Covert, impulse, psycho downs

Why are these particular skills so valued?
Wouldnt decrease enemy attack and enemy defense be worth more?

Because at high rank they are AWESOME ... and they stack with the decrease def and attack skills you'll more then likely already have. If you pick and choose opponents that means you could possibly be facing a team with 50% (ish) lower stats

So, if I have a team of all covert monsters and one has a covert down ability, does that ability also affect my team or just affects the team I am fighting?

Just the team you're fighting, not your own. The description of the skill reads "decrease enemy [impulse|covert|psycho] monsters' atk and def x%"

What is your logic? Would you rather use two monsters to affect two stats, or use one?

Thanks Armitaage . . . the description at the bottom of the creature description I have reads "Covert type monster attack and defense power decreased by 5%." That is what lead me to think there might be a small chance that it affected all covert monsters in play. I feel better now! Thanks again for the clarification!!

That also answered the question I've had about that, thanks!

What i don't understand is why many monsters have the down associated with their guild. For example Clarissa has psycho down. Well as a tyranny player I won't be facing many psycho monsters...

they are also more valued as they are harder to get. I believe you still can't get them from B summon but they might have change that recently. You couldn't before so they are among the rarer skills. The other reason as most have stated is for the stacking effect. Having -45% attack is devastating when combine with high defense. When a over 10k attack monster deals less than 1k damage its

As for having our own guild own maybe Ateam is moving towards a free for all where you can attack anyone except your allies. It would makes sense as they free up ally for cross guild and possibly remove the war bonus all together.

From what I understand, having impulse monster with impulse down is intended to help against players that use a party from a guild not their own. I could be wrong of course, lol

Well most maxed teams are going to be able to beat a team not utilizing the guild bonus. Just seems like a waste
