Getting Started

Montabi Beginner Guide

Montabi combines creature collecting, deckbuilding, tactical positioning, and roguelike progression. Each run revolves around building a three-Montabi team, improving its card pool, making efficient upgrade choices, and adapting your strategy to randomized encounters.

1

Choose Your Starting Montabi

Begin a run by selecting from the available starter Montabi. Pay attention to the cards and combat role each starter provides instead of judging the creature only by its base power.

2

Build a Three-Montabi Team

Your active team contains three Montabi. Combine creatures whose cards, positioning requirements, and abilities support one another rather than filling the team with three creatures that perform the same job.

3

Learn the 3x3 Battle Grid

Combat takes place on a 3x3 tactical grid where positioning affects how attacks and abilities work. Check targeting patterns before committing cards so your Montabi remain in useful positions for the next action.

4

Keep Your Deck Focused

Montabi contains more than 570 cards, but adding every available card makes a run less consistent. Prioritize cards that strengthen your team's main strategy and avoid unnecessary cards that dilute important draws.

5

Tame New Montabi

Runs give you opportunities to expand your creature options by taming Montabi. Consider what the new creature contributes to your existing team before changing a lineup that already has strong synergy.

6

Choose Upgrades Around Synergy

Use upgrades to reinforce combinations that are already working. Card interactions, creature abilities, positioning, and evolution choices are more valuable when they contribute to one clear battle plan.

7

Adapt to Each Roguelike Run

Encounter paths and available options vary between runs. A strong Montabi player adapts the deck and team to what appears instead of trying to reproduce exactly the same build every time.

Quick Tips

  • Judge starters by their card packages and grid flexibility, not raw power alone.
  • A focused deck draws its key cards more reliably than a bloated one.
  • Read enemy positions every turn before spending any cards.
  • Reinforce one clear battle plan instead of spreading upgrades across unrelated strategies.
  • Adapt your build to the rewards each run offers rather than forcing a single setup.

Starter Rankings

Montabi Starter Tier List

Montabi offers 22 starter choices, and their value depends on more than raw damage. The strongest beginner starters provide reliable cards, work in several grid positions, and fit multiple team compositions, while specialized starters become stronger once their required combos are assembled.

S

Best Beginner Starters

  • Strong performance from the beginning of a run
  • Useful cards without requiring several specific combo pieces
  • Flexible positioning on the 3x3 grid
  • Fits multiple three-Montabi team compositions

Best for: New players learning combat, deckbuilding, and positioning

A

Strong and Flexible

  • Reliable early-game card package
  • Good synergy with several other Montabi
  • Strong upgrade or evolution potential
  • Minor positioning or deckbuilding requirements

Best for: Players comfortable building around basic synergies

B

Build-Dependent Starters

  • Effective when supported by the correct cards or teammates
  • More dependent on positioning or specific interactions
  • Can become powerful after key upgrades
  • Less consistent during the opening encounters

Best for: Players willing to adapt their run around a specific starter

Specialist

Combo-Focused Starters

  • Designed around narrower tactical interactions
  • Requires stronger knowledge of card sequencing
  • Benefits heavily from specific team partners
  • Rewards careful use of the 3x3 grid

Best for: Experienced players experimenting with specialized team builds

Creature Collection

Montabi List and Evolution Guide

Montabi features more than 60 collectible creatures, including 22 starter choices. Every creature contributes its own cards and tactical possibilities, so building a strong collection is about finding Montabi whose abilities work together inside both your deck and your three-creature formation.

All Montabi

60+

The full creature pool contains more than 60 Montabi that contribute different cards, abilities, tactical roles, and team interactions.

Team Building

Montabi Best Teams and Deck Builds

The best Montabi builds treat the three creatures and the deck as one system. A good composition has a clear way to deal damage, enough defensive or positional control to keep the plan working, and a focused deck that repeatedly draws the cards responsible for the team's strongest interactions.

Balanced Beginner Team

Beginner

Use three Montabi with complementary offensive, defensive, and utility functions so the team can handle different encounter types without relying on one narrow combo.

Deck Priorities

  • Reliable low-condition cards
  • Basic damage
  • Defensive options
  • Positioning tools

Positioning: Maintain flexible positions instead of committing every Montabi to a single grid pattern.

Upgrade focus: Improve consistently useful cards before adding highly specialized effects.

Positioning Control Team

Intermediate

Build around Montabi and cards that benefit from controlling where creatures stand on the 3x3 battlefield.

Deck Priorities

  • Movement effects
  • Position-dependent attacks
  • Grid control
  • Formation-preserving cards

Positioning: Plan one action ahead so movement creates stronger targeting patterns for the next card.

Upgrade focus: Prioritize effects that make movement more efficient or increase the payoff from correct positioning.

Synergy Combo Team

Intermediate

Choose three Montabi whose card effects reinforce the same core mechanic, allowing repeated interactions to produce more value than individually strong cards.

Deck Priorities

  • Core synergy cards
  • Combo enablers
  • Card consistency
  • Low-value card removal

Positioning: Keep the Montabi required for the combo in positions where their key cards remain usable.

Upgrade focus: Strengthen the cards that begin or multiply the central combo.

Evolution-Focused Team

Advanced

Shape the run around Montabi whose evolution choices create stronger late-run interactions and use the remaining team slots to support that scaling plan.

Deck Priorities

  • Cards that stay useful after evolution
  • Synergy pieces for the evolved role
  • Early survival tools
  • High-impact late-run cards

Positioning: Use safer formations early, then adjust around the evolved Montabi's strongest tactical patterns.

Upgrade focus: Invest in upgrades that keep contributing after the team's key evolution choices are completed.

Deckbuilding

Montabi Cards and Deckbuilding Guide

Montabi combines creature collecting with roguelike deckbuilding, offering more than 570 cards across its roster. Because your active Montabi determine an important part of your card pool, strong runs come from choosing creatures that work together, adding cards that support a clear plan, and avoiding unnecessary cards that make key actions harder to draw.

Montabi-Linked Cards

How it works

Cards are associated with the Montabi you collect and use during a run, connecting creature choice directly to deck construction.

Tactical role

Defines the attacks, utility effects, movement options, and combinations available to the team.

Advice

Choose Montabi whose cards support the same overall battle plan instead of selecting creatures only for individual strength.

Taming and Deck Expansion

How it works

Taming a new Montabi changes the team options available and introduces additional card interactions into the run.

Tactical role

Allows the deck to gain new offensive, defensive, positioning, or support tools as the team develops.

Advice

Before taming a creature, consider whether its cards strengthen an existing strategy or force the deck in a different direction.

Three-Montabi Synergy

How it works

A full team contains three Montabi, so the deck needs to support multiple creatures without becoming unfocused.

Tactical role

Combines different creature roles into a single tactical plan for the 3x3 battlefield.

Advice

Use one clear team identity and let each Montabi contribute a complementary function such as damage, setup, movement, protection, or utility.

Deck Efficiency

How it works

Adding more cards increases the number of possible draws but can reduce how often the most important cards appear.

Tactical role

Improves consistency by keeping the deck centered on cards that directly contribute to the team's main combinations.

Advice

Avoid taking a card simply because it is available. Prioritize cards that improve an existing combo, solve a weakness, or add a needed tactical option.

Positioning Cards

How it works

Some card effects interact with movement, placement, targeting, or positions on the 3x3 grid.

Tactical role

Creates favorable attack angles, moves Montabi away from danger, or prepares positions for later effects.

Advice

Treat movement as part of the deck rather than a separate mechanic and keep enough positioning tools to recover from unfavorable formations.

Combo Cards

How it works

Cards become stronger when their effects are sequenced with compatible abilities from the same or another Montabi.

Tactical role

Creates multi-card turns that produce more value than playing each card independently.

Advice

Build around a small number of repeatable interactions so the deck can execute its strongest sequence consistently.

Run Adaptation

How it works

Roguelike encounters, rewards, new creatures, and upgrades change which cards and strategies are available during each run.

Tactical role

Lets the player adjust the deck to upcoming threats instead of following an identical build every time.

Advice

Keep the core strategy stable while using later rewards to cover weaknesses revealed by difficult battles.

Combat

Montabi Combat and Positioning Guide

Montabi battles take place on a 3x3 tactical grid and combine creature placement with card-driven actions. The strongest turns come from reading enemy positions, protecting important teammates, moving into useful spaces, and sequencing cards so that each action prepares the next one.

1

Read the 3x3 Battlefield

Start each turn by checking where every friendly and enemy creature is positioned on the grid.

Focus: Identify exposed Montabi, threatened spaces, useful attack lanes, and positions that can support your next card sequence.

2

Check Your Available Cards

Review the current hand before committing to movement or attacks.

Focus: Look for cards whose value depends on targeting, placement, movement, or another card that can be played first.

3

Protect Vulnerable Montabi

Do not leave an important team member in a dangerous position simply to gain a small amount of immediate damage.

Focus: Move threatened creatures when necessary and use the rest of the formation to reduce the enemy's best attack opportunities.

4

Create Better Positions

Use movement and positioning effects to place your team where its cards become more effective.

Focus: Think one action ahead: a repositioning card can be valuable when it prepares a stronger attack or protects the setup for the following turn.

5

Sequence Setup Before Payoff

Play cards in an order that maximizes their combined effect instead of treating each card as an isolated action.

Focus: Use setup, movement, or utility effects first when they improve the targeting or impact of the team's main offensive cards.

6

Coordinate All Three Montabi

A strong formation lets the full team contribute rather than relying on one creature to carry every turn.

Focus: Use complementary roles so one Montabi can create an opening, another can exploit it, and the third can provide damage, protection, or additional setup.

7

Prepare for the Enemy Response

After choosing an offensive line, consider what the battlefield will look like when the enemy acts.

Focus: Avoid finishing a combo with the team clustered or exposed in positions that give the opponent an easy counterattack.

8

Adapt Instead of Forcing a Combo

Roguelike battles regularly produce hands and enemy formations that prevent the ideal sequence.

Focus: Use safe positioning and flexible cards when the perfect combo is unavailable, then rebuild the formation for a stronger later turn.

Run Progression

Montabi Items, Bosses and Run Progression

A Montabi run develops through a chain of randomized encounters and upgrade decisions rather than a fixed battle sequence. Progress depends on improving the team, strengthening the deck, choosing useful rewards, and entering elite or boss encounters with a coherent strategy instead of a collection of unrelated upgrades.
