Essential abilities?

[Alistair]

What abilities are needed to traverse the map? I know swim, vine climb and jump, but does mega breaker do the same thing as rock breaker or do you need both? I'm trying to set up the perfect 'miss nothing' team

Mega Breaker lets you break any rock even the ones that require Bombs. there is also the burrow and lava swimmer monsties as well

[Alistair]

Ok, so a team with jump, vine climb, mega breaker, swim, lava swimmer and burrow would be able to go anywhere in the game?

That would be correct.

Can lava swimmer swim in regular water too?

[Alistair]

Second question, can you use fly instead of swim/ vine climb to get to those places? I'm not quite at end game yet

I used fly to bypass the burrow since I never actually seen burrow skill needed for inside dens but you cannot fly in dens so still have a swim or ivy climber with you, since some maps also refuse to let you fly even if in the open

I see burrow is pretty much pointless moment you get fly but I yet to find an area were burrow is only way to it -shrugs-

Fly isn't until you beat the game, well practically. So you will still need burrow. But if you had the ability to fly then yes in some areas you can bypass but you can't fly in every area so you certainly still need a vine climber/burrow.

I do not believe so. I would have to check but I am off games for a while. After dumping 70 hours in already cx. Ill be back on sometime today or tomorrow though.

it's a little annoying that i have to make sure to keep one of each travel type in my party. Well, not HAVE to but it's a smart thing to do, as well as two of each attack type, which severely limits your party composition. And I can't remove one of them right now so they're just sort of sitting there, useless outside of combat :(

You can always go back later and go through all the areas with that team so you can have an easier time through the campaign.

There are no good end game monsties with swim either. Everything else is covered at least.

[Misfit]

there seem to be no combo monsters, so your short 1 monster. i usually go without lavawalk, you only need it for a few everdens in the last area.

any one know who is better, the mizuzune (rarity 5) or the lagicrus variant (rarity 6)? anything special about them? never used them in a fight.
or is there another endgame swimmer i miss?

Mizutsune is a Dash ability type. It's pretty good but not OP. It has some decent debuff skills, it's version of absolute evasion, and Rainbow Eggs can come with Health Up XL.

Lagiacrus is sadly not very good. Zinogre beats it out entirely but Ivory Lagiacrus has decent stats.
