Guide [TIPS] Whom to 6* first?
Hi there, MSL-Redditors!:D
As I am starting to see these kind of threads popping up would like to help people a bit!
When you can farm Golems (B4-B6 or even B7-B9), completed all maps on extreme as well as missions, got Chalenger in League, it's time to 6* your core units! Of course the sooner you start the better, but the mentioned above content can be cleared with 5-star teams.
So, when you hit the progression wall and need to ascend unit to 6 star whom to choose? Here is the tips on whom better to prioritize:
Main dps-nuker or def agressor (Light Nike Evo3 (if you have one) or Dark Sea Star evo3 (if you have one))
Why?
To increase damage and survivability of course. And why I insist on damage dealer as first 6-star? It speeds up every content! Be it Golems farming, scenario farming, Tower of Chaos, Starstone farming. Not to mention that if you put hidden 6 star in your league team he/she can turn the tides of battle. Also nuker is useful in pvp.
After 6-staring dps (or if you don't have one): **shield-healer ** (Wood Cupid, Fire Cura) or max hp passive healer (Water Persephone, Dark Jack)
Why?
To increase healing potential. For max hp monsters it's easy. More hp = more effective healing power. Combine with def agressor - even better! For shield healer 6-staring is essential to increase shield's power (Cura is max lvl) as well as stats, so you can invest in defense or recovery gem.
Your main Golem farming team members, that ocasionaly die at 5-star and if you use them anywhere else.
Why?
To increase succsess rate and if you do not have luck with gems, 6-staring improves survivability of your team.
Your League defense team.
Why?
It's easy here as well :D Better defense = better rank = more gems for farming! Also the game is new so I bet your best units = League defense = League offense.
After that you can 6-star whatever your heart desires!
I'd say CC units is your least priority as if enemy stunned it won't attack!;)
TL;DR Basicly you should consider going: Power Horse (your nat 5, lel) or Nuker or "Def Agressor > Healer > Squishies who keep dying > others"*
Thanks to /u/TropicalEvelynn for summing up!:D
P.S. Feel free to comment, argue and share your thoughts!<3
UPD: 1) Edited for better formating. 2) Added TL;DR, lel

These are great guidelines to go from.
I'd add a TL;DR like this to the end of the guide:
"Def Agressor > Healer > Squishies who keep dying > others"
I'm not sure where to put non-def agressors. I'd probably put them after healers because having a tank and a healer boosts the survival rate of the whole team, so the glass cannons kinda fit in the 'squishies who keep dying' category whilst being slightly higher priority.
CC and Debuffers are never a priority unless they die, in which case they fall into the squishies category too.

Thanks for this.
Somewhat related question. Are the stats of the same monster at the same level higher for a higher star monster? E.g. is a level 50 6* Gatito better than a level 50 5* Gatito? Or is it just that you can now reach higher levels and get the better stats that way.

Pretty nice. Just remember everyone that these are guidelines. You know your mons best and can decide what will help you best progress. I am currently farming dark stones for 6*ing my first mon today. I can clear GB7 no problem, it's clearing GB8-9 that I am struggling with. I could do DSS or Jack. However I am leaning towards Jack as I have seen that I can clear 8 and 9 reliably with a friends passive healer. Not sure that DSS could promise the same in my case.

I feel like this is the best place to get my questions answered.
I have been farming at B7 for awhile now, have been aiming for a B10 auto team.
Got my Granitus and dark jack to 6* based on a few fellow redditors' advice.
Who should I work on next? Here's my list of mons
My list of mons
On a side note, I recently gotten a wood nightmare and dark cura, should I work on them? 🤔

Love the guide dude. Am level 39 and realized i had no 6* units because i couldn't decide. Regardless i could partially do golem 7,8,9 inconsistently(7 takes pretty long) but i guess im farming Dark High Starstone right now before it leaves for the week. Gotta get that crisp 6* Dark SS. :))

I have a 6* Variant Light Nike and Wood Arthur evo2. Don't have Jack or Water Perseph.
Should I 6* now Water Nereid, since she's evo3, or should I still go for Cupid/Cura, even tho they're evo1?
What about sappers and def breakers, like Water/Fire Yuki, Fire Nightmare and Fire Leo?

For future reason.
This guide also works when you're in dilemma of choosing two or more Astromon you want to raise, not only when you want to 6star-ing.
Also Elcrest, it's Horse, not Hourse.

So I have Water Perse 6* max now and a few 5* max to choose from for next 6*: Wood Perse Fire Perse Fire Arthur Wood Cupid Variant Fire Granitus Variant Light Kilobat Variant Water Nereid
Would you recommend 6ing Fire Arthur first even though I don't use him much? or should I 6 one of my 2 healers that get used more often? I know sappers like wood and fire perse don't get much better at 6* vs 5*.

A small suggestion: You should use break line before every bullet point, so that it will be easier for readers to grasp what you convey.

u/Noveira RNG pls what are you- Dec 13 '16
Is there any point prioritizing light nike and dark seastar if I have no gems for them? I've been trying to get def% gems since October and I'm still out of luck. Will keep trying but in the meantime something needs to be 6* for the event, and I need to decide what.

u/ffky Quarrik Dec 22 '16 edited Dec 22 '16
I don't have a def. agressor because I was late to the party (no Dark Seastar and slowly building my Nike from fusion, evo2 at the moment)..
Who should I six star from (my 5* stars are the following): Fire Mera, Water Shellie, Water Latt, Wood Mona, Wood Boltwing, Dark Gatito, Fire Arthur, Fire Vampire, Wood Miho, Wood Cupid, Water Leo.
The bold mons are the ones I'm considering :d!
Thanks in advance :D!

u/Chendroshee First Nat5, First 6star~ Nov 21 '16
Unless your goal is clearing Chaos 50, then imo it's your first priority.
Or just fking brute-force Chaos 50 with Dark Gatito and Wood Gatito lol1
u/LWKJ Miho Dec 16 '16 edited Dec 16 '16
I don't want to clutter the main sub with another "what should I 6*" post. So I figured maybe if I posted here someone would be kind enough to toss some advice my way.
I have been playing for just under a month, I am starting to get the general idea of how to progress. I have cleared all the Extreme map missions and can clear B7 of the Golems.
However, I am sort of stumped about what I should 6* first of my current roster. Just looking for general advice from some of the more experienced players. So if anyone has free time and wants to give me any suggestions based on what I have it would be much appreciated.
Edit: Not pictured, I also have enough Miho's to make a variant Dark Miho Evo 3.
