A: Monsters that can be summoned for the opposing party Chart for Monsters Note: Rombots cost 22 CP to summon in room 1/2, 30 CP in others Spoiler: Skills Q: What are the "Skills" in Monster Carnival? A: Debuffs to weaken or distract the opponents Chart for Skills Spoiler: Protectors Q: What are the "Protectors" in Monster Carnival? A: Protectors are buffs that can be cast on the summoned monsters (opponents), they will appear as a pillar with a gem on top (either Blue or Red, depending on your team) Chart for Protectors FAQs about best job, 1H or 2H Spoiler: FAQs 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) 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 Template if you want to share your love for Monster Carnival Spoiler: Introduction Template IGN : (name) Job : What do you like about Monster Carnival? : (Can be about the gameplay, EXP or anything you like about it) What's your favorite monster(s) in Monster Carnival? : (example, Trojans?) Notes: I apologize in advance if there are any mistakes in the simplified explanation of Monster Carnival Do let me know if you see any, thanks~
IGN : CrimsonClaw Job : Fighter What do you like about Monster Carnival? : Spoiler: Paragraph of 175 words 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? : Spoiler: Paragraph of 149 words 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 Spoiler: My CPQ gears
Just saw a post about Monster Carnival being buggy during 2014 Quote: "Do your best not to die, because currently dying is glitched and so you'll be unable to rejoin the team until the next game if you do, thus also not getting any exp." Source: https://royals.ms/forum/threads/how-does-carnival-pq-work.15346/#post-86780 That's some hardcore Monster Carnival lol
Able to solo 2.9k if no stuns, in swap situation probably 2.3k the most Edit note: Originally uploaded 2.6k, but managed to renew high score again
IGN : Melanchorus Job : Page (to be) What do you like about Monster Carnival? : 10mins to kill waves of monsters is fun. What's your favorite monster(s) in Monster Carnival? : Trojans or rombots with the speed up tower! I Will be making a page mule for CPQ. Looking forward to join you guys. Used to CPQ quite avidly in maplesea, my record was 2.5k cp with a dawn warrior!
Nice, I used to play CPQ in MapleSEA - Bootes as well, with Soul Master - high score 2.3k Buddy me at ClawMC once you feel like joining Welcome~
Kinda forgot my Soul Master's IGN Should be SoulMG or something Gonna record a video of friendly competition once we have enough members Regret that I didn't manage to retain any memories for Monster Carnival from Bootes era
Recorded a video of soloing Room 4 - Rombots Hope can take video of PvP in Room 5 in the future Crammed the 10 minutes into 2 minutes~
Able to leech Robo / Rombots at Level 30 Trojans need level 35 I think Unable to find their levels despite googling
Not possible to use that as the source, as the monsters in Monster Carnival are different level Supposed if Toy Trojan is level 39, leech level would be 39-5 = 34 But the library also says Rombot is level 47, which is impossible to leech at level 30 if that's true https://royals.ms/library/?page=monsters&id=4130103
