Obviously not all of the good SEs benefit from a speed boost (say, jocodragon). But are there any that become substantially better or more effective when potted?
Currently I have an Armadiator at +9, and ~20 potions. So enough to bring up 2 more SEs.
If you had to make a short list of the best places to put potions, where would you put them?
Short answer: every SE. It’ll happen eventually when you hatch long enough but when everything is +9, you get SE pots that you can later convert to legend pots and you can always pot any new SE you get to +9 instantly.
But if you have to choose: Scarleguard, Megalodragon, Dreadmoth, Vulpink, Gaiawolf etc. A.S. Myst for sure if you have it. And if you have E.D Keiser, then obviously all ED you have should be +9.
As Exu said, basically every SE you might as well make +9. It’s not too hard to get the standard pool SEs to +9 so you start getting lots of pots and can max any SE you like. Maybe it takes some time, but I feel you can probably max the ones you’re using with reasonable ease until the point you can max anything you like.
Anything S- or higher in the tier list is worth it. Some monsters are particularly useful in PvE, like Armadiator or Torrentide, which I’d prioritise first.
Just take a look at what you like to use + what’s high on the tier list and that should cover you for the short term before you can basically get any SE you decide to put into a team to +9.
P.S. Sorry if this is not the experience that people have. Please tell me if I’m completely off-base. I’ve got all SEs to +9 and have thousands of SE pots so it’s hard to gauge other people’s experience.
