Follow the hints, tips and cheats in this strategy guide and you’ll find yourself getting even better at Dragon Quest Tact.

A Strong Start

Dragon Quest Tact may look fun or cool with cute and awesome monsters for players to tame, but make no mistake, this game can definitely be difficult at times. This is especially true if players have a rough start. After the mandatory tutorial, it is possible to get three thousand gems for free. These are meant to be used for players to build their first team or party of monsters. Complete about five to six stages after the tutorial in Chapter 2, Stage 1 and these gems will be unlocked.

Once players have their bags full of money, the next step is to use these crucial gems to scout for useful companions to aid them in their quest. There are many powerful monsters available in the scout tab; however, players will want to try to get their hands on either the Killing Machine or Wight King. Better yet, try to get both of them since rerolling is allowed when scouting. Both the Killing Machine and the Wight King are the only two top tier "S-Ranked" monsters that players can get with this method. Rerolling over and over may take a while, and getting either of them is pure chance, but they are definitely worth the effort.

Missions And Events

Missions and Events in Dragon Quest Tact can yield great rewards for players. Especially the Daily Events, which are located in the "Adventure" tab. These Daily Events reward players with scout vouchers, which can be used to collect even more monsters to aid them in battle. Missions can also grant players more scout tickets. The Beginner Missions provides players with free S-Rank Scout Vouchers once it is completed.

Be sure to constantly check both missions and events in order to gain more opportunities to befriend more allies. The more monsters players have battling for them, the easier and more versatile their combat strategies can be. These missions and events are not the hardest to complete, although trying to complete them all can feel like a tedious grind. All players really have to do is progress through the game's multiple stages and chapters to receive their rewards, but they have to manually go back to the Missions or Adventure tabs to accept their gifts.

Auto Battling And Fast Speed

Once a player's team has been established, their party of powerful monsters are now combat-ready. Dragon Quest Tact has an Auto Battling function and a Fast Speed option that helps players save a bit of time. There are all sorts of battles and enemies in Adventure Mode that players will have to partake in. Using the Auto Battle and Fast Speed functions by default, the player's party will fight and do all the work without the player needing to lift a finger. This is very useful for grinding out experience points to level up monsters during battles.

However, though these functions are beneficial, they are not always the best decision. Some battles have epic loot in the form of treasure chests, and it's worth battling manually to secure the chests without the battle ending too quickly.

Skip Tickets

Adventure Quests will sometimes yield items known as "Skip Tickets." They can also be found at the Swap Shop for purchase. These allow players to grind some experience points for their monsters but only after clearing all three of each battle's stage missions. Essentially, they allow players to complete another attempt on an already completed mission quickly. With the right amount of stamina, an easy level up for a weak party of monsters is possible, as is collecting more items via spending multiple skip tickets.

But that's not all they're good for. It is also possible to farm monster duplicates, which are necessary for a monster's "awakening." Awakened monsters are basically better versions of the monster that will do much better in combat. By using skip tickets on the adventure quests that award players with a monster upon completion, players can end up with the monster they originally got when they first completed the quest. Hence, a monster duplication farm can be exploited so long as Skip Tickets and Stamina are available.

Leader Perks

When designing a monster party, it is important to keep in mind the multiple perks each monster provides to that party. Most importantly, the leading monster in the number one slot. It is crucial to make sure that the monster has an active leader perk, which will boost the party's chances of being victorious in battle.

Once a monster's leadership perk is active, synergize the rest of the party with monsters that would benefit from that perk. Maybe the perk increases certain monster stats or lowers magic usage. In which case, fill the party with monsters that would take advantage of that perk.

Use a Strong Party to Secure Victory

After you’ve put together a band of trusty monster companions, you’ll have to participate in all sorts of tactical battles in Adventure mode. Now it’s worth letting your party work for you by using the Auto battle and fast speed options by default. But whenever you come upon an adventure battle that has a treasure chest present, it’s worth doing everything manually at first so you can recover that precious item through your own efforts. Once you’ve done that, revert back to the auto-battle and fast speed options to let your party secure the victory.

Relying on the same party of monsters you started out with is the best way to go during the main adventure’s story missions – the gradual increase in that mode’s difficulty shouldn’t present too much of an overwhelming challenge since your main party will regularly level up over time. As you amass a collection of even more monsters, be sure to add them to your other party lineups so you can use them for other adventure-themed battles and Training Quests.

Use Your Skip Tickets to Farm Monster XP

Getting your hands on Skip Tickets can be accomplished by completing various Adventure quests and purchasing them from the Handy Items section within the Swap Shop. You’re going to need to put them to good use as they come in handy for farming XP for all your parties of monsters. Of course, you’ll need to clear all three of each battle’s stage missions to open them up for your skip ticket usage. If you have the stamina to do so, put one of your weaker parties into place and use up all of your skip tickets to earn all the XP and items you desire.

Keep in mind that using your skip tickets on the types of completed missions that award you with a new monster on your first completion may just give you another copy of that monster. So keep that in mind whenever you’re looking to acquire the monster duplicates you need to awaken the monsters that are already in your possession.

Complete Your Non-Story, Limited Chance Adventure Quests

As you make your way through adventure mode’s story battles, you’ll gradually unlock new types of training quests and the special Battle Road quests. Every time you log-in to Dragon Quest Tact for a daily playthrough, you’ll want to complete your training quests before anything else.

Since you have limited chances to get through those types of quests, it’s always worth finishing them ASAP so you can farm the essential items that come from them as a reward. You’ll want to continually strengthen your main party of monsters for these mission types since the recommended CP level for training quests jumps to difficult levels really fast.

Focus on Fulfilling Objectives That Gift You With Gems

One of the most essential types of currency you’ll want to accrue is gems. Gems can be used to acquire all sorts of handy items from the Swap Shop. But you should really save them when it comes time to perform an x10 scout. Going that route when it comes to earning new monsters and duplicates for your awakening needs is always a route worth embarking on.

Now there’s a ton of ways you can get your hands on gems. The main method towards earning them is simply by fulfilling all of the stage missions tied to an adventure mode battle. Completing an assortment of daily, weekly, and feats missions also nets you a good amount of gems. You can get your hands on even more gems just by earning them as daily log-in and game release celebration gifts. Gems can be purchased from the Handy Items section within the Swap Shop, but you should refrain from doing so. Just save your gems for your monster scouting efforts instead.

Every  Parties Should Have a Leader With an Active Perk

When it comes time to assemble a party of monsters, there’s one objective you need to keep in mind at all times – make sure the monster that’s in the number one spot has an active leader perk in tow. If they have a perk that increases a certain stat or lowers the cost of magic usage, then the rest of the party should be filled with a nice variety of monster types.

But if the leader perk you have activated works best for a certain monster class, try to fill the rest of that party with the types of monsters that stick to that specific monster family. Having a party full of beasts while its leader has a perk that raises all beasts’ physical potency is a good example of that type of party composition. Parties that are filled with a full lineup of a certain monster family are even better if you’ve attained Master Rank level boosts for them. Going the recommended route for each monster party’s equipment setup is always the way to go, by the way.

Leveling up is the best way to get tougher monsters

 

There are several ways to strengthen your team of monsters with Dragon Quest Tact, but the way to give you the best value is simply to level them up. Statistically, this will give you the best attribute boost when you play, so that’s what you should focus on.

Look at things like battle roads to increase monster XP. You can get a lot of XP scrolls, so try to use them as much as possible. Keep in mind that there are many ways to get more Monster XP. That way, you’ll quickly get the toughest monster you can.

Support character required

 

Not only do you want to create a team that does physical damage, but you also need a support character. These can heal your teammates, strengthen your team’s strength, and weaken your enemies.

Team composition is the key to success in Dragon Quest Tact, so look for support characters that can add layers to your play. These characters can be obtained from the lower layers as long as you know how to use them properly.

Save player’s XP scroll

 

Raising a player’s rank is clearly a good idea, but with the option you don’t have to level up right away. Instead, it’s a good idea to wait until you run out of stamina. why? This is because the player who leveled up replenishes his stamina.

Stamina also doesn’t stack, so you can’t exceed the limit. So it’s a bit wasteful to upgrade when you don’t need stamina. If you think carefully about how to do everything with Dragon Quest Tact, it will work.

Think about leader benefits

The team leader must have a leader perk to help the rest of the monsters. This can mean packing a team full of monsters of the same type to get the most out of the leader’s perks. It can also mean choosing the right leader to reflect the style of your team.

Leader perks can be very useful in tougher battles, so wasting them or not assigning perks to leaders is a really bad idea. Experiment with the skills your leader has to see which combination gives the best results.
