Monster Super League Leveling and Progression [Guide]

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Monster Super League Progression guide. Here you’re going to learn simple and efficient ways to progress through the game. Getting you used to the basics to knowing where to spend your Astrogems. So let’s get started!

Starting off

In Monster Super League you’re going to be spending your time collecting and battling creatures known as Astromon. So the first thing you want to do is the tutorial.

Like any game you start by learning the basics and in the basics of MSL you learn and gain quite a bit. Gain a couple Astromon and collecting some items and Astrogems.

Once you finish the tutorial you are set off on your own and ready to figure out what to do next and how to do it. Our first real stop is the airship.

Airship

The hub world of MSL is the airship. Looks small from the main screen  and may not seem like much but there is one thing to do here that is helpful.

Every so often you’ll see little sparkles around the airship match, tap those sparkles! You’ll get gold and also an item every time you do.

Whether it be more gold, some energy, and even sometimes you can get Astrogems if you’re lucky. It maybe a small note but it’s very much worth the tapping effort so always check the airship.

Story Mode

The area where you’ll be spending most of your time is going to be in Story Mode. Going through Story Mode is going to get you experience for your Astromon, items to help them grow, and it’s also where you catch more Astromon.

In Story Mode the best thing to do is just go with it. Follow it from the first level to as far as you can until it starts getting difficult.

Once you hit the difficulty spike is when you need to start leveling and enhancing your Astromon. But to do that you’re going to need items you get from story mode. Specifically gems.

Gems are something you get almost every time you complete a story mission. You can equip gems to increase an Astromons stats.

And that’s where we get into training our Astromechs. There’s a lot you can do but i’m going to give you the basics to get you started.

Monster Screen – Leveling, Equipping, and Evolving your Astromon.

On the Monster screen you have several options to go through. Picking the Astromon you want to focus on, equipping them with gems, leveling them up, and evolving or ascending them.

First thing you want to do though is pick what Astromon you want to put your time into. You’ll usually be using a team of four in every mission but there’s always going to be one playing leader.

I suggest picking anything above a two star for your leader. So pick a three star you got during the tutorial and let’s start building them up.

Leveling up your Astromon is actually really simple. You can get experience just by battling with them in Story mode but you can also feed them fruit or other items to level them up too.

Using fruit is probably the fastest way to gain levels but should also be used sparingly. You never know when you may get more so always play conservatively.

Next is Equipment.

Equipping gems is important because of their ability to raise stats. But you also want to pay attention to what you’re equipping to what Astromon.

Don’t just throw all your HP Gems onto a random Astromon to buff up their HP. A lot of it will help but if they have bad defense it isn’t going to get them anywhere.

Pay attention to their stats and see what they’re strong in. Equip gems that help make them better in those stats for more efficiency.

On top of equipping you can also upgrade your gems. Just tap on one and hit upgrade then spend some gold to increase its power.

Last but not least on your Astromons is Evolving and Ascending.

Ascension and Evolution are both very important and honestly not something you’ll be able to do right off the bat. But it doesn’t hurt for you to have a little insight before hand.

Ascension raises an Astromons rank by one every time they ascend. So a two star can ascend to a three star and a three can ascend to a four.

To ascend your Astromon you’re going to need Starstones and elemental stones. You can get them by playing through dungeons which you unlock after getting half way through the second story mode area.

Evolution however changes the way your Astromon looks. Bringing them to the next level and raising their stats.

To evolve you need to have variants of the Astromon. Variants can be gotten through Astromon summons at random. They’re rare so it’ll probably take some time for you to get some.

Gathering Astrogems

Here’s where we get into the long term part of the game. Astrogems are your key to getting more Astromon and there are many ways to get Astrogems in game with out spending a dime! (Though you can buy some if you choose to).

The easiest way to get Astrogems is simply by collecting Astromon.

In the Astroguide you get a list of all the Astromon in game. The ones you have are going to be high lighted and tapping them will grant you a number of Astrogems. So the more you collect the more gems you get

But you can also get gems from capturing Astromon as quests. In the capture tab you can complete certain requirements to get a nice amount of gems.

For example, catching all Astromon seen in the Phantom Forest story area gives you sixty Astrogems. So by far this is going to be the best way to gather them.

And of course you always want to do quests and missions.

Something you always want to be doing is your missions. Even if you aren’t worried about Astrogems you get a lot of great things by following the mission requirements.

One of those things being Astrogems, and one of them being a free Astromon at the end of every mission chapter. So the little bits of extra work are worth it.

Quests however are slightly different than Missions because they offer a lot more with what you have to do to get the rewards. There are five types of quests you can choose from

Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Challenges, and Capture.

Each column has their own list of quests and they’re all different. Some give you energy or gold but a lot of them offer Astrogems.

By playing an elemtnal dungeon you get five Astrogems as a Daily. It may not seem like a lot but doing that every day will start to add up.

So remember always check for Missions and Quests. The extra effort is worth the reward and it helps with stacking up those Astrogems.

Spending Astrogems

Now as for spending your Astrogems it all varies on what you’re looking for when you play. You can use them to buy more energy or gold if you want but my personal preference is to use them on Summons.

Summoning Astromon is the best way to get higher ranked ones with out having to ascend the ones you have. You can spend sixty gems for a single summon or six hundred for a multi summon.

The single summon may seem tempting because of the price but if you hold out and do the multi summon. With the multi summon you get a guaranteed Variant in the pack which is something you can use to evolve your Astromon.

So when it comes to getting started and progressing in Monster Super League I’ve give you the basics to survive. Focus on Story mode, it’s fun and gets you going real quick.

And it’s nice to save up those Astrogems and aim for a multi summon. You don’t have to though, they’re your gems to spend after all.

So enjoy collecting Astromon and battling them to their full potential. Until next time, have fun!
