I just evolved my Naga into an Echidna, and since she's an Early Riser, that means that it took only 3 levels for her stats to be better than the level 25 Naga's. Echidna currently at level 9.
My other monsters are currently Horus at 26, Tyrannos at Max, Red Dragon at max and Samurai Goblin at 22 with level 4 active skill.
(Amusingly enough, I also managed to get a Black Dragon from the Pal Machine, funny how I don't need him anymore.)
Regardless, I still have problems killing the boss at the Burning Tree Path, which makes me worried about the Sea Cave Mercury, especially because I'm running a mono-fire team :derp:
Also, is there any strategy to easily getting a Keeper of Flame? He's the only thing between me and Firedragon Tyrannos, which brings with him a x2 ATK boost to my mono-fire team, better than the x1,5 he currently has. I'm currently only 3 ranks away from getting enough cost to use him, which I'll probably get until Tuesday.
Also, any good replacements for my Samurai Goblin? He won't last forever after all. I mean, there's red sonia (Which would be awesome especially after I can get Meteor Volcano Dragon), and Titan/Gigas, but Titan is kinda/sorta a hard drop and getting Sonia from the REM is going to be :ohdear:
