Can someone help me choosing core Monster for RTA. Before u ask. Yes i did look online for Teams but all the teams i saw have one or two monster that i dont own for example Haegang for Bruiser or Oliver for Speed... and more.

Please take a look at #guides ⁠, there are many detailed guides for all areas of both PvE and PvP (it's not just for beginners) with tons of different team suggestions and explanations of how to rune them.

We recommend completely finishing PvE before starting with dedicated PvP teams. This game is all about runes, and without being able to farm for those runes then no combination of even the best monsters in the game will give you any success in PvP.

The more effort you put into asking for help, the better help you'll get. Show that you've done a bit of research yourself first. What have you tried so far? Based on the suggestions in the guide, what teams do you think would be good?

Teams that I tried and some things i noticed:
Vanessa / Miles / Wind VanillaCookie / Adrianna / water Ciri
(If Vanessa is banned then ciri is useless or my team is getting outspd , if Adrianna is banned iam most of the time getting cced to death)

Shizuka / Destiny / fire Kassandra / Racuni / Adrianna
(They can outspd and control me)

Vanessa / Miles / Wind Monkey / Rakan / Wind VanillaCookie
(Now there is two spd lead but no immunity and no spd threats)

Seara / Vanessa / water ryu / Shizuka / Destiny
(They can ban one dps and just pick Oliver and another spd lead and focus my one dps and cd reset shizuka)

#

#

As u can see most of the time iam getting controlled by tons of debuffs. It doesnt matter if i outspd them or not. When i outspd them and set up immunity they just strip me afterward. When i cant outspd then good for them they can safe the strip skill and go for a utility skill instead

#

I did my homework and research but i still can not figure out how i can make the best out of my box

#

Iam hovering between c1 and c2

#

I also watch high rank rta matches but most of the time like 95% they are using some shiny ld toys or oliver or haegang

#

most of my dd have around 140+ spd with only Water ciri got 200+spd
Adrianna Racuni WaterRyu have 200+ spd
and other Support around 170+ spd

Did you read the rta section in #1412105543967047680 ?

#

It is pretty new and goes into detail on drafting and specific units you can pick

#

It was not in the old beginner PvP guide or any of the rta commands

I did read your guide, it was great. Based on your guide I made this box with core Vanessa Seara Miles Jeogun Ethna and the Rest are counter or filler if my monster get picked. Still have to test how viable it is

#

I was secod pick was commiting to spd right? ethna was outspeeding the eshir i tried to s3 moore but he didnt get cc. Should i have bannned another mon?

#

Fire jin was very anoying

#

Could be rune issue

#

Draft not that bad

#

Also I would stop first picking Vanessa so much, seara would be a better spd lead for you especially if you like jeogun

#

These are my runes. Maybe my dds are too slow

#

Should i rune my ethna slower so that she move After jeogun. Can’t make my jeogun faster than ethna with his base spd

prisma stirrup Dec 13, 2025, 1:25 AM

#

show screenshots with rune sets next time

#

like this

#

#

assuming these are all vio/will or swift/x they're ok

#

ethna should not go after jeogun, she is a 1st turn contest unit

#

but yea i guess main thing is you're not drafting units that go well together

#

and vanessa completely makes no sense

#

most people draft vanessa on your fastest vio set to go first and strip/set up a def break for someone else

#

you don't need to build damage on her, but you do need accuracy on her, and you do need her ot be faster than your main dds like seara

#

i see that you have a lot of the more meta monsters - any reason you don't pick things like shi hou and josephine?

#

unless you really like some of your units in particular and are trying to force them

#

you really should just go down the list in #1412105543967047680 and prioritize them according to that list

#

they are in order of how strong they are in the meta right now

They have no skills up and iam out of devilmons. Can u tell me which monster doesnt fit into the Team? Is it Vanessa because her Defense break is not useful for seara and miles that ignore defense? Should I swap Vanessa out for Wind Monkey or Water Ryu? I also have light Jacko lantern should I use him instead of Miles then Vanessa DEF break is not too useless? Will try to build vanessa faster

Swapped Miles with Light Jackolantern and my Team is working better now (that what i saw in the last 10 matches). I have way more dmg and i am less scared of stuns. I can delete squishy threats reliable unlike before
