As the title implies, I want to provide a list of the best farmable monsters to acquire and where they can be found. Currently, GungHo has been very generous with events, magic stones, etc. and a new account are able to push through content much faster due to more REM access, higher multiplier leads, and hypermaxed (best) friends. All of this adds up to a lower need to search out and acquire farmable monsters, but many have value to this day. From my own experience, I found Echidna  , Valkyrie  , Athena  , Dark Izanami  , Zaerog Infinity , and Satan  to be the most helpful and still used to this day. Furthermore, I will try my best to keep this list up to date as new content is released.

I will group the following monsters by either:

• Non-descend drops: Echdina  , Gigas  , Siegfried  , Siren  , Cu Chulainn  , Ancient Dragon Knight Zeal  , Verche  , Lilith  , Cyclone Devil Dragon  , Vampire  , L/D Golems  & 
• Descend drops: Dancing Queen Hera-Ur  , Goemon  , Permafrost Hera-Is  , Valkyrie  , Athena  , Light Izanami  , Sandalphon  , Dark Izanami  , Aamir  , Hel  , Satan  , Beelzebub  ,
• Rarest/hardest descend drops: Scarlet  , Volsung  , Zaerog Infinity  , Elia 

 

Non- Descend Drops:

Crimson Lotus Mistress, Echidna

• Best place to find: Is a rare drop from numerous normal dungeons as well as the pal egg machine, but  has her own survey dungeon: Scarlet Snake Princess
• How easy to acquire? Beginner accounts can and should get her immediately
• Uses and team roles: I wrote an in-depth guide to  HERE, but she essentially has great recovery, a three turn delay, and fills the red slot on rainbow teams. Delays are starting to come back into style with more bosses having perseverance or resolve mechanics. By delaying the boss, you are able to circumnavigate their execution ability at 1% health. However, for beginning players, this delay could mean the difference between a successful 0-stone clear, or a painful death. Do not underestimate how Menacing  can be.

Gigas the Great!

• Best place to find: Athena Descended! is perhaps the most reliable place to acquire him as he perhaps drops 1/3 times and you would be replaying Athena for skill ups any way. He does drop throughout numerous normal dungeons, but I found this was the best way to get him reliably and also in his 4 star form. As a side note, his skill up fodder is found practically everywhere in the form of Samurai Goblins  .
• Easy to acquire? Yes and he is also found in the pal egg machine along with being found in the normal dungeon, Tower of Giants (because he is so tall of course).
• Uses and team roles: With such a great name as he has,  is only truly great as a low cost team sub for the horrible cost restricted descends. Having 1 or 2  at max skill is a massive health increase and provides a 5-turn orb changer. Of course you can always use  in his evolved form as a mono red sub, but I feel his true power lies in the low cost realm.

Dragon Emperor, Buster Siegfried

• Best place to find: Seigfried can be easily obtained from his own dungeon, Hero’s Hideout, at a 50% drop rate OR from Athena Descended in his 5 star (second evolution) form.
• How easy to acquire? Heros Hideout is much easier to clear than Athena; however, it requires clearing Divine Queen’s Sleepless Castle which may prove tricky for very new accounts. Yet, Hero’s Hideout and Athena Descended are definitely easy compared to the rest of the content
• Uses and team roles: Seigfriend can go either Blue/Light  or Blue/Red  in terms of ultimate evolutions with the decision really coming down to your own art preference or if you badly need the sub colour. He fills the wonderful role of Blue heart breaker and can be feasibly skilled up to a 5 turn cooldown making him invaluable orb generator for mono blue teams.  may lack in awakenings and be a bit too HP heavy, but in a pinch he can make appearances on many teams

Sea God’s Songstress, Siren

• Best place to find: Siren has no exceptionally easy way to obtain per say; however, if I had to name a dungeon, it would be Blue Sky Dragon for 30 stamina in the Normal dungeon section.
• Easy to acquire? Yes and no….she can come out of the old pal machine, as well as a rare drop throughout numerous special and normal dungeons. The difficulty in dungeons is low, but the time investment may make your head spin
• Uses and team roles: Aside from playing fancy orchestras under the sea,  is one of the best (and farmable) heart makers in the game! She is very easily skilled up via the blue Marine Goblins  and has amazingly high recovery. You can use  on a team that combines bind recovery  awakenings with her active to have a makeshift bind clear through a row of hearts.  can also play the defensive sub role in mono or rainbow colour teams. Since her access to skill ups is so common, you can have one max skilled very early on and be able to stall on bosses longer due to frequent heart generation and high recovery

Wolf Hero, Ignis Cu Chulainn

• Best place to find: This Noble Wolf Hero  can be easily obtained from his own dungeon, Hero’s Hideout, at a 50% drop rate OR from Athena Descended in his 5-star (second evolution) form.
• How easy to acquire? Heros Hideout is much easier to clear than Athena; however, it requires clearing Divine Queen’s Sleepless Castle which may prove tricky for very new accounts. Yet, Hero’s Hideout and Athena Descended are definitely easy compared to the rest of the content
• Uses and team roles: I call him Choo Choo for some strange reason, but could be mainly because of the previous naming released early on. Regardless, Cu Chulainn  is an amazing mono green sub but only truly shines in his Green/Red form as this evolution unlocks the  awakening which is immensely popular in mono green teams. The rapid access to green orbs combines with well balanced stats, makes for an excellent sub even along side REM options.

Ancient Dragon Knight, Zeal

• Best place to find: The green Mystic Knight  can be most easily found in his own survey dungeon:  Dragon Guardian.
• Easy to acquire? Yes! Like all the Mystic Knights,  is found in more that just his survey dungeon and can also be obtained via the older pal machine.
• Uses and team roles: Once regarded as a strong 9x lead for dragons,  has fallen out of favour simply due to time and powercreep. However, he is still a 5 turn orb changer of red to green which is a boon to all mono green teams as well as Umisachi Yamisachi  teams (who do not use red orbs). Yes I know mine is not fully evolved, but I did have one a long time ago and fed him away for the pluses once I realized Sakuya  was my dream team.

Godly Knight of the Sky, Verche

• Best place to find: Verche  drops conveniently from two different dungeons: Blade of Justice and Light Carnival
• Easy to acquire? Yes! He drops like candy in Light Carnival as well as Blade of Justice. In addition, he has countless appearances in other dungeons
• Uses and team roles:  functions as a fantastic 5 turn orb changer and removes those pesky dark orbs for Sakuya  teams. As a sub in mono light / god (Athena ) teams,  acts as a quick and easy orb changer who also has a  awakening. I used him extensively in my early  days and still use him on my  team to make runs go faster.

Moonbeam Fang Witch, Lilith

• Best place to find: Lilith  has no survey dungeon to acquire so the best two spots would be Satan Descended and Purple Skydragon (normal 30 stamina dungeon)
• How easy to acquire? There is no place where she is a guaranteed drop; however, Satan and the Skydragon dungeon do have a modest drop rate and she can roll out of the older pal egg machine
• Uses and team roles:  has historically been valued for her ability to poison high defence monsters and effectively bypass their mechanic and instantly kill them. This still holds true and can be used to remove dangerous pii (coin dungeon, challenge 5), or high defense monsters in the various weekday dungeons. She also now has the benefit of providing a small 50% boost to devils for one turn and thus allowing her to double dip in her active usage. It is good to note her recovery is amazingly high for a devil and will provide a huge RCV value to any team. Lastly, you can use her poison to kill a boss with resolve (who does not have status shield).

Cyclone Devil Dragon

• Best place to find: This Ripper dragon drops from countless places that it may just simply happen to end up in your box. If i had to give the ‘best’ place to acquire I would say either Hera-Is Descended or Purple Skydragon (normal 30 stamina)
• How easy to acquire? I am going to say easy? He will probably come out of the old pal machine as a little black dragon or randomly from a dungeon, just don’t throw him away!
• Uses and team roles:  deserved mentioning because he is a farmable devil with an orb changer. Now, it may not seem that impressive to have a simple water to dark orb conversion at a max skill of 8 turns, but  does synergize with Haku  to produce a board 2/3 dark and 1/3 red. Even if you do not own a  ,  can still provide an orb change for devil / dark teams. Even to this day, I still use him on my King of Gods Satan  farming team.

Dark Liege, Vampire Duke

• Best place to find: Like the Cyclone Devil Dragon , Vampire  kind of drops everywhere; however, he does have his own (albeit rarely seen) survey dungeon, Lightless Devil’s Nest
• Easy to acquire?  drops from countless  all the time and even comes out of the old pal machine. Just be aware that when it says Lightless Devils Nest, the lightless part is actually no light orbs, so provided you do not take a mono light team, should be a cakewalk
• Uses and team roles:  is the dark equivalent of Valkyrie  with inferior awakenings and stats.  has an amazingly powerful 5 turn heart to  dark orb change which is easy to skill up. The biggest drawback compared to  is he only comes with 3 awakenings. But nevertheless,  can play a central role in dark based teams as the quick access to dark orbs can allow you to pump out constant damage. He also has quite balanced stats and a large amount of recovery for devils.

Dark Mech General, Hysferzen

• Best place to find: Dark Mech General, Hysferzen  and his light cousin Light Mech General, Sherospada  drop throughout numerous dungeons, but their best place to quickly acquire and skill up are Fire & Light Armoured Dragons and Water & Dark Paired Dragons
• Easy to acquire? Yes as both golems are common drops and should be relatively easy to get your first one
• Uses and team roles:  and  are able to break enemy’s defences by 75% along with providing a 20% damage reduction for 5 turns. This armour break is particularly valuable when facing high defence monsters as you will be able to kill the floor with relative ease and the armour break carries forward to the next floor if you sweep your current one. When fully evolved (which is resource intensive), they create 25x damage machine teams (16x for regular monsters) as well as a modest health boost. They seem appealing on paper, but the sheer number of evolution materials required to evolve them would probably mean you have a stronger option already.

Descend Drops:

Awoken Dancing Queen Hera-Ur (Red Hera)

• Best place to find: Hera-Ur Descended! has a 100% drop on mythical difficulty although she can also be acquired through other descends and challenges
• How easy to acquire? I would place the descend as quite unforgiving and difficult as it is a very short 5 floor dungeon with two large preemptives and on mythical you are unable to delay or poison crucial floors
• Uses and team roles: Aside from her charm and good looks,  fulfils the orb enhance role on mono red and devil teams. It is worth noting that her ultimate evolution only enhances red orbs instead of red and dark. If you are using a purely dark devil team and are in need of an orb enhance, her Awoken Hera-Ur  form may be your best solution. However, in her Dancing Queen  form, she has superior awakenings and enables red teams to burst even higher

Avowed Thief, Ishikawa Goemon

• Best place to find: Goemon  drops from his own Descend with mythical being 100% drop
• How easy to acquire?  ‘s descend is on my 7 ‘easier’ descend hit list in my NEW PLAYERS GUIDE so he is relatively easy to acquire in his base form. However, his real value and uses require him to be ultimately evolved and thus out of reach for early usage
• Uses and team roles: Many high ranking players who are solely interested in speed farming use  as a lead due to the “press one active, kill floor” play style. The teams can vary in sub choices, but the overwhelming trend is to have many skill boosts to use as little time as possible per floor. Do keep in mind that this team allows you to clear dungeons very quick, but you are still using the same amount of stamina and thus to truly benefit, you have to be willing to refill your stamina repeatedly.

Permafrost Queen, Hera-Is

• Best place to find: She drops from her own descend Hera-Is Descended and can also be skilled up via purple Hera found in Divine Queen’s Sleepless Castle for her Blue/Dark  form
• Easy to acquire? Yes! Hera-Is is certainly one of the more easily obtainable monsters from descends and I personally place her on my 7 Descend Hit List for what beginners should aim for! Also, here is my step by step GUIDE to clearing her descend.
• Uses and team roles: Hera-Is was at one point a top tier sub in her Blue/Dark  form as she filled two awkward colours on rainbow teams and gravities reigned supreme. Fast forward to today, her role as a gravity is less vital; however, with the inclusion of perseverance as a boss mechanic, her active can allow a safe kill as you can use gravity to push the boss out of their perseverance range, then match orbs to kill. In her Blue/Blue  (and prettier form) she fills the role of a mono blue enhancer should you not have a suitable REM replacement. She is able to be skilled up via the Summer Pad Event and probably need to wait a while to have access again.

Divine Law Goddess, Valkyrie Rose

• Best place to find: This lovely lady is a guaranteed drop from Mythical Goddess Descended
• How easy to acquire? Her descend is one of the easier to conquer as it was released probably 2+ years ago and as such has less mechanics to deal with
• Uses and team roles: Eye Candy aside, Valkyrie  fills the green slot on rainbow teams as well as being a powerhouse on the light primary rainbow teams. The fact she can be skilled up to 5 turns as well as providing the main damage orb makes her almost irreplaceable. Perhaps I am biased as she was my second hyper max and has an almost guaranteed spot on my Sakuya  and Light Kali  teams. Awakenings are quite strong for a farmable monster as the two prong attack  and double light orb enhance  awakenings pushes your damage when combined with at least 3 other  awakenings because it guarentees all light orbs will spawn with a plus and adds +50% more damage for all light monsters. I could probably ramble on more about my love for Valkyrie, but I should restrain and make her own post at a later date =) TLDR, if you own a rainbow or light team get her!

Guardian of the Sacred City, Athena

• Best place to find: Athena has her own descend and has a 100% drop rate in Shining Goddess
• How easy to acquire? Athena would be one of the first descends tackled by new players as she is on my 7 descend hit list as explained in my other GUIDE. Furthermore, her descend can also drop Gigas, Seigfried, and Choo Choo in their second evolved form
• Uses and team roles: Athena  makes a fantastic farming lead as she provides an unconditional 9x damage multiplier along with a modest hp buff for god types. Simply match a yellow two prong attack  and BOOM! easy floor sweep. Her active is okay as the enhance does add damage, but it is quite dependent on how many light orbs your board has and needs to be comboed with an orb changer.  However;  can also provide the role of an offensive powerhouse on rainbow teams. In addition, her 2  awakenings allow  to burst incredibly high and is able to pierce through high defence monsters with ease. Furthermore, her 2 blind resist  awakenings means she provides 40% protection all on her own. Lastly, she can fill the green slot on rainbow teams. I am pretty biased towards her as I do find her power to be fantastic and is one of my hypermaxes.

Empress of Creation, Izanami

• Best place to find: She drops from Izanami Descended from the 5th floor, but it is not a guaranteed drop even on Mythical
• How easy to acquire? Her Descend is modestly challenging and I did write a very in-depth guide HERE. Once you are able to clear the descend, it may take a few clears to actually get her to drop.
• Uses and team roles: Light Izanami  is less powerful than her dark cousin  as the shield only lasts 1 turn compared to 3 and is harder to skill up. I am only wanting to bring attention to  because she is more “on” colour for many light rainbow teams and can fulfil the blue slot as well. Her stats are quite well balanced and her active, if you can make use of it, is powerful way to avoid a killing blow or large preemptives.

Awoken Sandalphon

• Best place to find: Sandalphon  is a guaranteed boss drop from her own descend, Meditating Music God – Mythical
• Easy to acquire? With the restriction of No Duplicate dungeons changed to only affect subs, this descend has become significantly easier as you can bring a matching leader instead of trying to be creative with new team compositions. Just note you should not be using a dark team.
• Uses and team roles:  functions as a powerful healer enhancer with an active that increases healer type damage by 2x for 2 turns along with providing a 35% damage reduction shield. In addition, her base stats are quite high for a farmable monster with no ultimate evolution. Furthermore, by providing 1 light orb enhance  and 1 light row  awakening, you are granted some passive damage every turn.

Pacifying Yomi Goddess, Izanami

• Best place to find: She drops from Izanami Descended as a guaranteed drop on Mythical
• How easy to acquire? Her Descend is modestly challenging and I did write a very in-depth guide HERE.
• Uses and team roles: Dark Izanami  is regarded as one of the best subs in the game due the advent of haste on dark teams.  provides a 35% damage reduction shield lasting 3 turns on a 6-turn cooldown. When using haste actives, you are able to potentially chain her active repeatedly and thus have a permanent 35% damage reduction shield. In addition, she provides 1,500 worth of auto healing through her 3  awakenings. Furthermore, her large health pool can allow you to survive significantly more painful attacks even without the use of a shield.

Black Beast Demon’s Servant, Aamir

• Best place to find: Aamir  can be found in his own descend Hedonistic Demon in both mythical and legendary difficulty.
• Easy to acquire? His descend is modestly challenging and does require some forethought and planning to ensure you can survive his 2 turns of damage absorption.
• Uses and team roles:  deserves special mentioning as a farmable bind-immune bind clearer. You are most likely only going to use his active once per descend and the 18 turns may be manageable if you can stall on the earlier floors. The additional time extend  awakening is a nice added bonus and gives dark teams an option for immediate bind removal.

Awoken Hel

• Best place to find: Awoken Hel  is the final boss drop from her own descend, Princess of Darkness
• Easy to acquire? No as Princess of Darkness is quite the challenging descend as the final boss has 6.8 million health on mythical.
• Uses and team roles:  is quite the unique monster and deserves special mentioning as she is capable of forming a 49x damage lead with 4x recovery. However, you must match 6 connected poison orbs to trigger your full multiplier. This unique playstyle offers a new challenge as you must simultaneously manage your health, poison orbs, and dark orbs to deal damage.  is able to be max skilled to a 6-turn cooldown and between the 2 leads, you should be able to chain skyfall actives. Fun to play, but challenging to master is perhaps the best way to summarize  .

King of Hell, Satan

• Best place to find: Satan drops from his own Descend at 100% chance on the single difficulty level.
• How easy to acquire? He is on my 7 descend hit list found in my New Player’s Guide and his dungeon’s main hurdle is overcoming 6.66 million HP (which is crazy high for an old dungeon) but the difficulty is offset/enhanced by no heart orbs spawning.
• Uses and team roles: I use Satan  as a speed farming dark row, devil based team and most notably for King of Gods Farming.  provides an amazing health pool, but you are unable to actually heal any health when matching heart orbs (can still heal via awakenings and actives). This makes his gameplay different as you have to find a balance between stalling and sweeping the floors. Luckily, there are many dark devils available and his triple row enhance can wreck modest bosses when speed farming. I pair  with a Lu Bu  to bring myself to ~40k hp and many row enhance awakenings.

Crazed King of Purgatory, Beelzebub

• Best place to find: Beelzebub  drops from his own descend, Fiend Prince Mythical
• How easy to acquire? I would place Fiend Prince in the middle in terms of descend difficulty as it is relatively straight forward and numerous actives can hard counter the dungeon mechanics. With that being said, it may be best to wait until you develop your teams more or complete other descends.
• Uses and team roles: The crazed motorcycle riding demon acts as a powerful leader especially when paired with Red Sonia  as he provides a large HP boost along with a strong damage multiplier.  ‘s awakenings are sadly TPA  based and that goes against the norm of devils being row based  . However,  ‘s leader skill is still powerful. One neat trick I have learnt while farming King of Gods is that you can use Lu Bu  twice (floor 9 and 10) as Beelzebub provides a heal to push your health above 1 in order to use the second Lu Bu  for the 10th floor.

Rarest/Hardest Descend Drops:

Broad-Minded Hell Deom, Scarlet

• Best place to find: Scarlet  is a guaranteed drop from Scarlet Descended!
• Easy to acquire?  ‘s descends is probably the hardest dungeon to date as it is very unforgiving and your monsters will not level up much due to less floors and no trash mobs. Any mistake is quickly punished by a swift death and clearing, let alone skill her up is a task for only the most veteran players.
• Uses and team roles:  can function as either a mono red lead or sub that places emphasis on fire row  enhances. Furthermore, you can combine her haste mechanic with other skilled up haste monsters to create a “system.” A system is a type of team that can repeatedly chain actives on every floor due to the bountiful haste abilities and low base cooldown. A luxury team consisting of only max skilled  s can in theory use multiple actives every floor and this is referred to as a Scarlet System. Regardless, she can form a 25x multiplier team when matching 10 connected fire orbs. We are still waiting for a stronger row-based red team, but once we have that leader,  will be a wonderful sub.

Giant Arched Sea Dragon King, Volsung

• Best place to find: Volsung  is the final boss drop of his own descend,  Sea Dragon King – Legend Plus
• Easy to acquire? No as this is a legend plus dungeon and your monsters all start at level 1. In addition, the floors leading to the boss are quite challenging and require careful planning and orb management to be successful. Further reading on how I cleared his descend can be found HERE
• Uses and team roles:  has an impressive 8 awakenings along with the coveted Light Kali  style board refresh. Granted,  does reduce dragon and attacker type monsters by 50% for 1 turn, but that is the price you have to pay for one of the most powerful actives in the game. As a lead, he forms a 36x damage dealing rainbow team, but that is sadly not strong enough in today’s meta, and you probably used a stronger team to clear his descend too. Further reading on my impressions of  can be found HERE.

Maleficent Phantom Dragon King, Zaerog∞

• Best place to find: Zaerog Infinity (Z8)  only drops from his own Legend Plus Descend: Zaerog∞ Descended – Special
• Easy to acquire? No! At the time of his release, he was the most challenging descend to date. However, over the past few months, we have gained access to more awoken evolutions and thus making it a bit more manageable. Lastly, the descend gatekeeps newer players as plus eggs have more benefit because they provide their full value regardless of your monster’s levels.
• Uses and team roles: Aside from the pure trophy aspect,  is a top tier lead and sub once max-skilled. However, farming for skill ups can be quite challenging as the dungeon is difficult to clear and requires 10 successful skill ups. The power of enhanced skyfalls, enhanced dark orbs  , and haste result in a fantastic active overall. Some mono dark or combo teams may like to have 2 max skilled  to have a permanent skyfall buff, but that alone is an obscene investment. If you have the capacity to clear and skill him up,  will become a dream monster to have.

Angel of Secret Destiny, Elia

• Best place to find: Elia  is a rare invade in descends during the Angels of Fate Event.
• Easy to acquire?   is perhaps the hardest monster to acquire, let alone skill up as she is a very rare spawn and requires 15 successful skill ups to max skill.
• Uses and team roles:  ‘s shining role as a sub is on Awoken Sakuya  teams as you can remove the unneeded dark orbs as well as providing 1 turn of haste. In addition,  can be used on mono-light teams, healer teams, and god based teams as a powerful orb changer and hard hitting monster with 2 two prong attack  awakenings. As a lead, she can pair with Athena  to provide a tanky and hard hitting light god team. However,  requires an obscene amount of resources to max skill and is out of reach for the majority of players.

 

If you feel I have overlooked certain strengths or missed your favourite farmable monster, please leave a comment below and I will make changes as needed. In addition, I will try to keep this page updated as we acquire more farmable options for our favourite teams.

Happy Puzzling!
