill, grouped by faction, with what each skill does.
Skill numbers are at skill level 1 with no star upgrades, and they grow as you level the skill. Under some heroes’ names are the numbers at skill level 30, with the hero at 50★.

Good to know
- Monster skills do nothing against other players. Keep this squad for hunting, and your main squad for everything else.
- On my hero pages I tell you to park these skills, but that’s for fights against other players. In a hunting squad they’re the whole point, so they come right after each hero’s Ultimate Skill.
- Heroes of the same faction boost each other’s HP, ATK and DEF in fights: 3 of a kind +5% (+10% if the other 2 also match), 4 of a kind +15%, all 5 +20%. That’s why a hunting squad works best from one faction.
- The big numbers are at level 30 and 50★. Early on they’re smaller, but they still beat skills that do nothing.
