Evolve Official Strategy Guide › Monsters

Choosing the Best Monster

Choosing the best Monster for a specific game mode can make or break an inexperienced Monster player. Below are suggested Monster choices for each mode.

ModeMonsterSuggestion
Hunt Kraken The Kraken’s ability to get high in the sky allows it to easily spot creatures and Hunters out of the smell range, helping to evolve quickly and stay away from a Hunter ambush.
Nest Goliath When an egg is hatched in nest, it spawns a level 1 Goliath. Use this to cause confusion and rush the Hunters early with the help of the minion.
Rescue Wraith The Wraith can abduct a downed survivor to move it to a position that will benefit the Wraith. This tactic can be used to set a trap for the Hunters, or to move the survivors close together to double your attack’s effectiveness.
Defend Goliath The Goliath can one-shot the basic turrets that surround the objective with a fully upgraded rock throw. It also has the highest health value in the game, allowing you to be a little more aggressive in the fight and keep the pressure on the Hunters.

Although these Monster choices can make it easier by playing to their strengths in each of these modes, an experienced Monster player can successfully compete in any game mode. A good Monster is a confident Monster, so choose whichever beast you feel can achieve victory.
