Monster Sanctuary - Best Starter

Monster Sanctuary is a game that combines several genres. However, there is no denying that it was largely created for fans of the Pokemon series.

After all, we are dealing here with a title, in which we will catch and train a ton of various creatures, and later fight numerous battles with their participation.

Like in Pokemon, at the beginning of the game we get the opportunity to choose our starter "pet". Here you will learn more about them.

Monster Sanctuary - starter list

Starting a game in Monster Sanctuary, you will be able to choose from four starter creatures. They belong to the Spectral Familiars group, and below you will find a list of them with a brief description.

1. Spectral Wolf - One of the most popular creatures in the Monster Sanctuary community. It is able to break through hidden walls and vines. It has an extra equipment slot and increases the chance of a critical hit.
2. Spectral Lion - Is able to break through hidden walls and vines. Increases the critical hit chance of every creature on the team by 1% for every buff applied to it. Can apply effects to allied creatures twice (the second buff is 50% weaker).
3. Spectral Eagle - Has the ability to fly and equip two weapons. Increases damage dealt and reduces damage received, and reduces cost in Mana by 1% for each Charge effect applied.
4. Spectral Toad - is able to break through hidden walls and move heavy blocks. All healing abilities guarantee the Charge effect to healed creatures (effect can accumulate). Reduces damage received and increases damage dealt by 1% for every 20 units of mana.

Monster Sanctuary - which starter is the best?

As a matter of fact, all of the starter creatures have their strengths and weaknesses. Their proper use, in turn, depends on their proper composition with the rest of the team of three creatures.

Spectral Wolf and Spectral Lion, however, are great creatures in their own right. Both have well-balanced stats and powerful abilities. This means they are capable of influencing the outcome of a clash singlehandedly.

For novice players, Spectral Toad or Spectral Eagle may be a better choice. The former has healing abilities, while the latter has a resurrection ability.

Both skils can make the game much easier in the initial phase. This way you will limit your losses and have creatures that support the rest of the team very well.

In addition, Spectral Toad is a very tough creature that is not so easy to defeat. It also benefits from powerful attacks that hit several enemies at once. It is also the only of the Spectral Familiars to have 28 points in its stats to start (other creatures have 27 points).

So, if you don't know which creature to opt for, then. Spectral Toad is probably the best choice.
