Noob Trying to Learn

I started playing Saturday morning and am really enjoying this a lot.

I just need to know some insites as to what some of the goals are.

Current Level 24, 181 Engergy, 83 BP
ID: 2305882963
Tyranny

My current formations
A+ - Lord of Massacre lvl 9
A - Pure Dark Embodiment lvl 9
A - Lord of Gluttony lvl 8
A - Lord of Void lvl 8
A - Elf Commander lvl 10
atk 8787
def 7696
hp 9961
bp 51

I have been sacificing anything under A

Other Cards
A - Naga lvl 1
A - Child of Purification lvl 3
A - Gigas lvl 3

Any suggestions would be helpful and appreciated.

1) there's a small bonus for using 5 of the raid lords.. you have 4 right now.

2) there's a bonus for having all the same rarity, so at the moment, an A massacre would probably give you better results than an A+

3) there's a bonus for having all the same level.

4) leveling up an A-rank monster is a waste. People (who aren't noobs) don't use A's.. they evolve them into A+ monsters and THEN level them.

5) None of those cards have any real value to other people, so don't worry about that.

6) Sell your skill B cards, don't sac them. You can sell them at either 2 or 3 per ep, generally, for the atk and def and agi ones.

7) EP are currency. Don't use them.. save them up.

With a few EP, you can get some pretty good monsters right now.. lots of stuff (A+ stuff) can be bought for a single EP.

9) Combos are important. 5 of the same color, or species, or both. There's a small penalty for using monsters that aren't the same color as your guild.

Thanks for the info. I see I have some work to do and and will get my formation set up differently.

so in 2 weeks here is the changes.

Current Fomation:
Dawn Lilin+ Lv 32 Decrease Enemy Defense (2)
Child of Purification+ Lv 32 Slumbering Breath (1)
Slaughter Bee Queen+ Lv 32 Preemptive Strike (2)
Gigas+ Lv 32 Increase Party Attack (2)
White Winged Elite+ Lv 32 Agility Up (2)

Elf Commander+ Lv 32 Decrease Enemy Attack (1)

With Following Combos:
Psycho Combo
Rarity Combo
Level Combo

The only Question I have now is how to increase the Abilities.

Sac one with the same skill to your corresponding monster.
Do 1 at a time. Yeah it's costly. I usually sac them at the beginning levels so it's cheaper.

Does it have to be same monster?

Just same skill name

ok Thanks for the help.
