Teach an impulsive player how to play

Hi everyone,
 
I’m pretty new to this game - currently Hero Rank 18 and just finished the Grand Champion questline.  I’ll also embarrassingly admit that I have a bit of an impulsive nature and spent money during the recent festival, definitely more than I should have (enough to get 2x Rare Gem hatches).  These two things mean I have a number of Legendary/SE monsters, with little knowledge as to how I should optimize using them and prioritize the Ultra-Evolves (which I can’t even do yet).

Here’s what I currently have (sorry for not having Ultra Evo names):

Legendary  - Bovolk, Necrowing, Angelon, Cyberwyrm, Tiamad, Biledragon, Tridrake, Mysticorn, Hydroloch

SE - Gearwolf, Gaiawyrm, Magmawyrm, Viridizaurus, Titanwyrm, Tezladrake, Spinoraptor, Barricadus, Golgemios, Pegasion, Mechadino, Rattledrake, Lavamander, Revan, Zephyr, Esapidon, Zapshell, Chronox, Subzeratops, Razorfin, Lunadrake, Dinorider, Pyroviper, Thundrake, Dreadwolf, Georex, Hydrowyrm, Deucalon, Destructor, Aquallion, Snowja, Coldheart, Scorpionix, Shadowlance, Vulcaraptor, Halozwei, Raptorex, Flaredon, Bergback, Triphoon, Necrodrake, Gigawolf, Cherub, Ashie, Galey

Obviously I’m in way over my head.  I have a lot of monsters, many of whom seem to be great/good per the stickied tier listing, but I have little knowledge on how to make them work together.  My current starters are Gearwolf, Bovolk, Necrowing, and Serapheon.  Generally I try to line up Gearwolf after Bovolk, use Deathmatch Mode, Team Turn, kill their four with Necrowing to charge Bloodthirst, heal with Angelon.  If Angelon dies, I have Cyberwyrm 5th for Stunning Entrance.  Tiamad/Biledragon/Tridrake follow for poison attacks.  

If there’s someone out there who won’t ridicule my impulsive nature, and can give me some guidance on 1) team optimization/strategy, and 2) Ultra Evo priority, I would greatly appreciate it.  I’ve done my best to read through the forums before posting, but most reference the Ultra Evo names, and the wiki seems incomplete.  Thanks!

I won’t ridicule you for your impulsiveness but I do advice against asking here what you should do. many of the veteran players including myself learned this game by ourselves and we spent a very long time playing this and figuring stuff out for ourselves. I think nobody here could tell you how to play this game in anything concrete and building a team out of the blue for a rank 18 hero is not something that’s worth my time.

Nothing is gonna be handed to you on a silver platter. You’ll have to work for it just like anyone else.

I can advice you to start reading my beginners guide here: http://www.hunterislandforum.com/index.php/topic/13640-neo-monsters-beginners-guide/

that will set you up with basics of what you might need to know. Monster abilities can be found on the wiki ~ You can try and do the trainer’s dojo missions to help you out with the game basic mechanics.

scroll through the following thread: http://www.hunterislandforum.com/index.php/topic/5938-ratebuild-my-team/

this is where people requested their teams to build and i’m pretty sure you’ll find some useful information there to get you started.

Once you’ve reached rank 80 or something feel free to post in that rate/build thread and if I’m still around I might be able to help.

as to evolve prioritization you should start with the legendaries. that’s pretty much the most obvious choice. ~ initially before reaching rank level 100 go with your favors and go with the tierlist I can give you the translations for the legendaries at least & their main abilities

 Bovolk — Bolvocius - Death match

Necrowing — Shadowyrm - sleep killer protect killer

, Angelon ---- Serapheon – risky heal all stun entrance give turn

, Cyberwyrm — Cybereon, — shock entrance sendback

Tiamad — Tiamazus — auto poison poison eater poison touch

, Biledragon ---- I have to think really hard on that one lol but its a poisoner thats for sure, — Poison massacre at 100 TU (instead of 200) poison blast

Tridrake ---- Tridrhakan, — Venom protect/sleep killer

Mysticorn — Sanctilion, — Assisted Nova

Hydroloch — Stormloch — Sleep Dreamhunt

Decide on what team you want to run and start to ultra evo them.

You have a lot of good poison legends, so probably worth building a team around them. Bovolcus is new, so no-one is really sure of how to best use him yet - will see in the next PVP.  Your current set up with him sounds good, but is likely to be quite slow for harder levels.

I’d focus on ultra evo’ing your poison legends:

 - Biledragon

 - Tiamad

 - Tridrake

 - Angelon (becomes one of the best support mons in the game)

 - Cyberwyrm (160s stun on entrance in ultra evo state)

I’d also look to evolve useful SEs / Es - namely the team turners, protectors and give turners.

You should also get the useful starters and ultra evo them - fire and electric (galvbane) are the two most useful.  If you can get epic potions before ultra evoing them - even better.

With your current monsters you could make a pretty solid poison team. Bovolk Tiamad and biledragon are your priorities to ultra and then probably tridrakhan, angelon and cyberwyrm. Also if you have most of the super epics then my advice is to not use the poison ones but instead focus on stun, heal and give turn ones. Also throw in the team turners.

Oh and as a word of advice don’t underestimate the epic stun immune give turners. Many of the top competitive players still use them because they’re good utility for relatively low cost.

Man that really are good monsters…
