Tactical Monsters Rumble Arena: How to grow your monster squad fast

Posted by Nicholas Tylwalk on January 29th, 2018

It's not glamorous work wrangling monsters in Tactical Monsters Rumble Arena, at least to start. The game features legendary creatures like Dracula and Medusa, but they aren't on your roster when you begin playing, and you could find yourself decidedly underwhelmed by your early game choices.

In fact, just playing through the campaign missions in order, you could find yourself unable to even field a full team of five monsters for some time. Fortunately, we've uncovered some tips on how to expand your squad much faster and even give yourself a shot at the Monstrous and Diabolic monsters that will become the centerpiece of your team.

Tactical Monsters Rumble Arena: Your guide to monster vs. monster tips and tactics

Posted by Nicholas Tylwalk on January 29th, 2018

You've played turn-based tactics games on your phone or tablet before. I don't even need to know you to know that's true. But have you ever played with a squad full of famous monsters? Tactical Monsters Rumble Arena (which we're going to call simply Tactical Monsters from here on out) wagers that you have not, and that you'll have a good time doing it.

Going from just a single orc to a roster full of heavy hitters like Dracula, Medusa and more takes some doing, but getting there is more than half the fun in this case. Soak up all of our Tactical Monsters tips and tricks for a monstrous amount of knowledge on how to play the game better.
