Step-by-step

Follow the in-game plan

Use the video as the walkthrough, then use these notes as the practical checklist.

Refresh rewards before you grind

EP2 starts on a new day and a new event, so the first move is not grinding. It is checking the newest codes, daily chest, event eggs, and Spire refreshes before spending time.

  • Check current codes first.
  • Claim the daily chest.
  • Use event eggs to round out a three-monster team.

Use feeder pets to skip weak leveling

The video shows why feeder pets matter: low-value monsters can be leveled during auto-farm and then fed into stronger event monsters when you hatch them.

  • Keep a few feeder pets leveling while your carry farms.
  • Feed them into the new event monsters you actually want to use.
  • Do not waste limited fruit on monsters you know you will drop quickly.

Use Spire and weather together

Spire becomes much stronger when rain, snow, weekend boosts, and XP or coin potions line up. EP2 shows that stack turning into faster gold, levels, and Tower Gems.

  • Rain helps coin farming.
  • Snow helps experience gains.
  • Use boost potions when you can spend the timer productively.

Compare monsters before overinvesting

The Stat Simulator lets you compare monsters at equal rank and level. That matters because the strongest-looking monster is not always the best team slot once health, damage, passives, and mutations are considered.

  • Compare the same rank and level.
  • Consider health and passives, not only damage.
  • Use CAM Hub and Discord when you are unsure.

Enhance the team before retrying a boss wall

When Frostwyrm becomes the wall, the route uses gear rolls, Potential Serum, and more auto-farm time rather than forcing a weak attempt. That is the key beginner lesson: raise the ceiling, then retry.

  • Roll gear with auto-sell configured.
  • Use Potential Serum for early guaranteed upgrades.
  • Auto-farm to the current max level before forcing the next boss.

FAQ

Catch A Monster early game power spike questions

Quick answers for the route, materials, mechanics, and next steps covered in the video.

What should I do after the first Catch A Monster beginner guide?

Claim current event rewards, hatch more event eggs, level the best monsters with feeder pets, push the next boss wall, and use Spire, gear, and Potential Serum before walking away to auto-farm.

Why use friend luck before hatching event eggs?

Friend luck can improve your chance at better-rank pets, so Cyclone9 checks the server friends before opening important event eggs.

Is auto-farming required after EP2?

Some form of auto-farm or active leveling is the clean answer when the team is below the current max level. EP2 ends by setting up the account for that level jump into EP3.

What is Potential Serum for?

Potential Serum enhances pets. In the video, the first enhancement level is a guaranteed upgrade and a practical way to make the team stronger before another boss attempt.
