Monster Slayer Trial

Monster Slayer is one of the major bi-weekly Trials in Dragon Strike. It is completable by almost all Players and offers excellent Reward Loot that makes it a virtual necessity for active Players.

The concept is that a rotating list of about 30 random Monsters are given point values the Player can earn by killing them in Campaign, Dungeon, or Tournament Battles. Players who accumulate enough points will earn Reward Loot from five Tier levels. Additionally, elite Players can earn additional loot for placing high in the global Solo Rankings.

## Strategy

Use link above to find the Campaign Battle with most efficient use of Campaign Energy and that you can finish. Most Players will want the most efficient Battle that they can finish on Auto, but those without maxed Teams will have to make a choice between Auto on a lower level and manually playing a higher level Battle for more points, or a combination of both. Do all of your farming on that Battle, as often as possible.

Use link above to find Tournament Stage that you can finish with most points, preferably one you can Auto finish. Start your Tournament on that difficulty and play up until that Stage, then re-run only that Stage. Monster Slayer ends on Sunday, so will have time to finish Tournament (which ends Monday) after you finish Monster Slayer.

If not going to accumulate enough points for completing Tier 5, and intend to spend Gems on Energy Refills (which is generally considered a good use of Gems), figure out which option, Campaign or Tournament, is your most efficient use. For a Player who can Auto Brutal 15 and Campaign up to Area 30, is not VIP, and Level 33-58:

Red Best
Campaign = 78 \* 4 / 400 = .78
Tournament = 110 \* 8 / 1800 = .48

Blue Best
Campaign = 88 \* 4 / 400 = .88
Tournament = 106 \* 8 / 1800 = .46

Purple Best
Campaign = 112 \* 4 / 400 = 1.12
Tournament = 126 \* 8 / 1800 = .56

Yellow Best
Campaign = 88 \* 4 / 400 = .88
Tournament = 150 \* 8 / 1800 = .67

Green Best
Campaign = 126 \* 4 / 400 = 1.26
Tournament = 140 \* 8 / 1800 = .62

As shown, using Gems to refill Campaign Energy is massively more practical. Additionally, running more Campaign Stages will benefit you in the concurrently running Treasure Hoarder Trial. And if you are VIP with double Campaign Energy, this becomes an even greater advantage.
