Monster Island: Empires and Puzzles Guide

Monster Island is a fresh and fun take on an Alliance-based Empires and Puzzles Event, distinct enough for me to go all out on a new monster post to cover it all.

The Monster Island Event is due to make its first appearance on Tuesday, 29th of November 2022 at 7 am, and will last until Friday, 2nd of December 2022 at 7 am (UTC time).

In this post, I’ll be outlining the Monster Island Event itself; sharing what we know thus far, while also cataloguing its illustrious list of associated Heroes.

But first, if you would be so kind, please take a moment to help me by sharing a link to this post, it really does help. Thank you!

UPDATE: The Monster Island Event will be initially released as a “Live Beta” and will only be rolled out to Alliances with an Alliance Score of 120,000 or more.

Monster Island Event Guide | Empires and Puzzles

Empires and Puzzles’ Monster Island is an Alliance-based cooperative event where all Alliance members work together to explore the Island, defeat enemies, discover chests, and ultimately earn lots of points for the best end-of-event loot rewards.

It’s a whole new game within Empires and Puzzles, making for a dynamic shift away from the normal type of team gameplay we’ve previously been accustomed to.

To get the best from this Monster Island Event, you really need to be part of an active Alliance, because it will take some communication and cooperation to achieve the best results.

The goal of the Monster Island Event is to earn points for your Alliance by exploring the island, defeating enemies and opening Chests.

Alliances are assigned to a Difficulty Level based on their Alliance’s Titan rarity (Easy, Medium and Hard). Each Difficulty has a different leaderboard and the value of rewards will increase along with the difficulty.

The real challenge is keeping enough Heroes alive for the duration of the Event!

These monsters cause Permanent Damage (reduced max health) that persists between Battles; so once your Heroes’ sparkly pixels die out, they’re gone forever…

…Nope, sorry. Overly dramatic; it’s just for the rest of the Event.

Even Mother North will have a hard time sustaining them with her Special Porridge, as revived Heroes get penalised with a further 50% reduced max health, for trying to play smart alec.

Monster Island Empires & Puzzles Gameplay Screen

When the Event begins, you’ll find the Monster Island icon on the left of the Event Quests screen, where you’d usually find the Tower Quest or Mythic Titan icons.

As you enter the Event, you’ll find a brand-new screen layout.

Along the top, you’ll see your Event Energy Flags, number of Keys, number of Chests, and the total Alliance Score.

Down the left-hand side, you’ll see a settings cog icon, map icon, relics icon, and magnify glass examine mode icon.

• Settings Cog: Here you can toggle the Chatbox on and off, read the Event info, check the Leaderboards and Rewards, see your Alliance Info (Event History and Top Player Info), and inspect your Event Hero Roster.
• Map: Here you can view the overall map with grid markers. Use this to help you navigate the map when your Alliance members discover new Monsters or Chests. Click to toggle it on and off.
• Relics: As an Alliance, you will unlock Relics throughout the Event which will apply to all Alliance members’ Heroes. You can see the active Relics here.
• Examine Mode: When you enter Examine Mode, you’ll be able to move around to examine the map without accidentally spending Energy Flags!

You’ll see your profile as a marker on a map made up of hexagon cells, along with markers for all of your Alliance buddies.

The sector of the map you’re currently in will show in the top right corner.

Below that, you’ll see your Alliance’s Log, a text box (like the war hits info box) that will populate with recent information on what has been found/revealed by all Alliance members.

This will include coordinates (sectors) of where enemies are residing, or where treasure has been found.

Use the Map or Examine Mode to help you find the coordinates, and see what’s been found earlier by viewing the full Log in Alliance Info via the Settings Cog.

Monster Island Event Map (Empires and Puzzles)

The whole map is divided into sectors, marked from A to I from left to right and 1 to 9 from top to bottom. The map consists of a large landmass surrounded by water with pools and lakes within it.

The map is made up of hexagon cells which can be one of the following:

• Campsite: You can change your Hero Teams or Battle Items when you are on one of these cells.
• Land: (Forest or Desert) A plain land cell with nothing to action while on the cell.
• Sea: (Water) This marks the boundary of the current landmass. You can’t move onto or across a Sea cell without a connecting Land or Reef cell.
• Reef: (Water with stones) These connect landmasses. You can move onto and across these cells.
• Chests: These indicate found Treasure or Relics. They will need to be opened with Chest Keys (more info on this later).
• Enemy Horde: One of the types of enemies for this Event. You can attack the Enemy Horde and defeating the horde has a chance of dropping a Chest Key. Once defeated a countdown timer will appear in its place until the Enemy Horde revives.
• Apex Monster: The other type of enemy for this Event. You can attack the Apex Monster and defeating the monster will always drop a Chest Key.
• Crossed/Blocked: Cells around a Monster Horde and Apex Monster cell are blocked until the enemy is defeated.

The majority of the map will be darkened and will need to be explored as an Alliance to open up.

You will begin on a Campsite cell within the Campsite Area of the map. You can only edit your Hero Teams and Battle Items while on a Campsite cell. Items used in Battles are refilled when you return to a Campsite cell.

Monster Island Energy Flags (E&P)

Moving and attacking enemies require Event-specific Monster Island Energy Flags. You will start with 500 Monster Island Energy Flags, and these will be replenished at intervals throughout the Event. You can store up to 1000 Flags, unused Flags above this amount will be lost.

Monster Island Energy Flags Consumption:

Action	Flags Used
Moving through each discovered cell	1
Moving through each undiscovered cell	25
Taking your 1st attack on an enemy	10
Taking your 2nd attack on the same enemy	25
Taking your 3rd attack on the same enemy	40
Taking your 4th attack on the same enemy	55
Taking additional attacks on the same enemy	+15

Moving around the map: Moving 1 step on a previously discovered cell consumes 1 Monster Island Energy Flag. Discovering an unexplored cell consumes 25 Flags.

Attacking Enemies: It takes at least 4 “attacks” (4 Raid Battles) to defeat a Monster Horde as there are 4 groups that will need defeating. An Apex Monster is like a Titan with a high HP requiring multiple hits to defeat.

Your first attack on a Monster Horde or Apex Monster will consume 10 Monster Island Energy Flags. Subsequent attacks you make on the same enemy will consume an additional 15 Flags, ie. 25 Flags for your second attack, 40 Flags for your third, 55 Flags for your fourth, etc.

The additional Flag consumption only applies to players attacking the same target. It will only consume 10 Monster Island Energy Flags for another Alliance member to take the second hit on that enemy.

Monster Island Enemies (Empires and Puzzles)

Monster Hordes:

Monster Hordes consist of 80 monsters randomly featuring all Element colours. You can face up to 20 monsters per attack, so the Monster Horde will last for at least 4 attacks, longer if you or another Alliance member fail to defeat all 20 monsters on their attack.

When the Battle starts, you will only see 3 monsters. More will appear as you take each turn, with a maximum total of 8 monsters at any one time.

As you defeat monsters more will appear until all 20 monsters are shown.

The Monster Horde Battle has a 10-minute countdown timer, shown at the top left of the Battle screen. You will need to try to defeat all 20 monsters within this time limit.

You’ll be able to see the remaining monster count at the top of the screen. If you fail to kill all 20 monsters, the number of monsters you’ve killed will still count; it will just take more attacks (and flags) to defeat the Monster Horde.

Each defeated monster is worth 489 points for your Alliance. Defeating all 20 monsters will earn you 9780 points.

Once a Monster Horde is defeated, after all 80 monsters have been killed, a countdown timer will show in its place showing when it will respawn.

Defeating a Monster Horde has a chance of earning your Alliance a Chest Key.

Apex Monsters:

Apex Monsters are like Titan Battles. You are attacking a single monster with a high HP level and the Battle lasts for 1 minute 30 seconds.

There are various Apex Monsters with different Elements and Special Skills.

You will be able to see the Apex Monster’s Element colour before entering the Battle, so you can go back to the Campsite Area and change-up your attack team accordingly.

You will earn 25% of your damage dealt as points for the Alliance. For example, if you deal a total of damage of 50,000, you will earn 12,500 points to add to the Alliance’s score.

It’s worth noting, defeating an Apex Monster will always result in a dropped Chest Key.

Here’s a table of the Apex Monsters you may encounter:

Apex Monster Name	Element	Special Skill
Carapace Kaiju	Holy	Blade Tail Swipe: 1. Deals 100% damage to all enemies. 2. All enemies get -20% attack for 4 turns. 3. The caster gets +40% Defense against Special Skills for 4 turns.
Bat Dragon	Dark	Dragon Claws: 1. Deals 100% damage to all enemies. 2. All enemies get -26% accuracy for 4 turns. 3. The caster resists new negative Mana effects for 4 turns.
Brimstone Brut	Fire	Rockfall Bash: 1. Deals 100% damage to all enemies. 2. All enemies get -20% Defense for 4 turns. 3. The caster is immune to new Status Ailments for 4 turns.
Megalocroco	Nature	Monstrous Bite: 1. Deals 100% damage to all enemies. 2. All enemies get -10% Mana generation for 4 turns. 3. The caster gets +19% Mana generation for 4 turns.
Behemoth Frog	Ice	Venom Slash: 1. Deals 100% Damage to all enemies. 2. All enemies receive 584 Poison Damage over 4 turns. 3. The caster gets +26% Defense for 4 turns.

Monster Island Event: Receiving Damage

Any damage received by your Heroes during the Event will persist between attacks (Battles).

And 20% of the damage received will be applied as Permanent Damage, reducing your Hero’s max health which can’t be healed back during the Event.

Overhealers can help protect your Heroes from receiving Permanent Damage, but they can not revert any Permanent Damage already applied.

Using Minions can also help protect your Heroes from receiving Permanent Damage, but Minion owners receive +100% more damage, so you’ll need a strong continuous wall of them to be effective (this applies to any Hero with a Minion, not just Minion Summoners).

If your Hero dies during a Battle, they will remain dead for the duration of the Event, unless you revive them.

But, if you do revive a Hero, their remaining max HP will be reduced by 50%!

You can swap out your dead or wounded Heroes by visiting the Campsite Area at any point between Battles, but it will cost Monster Island Energy Flags to travel.

Treasure Chests, Relic Chests, and Chest Keys (Monster Island)

There are Treasure Chests and Relic Chests randomly scattered around the map.

As an Alliance, you’ll need to discover them and pick up Chest Keys to open them.

Treasure Chests contain loot which will be randomly distributed among all the Alliance members at the end of the Event.

The Treasure Chest loot includes things like Three Kingdom Coins, Tower Coins, Legends Coins, Emblems, 3* Ascension material, 1-4* Crafting and Battle items.

Relic Chests contain Relics that will Buff all Alliance members’ Heroes, from the point of opening the Relic Chest, for the remaining duration of the Event.

These relics work like the Relics we’ve seen in Season 5, Dune of Dynasty, or like the Blessings we see in Tower Events.

Relics include Buffs like + Attack, + Defense, + Critical Chance, + Mana generation, + healing from Special Skills, + power to Special Skills, Attack Stack, Counterattack, Minions, and Dodge among others.

There isn’t a limit to the number of Relics that can be found and used, and if your Alliance finds the same Relic more than once the power will increase. -Although, Minion Relics can only be collected once.

You can check on the active Relics by clicking on the Relics icon on the side menu.

Chest Keys are collected from defeating enemies. Defeating Monster Hordes results in a chance of dropped Chest Keys, while Apex Monsters will always drop a Chest Key when defeated.

Keys found are shared among the Alliance and the number of keys available can be seen along the top of the map screen.

The same Chest Keys are used to open either a Treasure Chest or a Relic Chest and each key can only be used once.

Anyone can use the keys to open chests but it would be wise to communicate with your Alliance members before popping them open.

Monster Island Scoring, Strategy, and Tips

You can earn points for your Alliance in 3 ways:

• Discovering new map cells
• Attacking Monster Hordes
• Attacking Apex Monsters

Each undiscovered cell you travel to or through adds 750 points to the Alliance’s Score.

Completing a full attack of defeating 20 Monsters of a Monster Horde earns 9780 points, or 489 points per Monster you manage to kill.

You earn 25% of the total damage dealt to an Apex Monster. To earn the equivalent amount of points as a full Monster Horde attack (9780 points), you will need to deal a total of 39,120 damage to the Apex Monster.

If you have lower-level players in your Alliance, they might consider whether they can cause that level of damage to a Titan. -It may be worth considering the best use of Flags.

For example, it may be worth allocating them to scouting duties, and reserving Energy Flags for higher hitters to do the bulk of the attacking. However, it needs discussion and agreement.

Ultimately, communicating with your Alliance will help you achieve a better score.

Every time an Alliance member discovers a Monster Horde, Apex Monster, or Chest, it’s logged at the top right of the map screen with their map coordinates.

Use this to help you find Monsters to attack, or Chests to open once you get hold of some Chest Keys.

Only recent activities will be shown in the box, but you can find the full log in the Setting Cog by clicking on Alliance Info.

It may be advantageous to prioritise opening Relic Chests, over Treasure Chests, to help you all survive longer and explore the map further. But that’s really a matter for you and your Alliance.

Finally, it’s worth noting that it takes fewer Monster Island Energy Flags to travel along already-discovered map cells than to travel the darkened undiscovered zones.

Raid Battle Overhealer Tip (Boosted Health on Monster Island)

As mentioned in the Monster Island Event: Receiving Damage section above. Overhealing (Boosted Healing) can be really helpful in this Event, assuming you have an Overhealer to hand.

In short, take Mana Potions with you and at the start of Battle, Overheal your team. This will provide a buffer against damage, and can result in leaving a Horde Battle without any permanent damage inflicted on your Heroes:

Monster Island Event Hero Bonuses

There are 3 Hunter Families and they will receive a Bonus during the Monster Island Event.

The Monster Hunters Family, now renamed to the Plains Hunter Family (that we’ve already seen in the Covenant Portal), the Abyss Hunter Family, and the new Jungle Hunter Family.

All Heroes from all three of these Families will receive the following perks when played in the Monster Island Event:

• +20% Attack, +20% Defense, +20% Health
• 50% less permanent damage taken
• Stack (Max 10): When this character casts their Special Skill, all enemies get -3% Defense

Monster Island Summoning Portal

There hasn’t been a Summoning Portal directly linked to this Event so far.

We have seen the Plains Hunter Family, aka Monster Hunter Family, in previous Covenant Summoning Portals.

The subsequent Abyss Hunter and Jungle Hunter Heroes have also been released at the Covenant Portal which appears in-game separate from the Monster Island Event.

I hope to update this section once more information is released.
