Although all of the Monsters are extremely dangerous, each is played very differently.
Survival
Each Monster has a different health and armor value, affecting their ability to survive high-damage encounters.
| Monster | Armor | Stage 1 Health | Stage 2 Health | Stage 3 Health |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Goliath | 10 | 5 | 8 | 11 |
| Kraken | 8 | 5 | 8 | 10 |
| Wraith | 5 | 4 | 6 | 8 |
When playing, keep in mind that you cannot regenerate health by eating animals (unless you have picked up the Health Regeneration buff). Begin to leave combat while you still have a small amount of armor left to prevent taking permanent damage.
Abilities
Each Monster is granted up to four different abilities in a match. The player determines these using a “pick 3” method. Initially, you start with three points to apply toward the Monster’s four main abilities. Gaining three points every time the Monster evolves, you can choose to stack up a few abilities or unlock them all, lowering the damage output of another ability. Choose abilities based on what is most effective for the game mode. Cycling through abilities is the key to taking out Hunters quickly. For an in-depth breakdown of each ability, check out each Monster’s specific section.
