How to Play the Monster Summer Game for Dummies

[Thunderchief]

It's the easiest game ever but I guess people really are that stupid.

The goal of the game is to get as high a level as possible and this will give you upgrades to your game badge which will give you more Steam xp so that you can do more things on steam like invite more friends etc.

You have to build up your stats so that you can do more damage and get to higher levels faster.

If you leave spawners alive they will slow down your progress. Target these first so they don't keep spawning stuff. You need to get to the boss ASAP. Use all your boosters on levels x1-x9. Do not use raining gold.

On levels ending with a "0" a boss will spawn. Bosses drop a lot of gold and can be farmed with Raining Gold boosters.

Use your Raining Gold boosters and start furiously clicking away for massive amounts of gold.

Then watch in disbelief as all the doorknobs that haven't read this yet start dropping all their nukes on the boss and completely destroying a perfect farming opportunity. :(

Anyway try to boost your Farming Equipment stat and elemental damages as high as possible so that you are still helping the team even when you aren't online.

The whole nuking bosses thing really makes me want to stop playing. I admit I played far less in the last day than I had the previous ones. I got stuck in a slow group and whenever there's a boss, someone comes along and nukes it, and I stare at a blank lane where Raining Golds are timing out and being wasted. No wonder we're only on level 453 after a whole day! No one can afford to properly upgrade their weapons! >.< I wouldn't be surprised if this has caused a lot of other people to stop playing as actively after the initial login. It's just not fun. :/

They should make bosses immune to damage boosters. I only got about 200 million gold from the last boss I killed because of nukers.

Hmm... the "clicking-milestones" really are annoying... I did my fair share of clicking the bosses for money, but now I have my "AFK-Equipment" on lvl 10 and there's not much more to get... it doesn't unlock a next category...
I think it will get harder to unlock the next sales when interest in the game declines... :/

and yeah: nuking the bosses is stupid ;)

[Baines]

It has been said elsewhere that the most effective way to level is to nuke the bosses. The claim is that enemy health increases will outpace player damage increases, even if you milk bosses for money.

The idea is to get a decent coordinated group raising Boss Loot. Wipe out everything as fast as possible, including bosses. Boss restocks people with new abilities, that let you blast through the next ten levels where you repeat.

Theoretically, with an active group you'll still be blasting through levels at the same speed hundreds or thousands of levels later, while gold farmers will hit a point where they simply can't keep up. Don't know if it is true. Honestly, at this point I don't really care because the game is both pointless and not even entertaining.

Best thing to do is join a game immediately after day reset, as you'll be with the hardcore players.

"The idea is to get a decent coordinated group raising Boss Loot."

Well, that sounds great, if you are playing with a bunch of friends you can talk to on chat or in a message board or something, but if you are in a group of people randomly bunched together it doesn't work out as well. If your group is moving slowly because there are a lot of afkers or people not sure what they're doing (even on day 3 :/), you *really* need the gold from Raining on the boss. Killing the boss quick does nothing but speed you to the next level where you are stuck until you finally wheedle the enemy HP down because no one can afford to upgrade their weapons.

Now you need to be level 8 and not level 5 to get your curds, puff.... their rewrote the description (changed minimum level from 5 to 8).

Oh yes... wish there was a chat feature to scold the stupid ♥♥♥♥♥. Or a group ban.

Hell yes!!! Because A most people who do play probably don't know how to change lanes, B save te rain gold for bosses, and C stop nuking the bosses. Also D for killing spawners first

People nuke bosses and everything because:
If you going for the badge,you HAVE to use abilities. Yes,save them for late game,because when later levels come up(200+ for example),the enemies start having absurd amounts of health that can be only destroyed by abilities,and not upgrades. Health ones are more viable in later stages than damage ones(expect elemental,boss loot and other ones). The gold will become meaningless in late game. Cooldown BP point ability and wormhole is best choice if you going for levels/quickly destroying everything on path.

[Anomander Rake]

Gold is meaningless in the late game. So yeah... nuke'em.

[Jasujo]

If you can't get to the late game, then nuking them is meaningless.

[Anomander Rake]

Except nuking actually expedites the process?

Not sure what people are looking for here. Once you hit a certain point and have millions of hp, do millions of click/auto damage and crit for trillions. Gold has no value because even the highest tier upgrades are insignificant.

You're just going to end up sitting with a multi-billion surplus of gold and no reason to spend it.

please quit nuking bosses.

[Evilworm]

Right now I am in a strange game. Level 1000+ in less than one hour, and I can't even see some levels, it skips 2-3 levels at a time and often the boss levels. Seems like all monsters are being nuked all the time.
