Monster Hunt

How It Works

• Monster Hunt spawns a boss with a large HP pool. You get a limited number of attempts per day to deal as much damage as possible.
• Total damage dealt across all your attempts is tracked. Rewards scale with your personal damage output.
• Certain skills are tagged as excluded from Monster Hunt's skill offer pool. This is an intentional balancing decision — skills that would trivialize scoring are removed from the bundle generator in this mode.

Build Priority: Sustained DPS

Monster Hunt rewards total damage dealt, not kills. This changes build priorities significantly from Labyrinth:

• Burst builds are weak here. Knife Assassin and Limit Break Burst are optimized around one-shot windows; against a boss with 100M+ HP you need sustained output, not burst.
• Ramping builds excel. Serpent Alchemist Hybrid and Bolt Storm Caster are ideal — their DPS scales with fight length, and Monster Hunt fights are long by design.
• Stack DoT damage. Poison Spread, Burn Spread, and Warlock's DoT amplification all contribute to total damage counters even when the boss isn't at low HP.
• Don't bring a tank. Use a DPS + Healer + DPS comp. The boss won't focus-fire like a Labyrinth enemy pack, so tank mitigation is mostly wasted.
