Unlock and Rules
Super Monster Rush Season 2 becomes available from the event menu after clearing Chapter 4 Stage 20.
Event Rules
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Stamina cost | None |
| Attempts | Unlimited |
| Format | Score attack across 3 stages (Stage 1 and Stage 2 open; Stage 3 scheduled from June 23) |
| Scoring | Based on clear time, damage taken, and other stage-specific factors |
| Rewards | Super Monster Rush Medals + class-based rewards |
Because there is no stamina cost, you can repeat stages as many times as needed to improve your score or farm medals. Auto-play may work on Stage 2 once your team is strong enough, but Stage 1 field fire makes manual play safer. Check each stage before enabling auto-play.
What’s New in Season 2
Season 2 introduces a new set of stages with different bosses and mechanics compared to Season 1. The core format remains the same: score attack with no stamina cost and unlimited attempts. Stage 1 and Stage 2 are currently open; Stage 3 is scheduled from June 23. Key differences include:
- New stage layouts and bosses: Each stage has a distinct arena shape and enemy composition.
- Stage 3 vertical layout: Enemies spawn from the top of the screen, changing positioning strategy. (Season 1 layout; Season 2 details pending.)
- Updated exchange shop lineup: Check in-game for the current set of exchangeable items and their medal costs.
Stage Guide Summary
| Stage | Boss / Theme | Weakness | Key Mechanic | Recommended Approach |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | Killer Panther | Fire useful against many enemies | Avoid Claw and Whip attacks; corner camping effective | Fire weapons; arrow builds; corner positioning |
| Stage 2 | Ice-weak boss | Ice | Wall-piercing attacks; turret placement matters | Ice weapons; Blue Steel Machine Lance; Finish Charge priority |
| Stage 3 | Vertical stage | Water (Meda) — Season 1 layout; Season 2 details pending | Enemies spawn from top; sword-wielding monsters | Details pending; check in-game after June 23 |
Recommended Weapons and Builds
Stage 1: Killer Panther (Fire-Favored Against Many Enemies)
| Build Element | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Main weapon | Fire-attribute weapons (check in-game for current fire spears/staves) |
| Weapon type to avoid | Claw and Whip (ineffective against this boss’s patterns) |
| Positioning | Corner camping to limit boss movement |
| Adventure skills | Arrow-type skills for safe ranged damage |
Stage 2: Ice Weakness
| Build Element | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Main weapon | Blue Steel Machine Lance (ice spear) or ice-attribute staves |
| Key mechanic | Wall-piercing attacks; place turrets to cover multiple lanes |
| Special gauge priority | Finish Charge (maximize burst during vulnerability windows) |
| Adventure skills | Arrow skills with ice damage boost; turret placement skills |
Stage 3: Vertical Stage (Season 1 Layout; Season 2 Details Pending)
| Build Element | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Main weapon | Check in-game after Stage 3 opens on June 23 |
| Job combo | Check in-game after Stage 3 opens on June 23 |
| Positioning | Check in-game after Stage 3 opens on June 23 |
| Adventure skills | Check in-game after Stage 3 opens on June 23 |
The following notes are based on the Season 1 vertical stage layout and may change when Season 2 Stage 3 opens:
- Enemies spawn from the top of a vertical stage.
- Sword-wielding monsters are common; a Warrior/Thief/Warrior sword combo build handled the Season 1 version well.
- Water-based Meda weapons matched the Season 1 stage’s elemental alignment.
Strategy Points
General Score Attack Tips
- Minimize damage taken: Avoiding damage is one of the highest-weighted scoring factors. Practice boss patterns until you can dodge consistently.
- Maximize clear speed: Faster clears award more points. Use burst damage during vulnerability windows and prioritize Finish Charge on Stage 2.
- Use the right element: Stage 2 has a clear ice weakness. Stage 1 favors fire weapons against many enemies even though the boss has no elemental weakness. Stage 3 details are pending.
- Auto-play for farming: Auto-play may work on Stage 2 once you have a reliable clear, but Stage 1 field fire makes manual play safer. Check each stage before enabling auto-play.
Stage-Specific Tips
Stage 1 — Killer Panther
- Fire weapons are useful against many enemies, but the boss has no elemental weakness. Avoid claw and whip weapons as they struggle against this encounter’s patterns.
- Corner camping is effective: position in a corner to restrict the boss’s movement and concentrate your attacks.
- Arrow builds allow safe damage from a distance while avoiding melee retaliation.
Stage 2 — Ice Weakness
- Ice weapons are essential. Blue Steel Machine Lance is a strong pick if available.
- Wall-piercing attacks and turret placement help control the arena.
- Save your special gauge for Finish Charge to maximize damage during the boss’s vulnerability phase.
Stage 3 — Vertical Layout (Season 1 Layout; Season 2 Details Pending)
- Enemies spawn from the top of a vertical stage.
- Sword-wielding monsters are common; a Warrior/Thief/Warrior sword combo build handled the Season 1 version well.
- Water-based Meda weapons matched the Season 1 stage’s elemental alignment. Check in-game for current water weapon options after Stage 3 opens on June 23.
