5 star champion

[Kporal]

I would like some advice ( not about team composition ) about how "ranking" really work, i mean how to get 5 star ( and how to go further to obtain 6 star ).

I don't understand how it work really, ok i know the first to attack is mostly for stacking combo and the third act as the damage dealer, more combo mean more ranking if i'm right, but actually i'm trying to beat all champion with 5 star, and for some of them i should have 5 but get 4 everytime, so i miss something maybe i don't kill them fast enought ?

I've try to look some youtube video, but most of people is actually cheating ...

Hello, they are not actually cheating, just using some game mechanics appropriately.
If you want the explanation:
https://monster-sanctuary.fandom.com/wiki/Battles#Battle_Rating
This is the wiki page, which has detailed info about rating.
Basically, you need to kill fast, keep high hp of your monsters, apply lots of buffs/debuffs, keep high combo meter.

Lol, i do not said all of them are, but a lot of them is actually cheating, doing more than 50k damage on each hit ...
Thank for the link, so in my case i think i need more dps wich slow me, maybe that's why i stuck at 4 star

Actually it's farely possible to reach ridiculous numbers, if you stack combo and some bonuses.
Sometimes, you should not just kill fast, I had champion fights lasting like 5+ turns, but had 5 stars due to applying ridiculous amount of buffs/debuffs. Watch your rating at the battle and look up, what are the categoies, where you fall behind.

Don't underestimate the value in buffs and debuffs.
Spend the first turns just stacking as much buffs and debuffs as you possibly can. Multi-Chill and congeal are your best friends in champion fights

[Kporal]

I do not underestimate buffs and debuffs, if you talk about the fact i said people are cheating, tell me they arn't when they have cheat engine ... xD, watever, i've tried a lot of time to do some 5 star, in my case to get the "levitate" ability wich is required for me to explore the last area on my map, also to get Gryphonix to allow me to get the last chest on the abandoned tower, i'm just not as good as i would like at this game and actually i'm stuck because of that, i keep trying doing a lot of test and build but nothing work

[gran2996]

About Gryphonix - try using Ice Blob, Shockhopper, Arachlich. Stack poison, congeal, Ice Blob casts ice shield, Shcokhopper debuffs, heals and removes burn stacks, Arachlich for poison, bleed plus revive. You should be alright with such setup.
Personally used spectral wolf instead of arachlich, because he hits like a truck, but you may use any chill damage dealer, like mogwai or dracozul.

[Kporal]

I can't get gryphonix for now, because i havn't yet the levitate ability :'( or maybe i've missed something ? let me check ( thank for your reply ^^' )

[gran2996]

Levitate can be obtained from Vodinoy or Diavola, who are you trying to beat?
By the way, who is your spectral familiar?

[Kporal]

spectral wolf is my familiar, tbh i try both, but ... i've followed the suggested team from the pdf on the DLC ( in my case won't work ), i've also try some build from video on youtube ( last one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Epjh98w0hP4 ) exact same comp with better stuff than him ( level, some of it's stuff is still +4 all mine is +5 .... ) still won't work, i'm so bad that's insane xD

EDIT : I always have 4 stars ...

[gran2996]

OK, Vodinoy is one of the most annoying bosses in this game, but he is doable.
If he does not one-shot you for the first 1-2 turns, you're ok.
I used L-ice blob, D-Shockhopper, D-Wolf.
The main trick is to stack 7 stacks of chill on him, after a few turns he starts using his strongest abilities less due to lack of mana.
Ice blob casts ice shield all the time, protecting and keeping chill on Vodinoy. (Hexing Rod or Orb, Cauldron, Sustain ring, Bracelet, food for defense).
Shockhopper for support, use sonic wave first turn to apply weakness then heal or apply shock stacks, depending on the situation. (Orb, Drum, Sustain ring, Bracelet, food for defense)
Wolf is the main hitter - use his ultimate with wind attack to get glory and sidekick, then wind sickle. Wolf has a an ability to heal from hits, each provides him mana, dark shift builds shield for 25 % of his damage. (Scythe or Shuriken, Scroll, Crit Ring, Cape, Food for crit damage)
Hope, that helps.

[Kporal]

Gonna try rn thank for your help
EDIT : It seem to be ok for DPS, but the problem is, my monster now is SOOOOO WEAK, they die so easily .... that's absolutely insane -_-' so with that technique i think i can get the 5 star but after how many restart ? that's absolutely not enjoyable :s

[Kporal]

It work thank you for your help !
EDIT : it also work fine for gryphonix, i got him on the first try at 5 star

[gran2996]

You're welcome!
That's a very strong team, which can 5 star almost all the bosses in the game. Though, not the only one.

[Kporal]

I've just finish the 4 spectral gardien with the same team, but not vertrag xD 4 star only lol
