I am new to the game ( It’s my first week) and this is my first Island challenge. I was playing the battle normally until I found this (Defense) just wanted to know is this normal or something I don’t know about. I read that Island challenge monsters are significantly buffed but only after lvl 300 (I’m at 220) so a bit confused. Thank you.
Its normal its her passive
She has 1000% defence when above 90% health
Ohh I see. But wouldn’t that make it like impossible to kill her. I was also using mythic and my bloodthirst move was doing only 384 damage.
I mean she has some weaknesses in payback killer and piercing moves which ignores defence
But the general way to take her down without either of those is to
- Hit her hard enough to break the perfect stance (your bloodmove should have done that)
- Hit her again with another monster when she has no defence boost
Ohh okay, I understand now. I was using this monster quite often from friend supports but didn’t realise she has an ability like that. Thank you🙏🏻
The defence stat you see isn’t exactly how the damage calculation works, so don’t be put off by the insanely high number.
There is a cap on defence which, put simply, is when the defence stat is double the attacker’s attack stat. You can think of it as the monster doing roughly half damage.
Any defence buffs of 300% or more guarantee a monster has the defence cap. When you see a defence buff of 500%+ that usually means there’s extra damage reduction applied. With Carmilla’s “+1000%” she gets 80% damage reduction. So overall it means she takes about 1/10 the normal damage you’d expect. She has this buff while she’s over 90% HP, so it’s like you have to do her whole health bar and that gets her outside the buff range and then you can do another “one-shot” move and it will finish her off.
If any of that doesn’t make sense then feel free to ask questions
Ahh Thanks I got it now. I am new to the game and don’t have any stupidly strong monsters. I read about rerolling to get legendary in first hatch and I tried it. I started with Flaraven and thought it’s one of the strongest in the game. So I just couldn’t believe it when I saw a monster this strong. Haha lol…
BTW I have another question. I have collected around 200 gems in a week (Haven’t hatched after the first tutorial egg. I am planning to save upto 500 gems, spend in shrine every couple weeks and then hatch. So should I continue with saving up or hatch some ?
(My team is strong enough to beat Grand 4, I haven’t tried Grand champion yet. Got 2 new super epics for Island challenge and Balancion Trials as well.)
This is my team for now.
Thank you again for your Help, it’s much appreciated

Save until 500. Btw go catch Felimancer and Meowzard. They do huge damage together!
I caught them yesterday but didn’t bother putting them in team. Here is the updated one with a little bit changes. I also evolved sun lord.
BTW anything I can do get gems faster. Like any event or something.I have 225 right now, hoping to get 500 in one month.
Continue with the main story and collect gems from fights and achievements.
Yeah I am trying to go as far as I can, the 10 gems achievement are really good TBH but not sure I can get there with this team. BTW about how many gems can I get from all the side stories(like The First ones) in total. I was hoping I can at least get 100 or so without going to the end of course.
