I am aware that the Hold Ground for ‘Position is Key’ works different from in-game. This is intentional. Same applies to all differences between moves listed here and the same moves in-game. All secret skills are single use, but it seemed pointless to list that.

3

The time used on several of these monsters’ abilities are far above those of other monsters with the same abilities. Is this also intentional?

4

The TUs are actually lower overall than most monsters of equivilent power. I mostly allowed them to have lower TU basic moves so that they wouldn’t be totally useless if countered

5

170sec backstab?

6

100 TU free OHKO with unlimited uses

7

Some other monsters with last stand (the starters I think?) have a 70sec version

And Godfeather has like a 50sec healing version

Also, the Unstoppable Force monster’s attacks are really slow for some reason

8

Those aren’t lethal damage or HG/Shield piercing though. Plus that monster has a passive which allows it to heal whenever it kills something

10

Here are some suggestions.

Unstoppable Force: its moveset is cool; however, it seems quite slow. Maybe you could decrease seconds of its attacks?

Elemental Endbringer: Element Eviscerate → Element Execute (targets one enemy’ deals more damage the more teammates of that element there are on the target’s team; if the target dies, this monster goes again)

Depends on input. From what I can tell, a monster of that power shouldn’t have very low TU moves, but if no one can find a use for it, then that seems like a fair point.

I fear that having an unrestricted, high power Execute move on a monster with Auto Overwatch and a free 100TU OHKO may make it too powerful. The idea of this monster is that it needs to be carefully planned around to kill it, or it could become near unstoppable

12

It has Auto Overwatch? I didn’t see that.

Position is Key: It seems a little lackluster in the sense that all the attacks are already in the game. What if Piercing Blow was replaced by something like Knockback Attack?

13

Yep. It does

14

Or maybe Position is Key’s secret skill could be “Swift Knockback All”

15

That’s a solid idea

16

A different version of Positioning is Key:

ACTIVE ABILITIES:

Puchback (100sec): targets one enemy; the target takes medium damage and is swapped with the next monster in their reinforcements

Switch Ally (150sec): targets one teammate; the target is swapped with the last monster in the user’s reinforcements

Sendback Unlimited (150sec)

Delay (70sec): the next monster in the enemy’s reinforcements is swapped with the 2nd monster in their reinforcements

SECRET SKILL:
Swift Knockback All (100sec)

PASSIVE ABILITIES:

Defensive Mode

Stun Converter

18

A different version of Extinction Event (just the ‘plague’ part):

ACTIVE ABILTIES:

Poison Siphon (100sec)

Infect (70sec): targets one enemy; the target becomes poisoned; this is not a poison skill

Raw Double Poison Siphon (150sec)

Outbreak (100sec): targets one teammate; the target becomes poisoned and gains Poison Coated; this is not a poison skill

SECRET SKILL:

Extreme Mutation (passive): all monsters take 30 times damage from poison; replaces Resilient Mutation

PASSIVE ABILITIES:

Resilient Mutation: poison cannot be cured

Heal Conversion: this monster cannot be healed; if this monster would be healed, all poisoned monsters take 50% of the damage instead

19

That’s actually really cool
