This is a work in progress.

Overview

Why you should be a spirit beast battler

People play with Spirit Beasts for multiple reasons. One reason is the joy of finding and collecting rare or interesting spirit beasts from various parts of the world. Another reason is for the rewards which include experience and gems. A full list of rewards can be found on here.

Where do I start?

First, make sure you have read the main spirit beast page to gain a basic understanding of how the system works. Next, the spirit beast stats page has a list of all known spirit beasts to see which spirit beast you might want to use.

Finally, you must decide how much you want to get out of the spirit beast system:

If you just want to collect spirit beasts and just have fun, then you don't need any in-depth help or preparations.

If you goal is the daily experience bonus (100 exp per fight, 1000 per day) then any spirit beast will due because you gain the experience regardless if you win or lose your battles. As long as you do Training matches in Talondown, your beast will not lose loyalty either.

If you have your eye on the Talondown Arena gem pouches, which each contain 20k-25k worth of gems, then you will want a strong spirit beast to consistently win in the arena to get as many bloodsteel marks as possible since wins award 48-53 marks while losses award 12-15 marks.

To participate and win the weekly challenge for the gilded lockbox, you will want a high level spirit beast and have a reasonable amount of skill to defeat all 7 opponents. Using Ampoules and Armaments are not necessary but can help against bad match ups.

Lastly, to get the gilded lockbox from Listed Fights, you need to be in the top three players for the week and only can only lose 3 times before you are out. Combined with the fact that the level 20 spirit beasts you fight are much stronger than the Training and Weekly fights, you will need to do everything in your power to win. Having a perfect quaility, level 20 spirit beast with a potent armament and maxed stats from ampoules is recommended.
