Tier Snapshot
Current Route Priority Board
This board ranks monsters by the decision they improve: boss eggs, Mega material value, Bamboo Temple routing, and early-team stability.
Ranking basis: Route and investment priority, not raw combat power.
Best for route and investment priority across the current community-reported data set.

Pick by Player Goal
Need one carry
Keep XP and rerolls focused on one reliable fighter before spreading resources across route monsters.
Need boss eggs
Move from Serpent Deity into Sealed Calamity or Verdant Stag only when the team can clear the fight cleanly.
Need Mega value
Compare Flora Hair and Snow Loom rolls before spending Purple Crystal, Ferns, or Ice Crystals.
Need map progress
Treat Bamboo Temple monsters as route goals first, then decide which ones deserve team investment.
Upgrade Order
- 1Lock one early carry before splitting XP.
- 2Save Bloodline Rerolls until Level 7 opens the second free slot.
- 3Farm the easiest boss egg route before pushing harder island bosses.
- 4Keep Trait and Mutation fruit for monsters with a clear team role.
- 5Compare Flora Hair and Snow Loom before spending shared Mega materials.
- 6Recheck Bamboo Temple and update-route monsters after each patch.
Roll Stop Points
Bloodline keeps
Best saved for monsters that will stay in the team past the next island.
Trait keeps
Use these as stop points before burning more fruit on a temporary base.
Mutation keeps
Prioritize monsters with boss, hatch, Mega, or catch-support value.
Current route snapshot
The strongest current route anchors are Flora Hair, Snow Loom, Serpent Deity, Sealed Calamity, and Verdant Stag because they connect to Mega materials, Boss egg progress, or major update gates. Bamboo Temple monsters sit behind those anchors until their exact long-term roles are clearer.
- S route anchors: Flora Hair, Snow Loom, Serpent Deity.
- A progression anchors: Sealed Calamity, Verdant Stag, Bambit.
- B route coverage: Ember Cub, Silva Loom, Volt Kit, Kung Fu Weasel.
- Use tiers to choose where rare materials go first.
How the ranking works
Rank monsters by the route they improve: early-game clearing, bossing, catching, hatch value, map access, evolution value, Mega value, and how easily the monster can be replaced. A monster that opens a bottleneck route can rank higher than a monster that only looks strong on paper.
- Boss egg access beats collection-only value.
- Mega candidates need a strong base roll before material spending.
- Update-route monsters need role testing before full investment.
- A good Trait or Mutation matters less if the base monster is temporary.
Use by decision
If you are choosing a carry, start with monster route value. If you pulled a rare Trait or Mutation, judge the base monster first. If you are spending Purple Crystal, compare Flora Hair and Snow Loom before touching the shared bottleneck item.
- Need early stability: build one carry and delay panic rerolls.
- Need boss progress: route toward Serpent Deity, Sealed Calamity, or Verdant Stag.
- Need Mega value: compare Flora Hair and Snow Loom rolls.
- Need update coverage: farm Bamboo Temple targets without overspending.
Bloodline priority
Bloodlines are strongest when they land on a monster that will stay useful past the next island. Exile Celestial, Picomori, and Sealed Calamity are the best stop points in the current planning model, while weaker rolls can be kept temporarily until Level 7 opens the second free Bloodline slot.
- Save serious Bloodline Rerolls until the base monster is worth keeping.
- Do not reroll every new monster immediately.
- Treat the second free Bloodline slot as the first major reroll checkpoint.
Trait priority
Lord, Detached, Herald, and Precision are the main Trait stop points because they support carry value, consistency, or boss-route pressure. A good Trait on a replaceable monster is still a temporary win, not a reason to spend every rare layer.
- Keep premium Traits on Boss egg, Mega, hidden, or route-anchor monsters.
- Use weaker Traits as temporary leveling support.
- Recheck Trait value after balance and island updates.
Mutation priority
Naughty, Hardy, and Brave are the Mutation keeps most worth tracking for current route planning. Use them to support a monster that already has a clear job: clearing, bossing, catching, hatching, or Mega preparation.
- Do not use mutation fruit just because a monster is new.
- Prioritize keeper monsters with a route job.
- If the monster will be replaced soon, save the fruit.
Mega material rule
Flora Hair and Snow Loom are the cleanest public Mega planning routes, but Purple Crystal is the bottleneck. Compare base quality, Trait, Mutation, team role, and material route before choosing Clover Mist or Snow Luna.
- Flora Hair path: Clover Mist route with Ferns.
- Snow Loom path: Snow Luna route with Ice Crystals.
- Purple Crystal should wait until the base roll is strong enough.
Patch watchlist
After each update, revisit Bamboo Temple monsters, Verdant Stag rewards, hatch timers, Mega materials, Bloodline value, and any new code rewards. These are the areas most likely to change the next tier snapshot.
- Watch Bamboo Temple route monsters first.
- Check boss reward changes before farming long sessions.
- Update the tier board when a monster gains a clearer role.
