General App Questions
Q: What is bluecub?
A: Bluecub is an arkadion that evolves into Coldheart. It was made available for free in the bazaar during the first few days of Hunter Island’s release, but was taken down after a while. It will be made available through OM or in the gold spins. Read more information about it here.
Q: Can I transfer my save file between devices?
A: No. Currently save data is local to one device only.
Q: I want to start over, can I do that?
A: Yes. If you have additional save slots, you can start a new game on a separate save. Otherwise, delete the save file and restart. You will lose all progress and redo all the starter choices and egg spins if you pick the latter option. If you want to retrieve the Bluecub again you must delete the app and reinstall.
Q: Is there an Android version?
A: No.
PvP Questions
Q: How do I do PvP?
A: You must have an Arkadion of at least level 20. Once you do, tap on the blue “online” button in the bottom-left corner, and select PvP.
Q: Does monster level matter in PvP?
A: No. All monsters are set to level 75 in PvP.
Q: How do I edit my PvP team?
A: On the PvP screen (where you can select the type of battle you want to participate in), tap on the bottom-right icon that shows three starter monsters.
Q: What are diamonds?
A: Diamonds are received from winning battles in PvP. As you rank higher in PvP, you’ll win more diamonds. You can also get diamonds by fighting a friend via Game Center. Note that you’ll only get diamonds when fighting a friend once per day (per friend). Diamonds act as milestones, and can be used to unlock gold, grade boosters, and new, rare Arkadions. Your diamonds will not be spent when you unlock a new reward - they only act as a milestone.
Q: Do ocarinas affect PvP?
A: Nope.
Q: I won, but I got a defeat!
A: This is a known bug. Please sit tight!
General Gameplay Questions
Q: What is TU?
A: TU are called Time Units, an imaginary measurement of time that we use here in Hunter Island. Basically, every single move that is used in the game costs TU. When in battle, by clicking on the little “i” next to all moves, you are able to read the descriptions of them. These show the damage, type of damage, secondary effects, and range of the attack. They also show the amount of TU it takes to perform that move, while more powerful moves will cost a lot more TU than weaker ones.
Now then…on the top left, you’ll see the TU count next to the face of each monster. These are the current monster’s TU. If a Glazio has TU 500, that means that it cannot attack for another 500 TU.
Let’s say you have monster A and B, while the opponent has monster C and D. The current standings are A 0, B 194, C 200, D 12…this means that it is currently A’s turn to make a move, with D being next. Let’s say it uses Rend, which would be a total of 250 TU. This would make it A 250, B 194, C 200, D 12…then, since D goes next after 12 TU pass, the next move will commence at A 238, B 182, C 188, D 0…then it uses rend as well, making it A 238, B 182, C 188, D 250. Then, when B goes next, it will be A 56, B 0, C 6, D 68…make sense?
Moves such as stun increase enemy TU for a smaller price. You can increase the TU of D by 300 by gaining only 100 yourself. It’s very strategic.
When monsters are defeated, and a new monster comes into play, the monster’s speed will affect the total number of TU that it has initially.
Q: Why does it say I still have to complete a quest even though I just finished it?
A: If you quit the game without re-entering a town, then the game did not save your completion data. Re-enter towns to mark your savepoints.
Q: Do starters spawn in the wild?
A: Yes.
Q: Why did Monster X get XP when I didn’t even use it in battle?
A: A number of Arkadions use abilities (Examples: Blood Magic, Devour, Throw) that use another Arkadion from your lineup. In such cases, those Arkadions are “involved” in battle and gain XP.
Q: What is the letter you see next to each monster?
A: That is called a Grade. There are 6 different grades with E being the lowest. It goes from E -> D -> C -> B -> A-> S. The better the grade, the greater the chance of getting a Bonus Attack. Having an S graded monster also changes its appearance, making it look shiny.
Q: What is Bonus Action and how do I get more of them?
A: A Bonus Action is a bonus attack you can randomly get after an attack. You can get up to 4 bonus attacks consecutively. Bonus action chances are determined by the grade of your monster. S has the best chance followed by A, then B, and on down.
Q: How do I catch a monster?
A: If you press the Grade of the monster inside the square to the left of the monster, it will open a new window with 3 different options. The left one costs a low amount of silver and has a low chance of catching the monster. The middle one costs more silver with an higher chance of success. The right one costs GOLD, but has a really high chance of success.
Q: Can you help me find a particular monster?
A: Read the topics in this section. If you can’t find the answer there, post a new topic asking for help.
Q: What is a First One?
A: A First One is a story boss that can also be summoned after being defeated. You can summon First Ones by tapping on your character when he or she flashes and the bar is filled with blue. Once you summon a First One, you can’t summon the same one until you visit a town, so be careful of when and which one you summon!
Q: What different types are there and how do they work against each other?

A: You will need a recipe to combine monsters and these recipes can be acquired from side-quests you get in some of the towns. Some recipes are also gained from the Online Events, and others are obtained through hunter battles.
Q: What grade will my monster become when I fuse?
A: The grade of your fused monster will be the average of the monsters your fuse. If you fuse an A with an A, the outcome will be an A as well. If you fuse an A with a C, the outcome will be a B. If you fuse an A with an B, it will be A. When fusing, if there’s no middle value between the two letters being fused, it will take the higher of the two.

Q: I can’t use some of my arkadion’s skills in battle. Why not?
A: These skills are called passive skills. They don’t need to be selected to be used, so that’s why you can’t see/use them in battle. Passives are things like “pay back,” which deals damage to the enemy when it attacks you, or “Charisma,” which boosts attack and magic.
Q: How can I tell what a skill does in battle?
A: You can tap the small button with the “i” next to the skill. This will provide some information for the skill you chose.
Q: I’m getting no random battles!
A: This happens when you’re in an area where your party level is higher than the enemies’ level. Keep in mind that, even with one lvl 99 and two lvl 4 arkadions, you will not get ambushed by lower level arkadions because you have a lvl 99. To force a battle, tap the spot you’re in.
