    Q: What are the "Protectors" in Monster Carnival?

    FAQs about best job, 1H or 2H
    Q1: What's the best job in CPQ for getting high CP/clearing mobs in room 3/4?
    A1: Best would be Brawler in terms of clearing speed but also cost a fortune (needs massive funding), most optimal in terms of the budget would be Fighter (comes with WA 12 Rage buff)

    Q2: As a fighter, is 1H + shield better than 2H?
    A2: I would say yes and no at the same time

    Yes in terms of attack range - 1H + shield is indeed a higher WA range than 2H when the conditions of comparing are fair
    No in terms of the cost needed - 1H + shield cost way higher than getting a proper 2H (Japanese Map)

    range.png

    Attack Range
    - WA 95 Japanese Map (1213~2141)
    - WA 95 Diao Chan + WA 20 Shield (1261~2217)

    Cost
    - WA 95 Japanese Map, about 500m
    - WA 95 Diao Chan, about 500m or higher
    - WA 20 shield, about 500m or higher

    What do you like about Monster Carnival? :
    I like Monster Carnival to a large extent, for both the competitive play and also the 'team bonding' to a certain extent.
    To me, Monster Carnival is not just about who deals the higher damage, is about teammates working together to outplay the opponents with Skills & Protectors.

    The part of 'teamwork' is more obvious when we play in terms of competitive (no swap), not that I'm encouraging no swap to everyone, just my opinion of how the teamwork can play a bigger role when Skills & Protectors are involved.

    The element of 'teamwork' is definitely more obvious in the game mode 3v3, room 5/6 as everyone need to do their part.
    Who is gonna hit the Protectors?
    Who is gonna continue to kill the monsters?

    Possible to play Skills and Protectors in 2v2, room 3/4 as well, but the cooperation is kinda limited as 1 person will hit Protector, while another continue to kill monsters.

    It would be damn chaotic and fun to have 6v6 in room 5/6, just for the lolz of it

    What's your favorite monster(s) in Monster Carnival? :
    In terms of EXP, I would say Robos & Rombots.

    Robos are quite easy to kill (about 3k HP), possible to solo it at level 35 onwards (for the mobbers)
    Rombots is of course for the awesome EXP, and also the feeling of downing it (about 6k HP)

    In terms of competitive play, I would probably choose Master Chronos & Rombots.
    The reason of why I chose them is pretty simple - for their damage

    Master Chronos deals the highest magic damage, able to snipe from far and also has high avoid.
    Putting Protectors like Magic and Avoid up will give opponents hell

    Rombots also deal the highest damage, in terms of physical (mega punch)
    It is also quite tanky with 6k HP, adding protectors of Power and Speed Up can mess up the enemies

    There's also the factor of CP to consider, 12 or 30
    I summon either based on situation
    Equipments
