SMASH Monsters is a new game by A Thinking Ape, Inc for the iOS platform. This oddball RPG plays like Rampage meets Pokemon, whereby your goal is to take a team of monsters and destroy cities, each one on a 3×3 grid, but of course, the cities attack back, making it more than just a one sided crush fest. Read on for some tips and tricks for SMASH Monsters!
Make sure that you do the battles based on the elements. When it comes to monsters vs cities, red beats green, green beats blue, and blue beats red. If you get the element advantage right, you will get bonus damage against the squares that you aim at. For the most part, always go for the greatest element advantage, and always have a diverse team of monsters.
The only exception, of course, is when you are trying to finish off one block at a time in order to cause explosions. When you blow up a piece of the city it will cause damage to the pieces adjacent to it, and sometimes even to additional pieces. The bigger a combo that you chain together, the more damage you’ll cause to other buildings.
You’ll earn rare and epic monsters from the various Element X formulas that you find, and common monsters can be found in battle. Sacrifice the common monsters in order to power up the rare monsters, increase their experience levels and their statistics. Go back to old stages if you are stuck on a current stage, so that you can rack up these monsters to use as sacrifices.
Once you have upgraded a monster to the maximum level, you can transform them using a specific recipe of monsters to sacrifice. These are more difficult to pull off, especially because they cost a LOT of gold, but they are worth it for the major statistical increase.
Element X monster summons can be expensive, but right now, during the holiday season, you can purchase a Holiday Monsters package for only half of the Element X that an Epic Monster package would cost. The only difference is that there is a chance for a silver monster in the holiday package too, but there is also a chance for gold, platinum or platinum holiday monsters.
