Where should a new Monster Survivors player start?

Start with the Beginner Guide, choose one developed hero and balanced weapon package, then use the upgrades and gear guides when permanent spending becomes relevant.

Does the wiki list exact drop rates and upgrade costs?

No fixed public table is presented as universal. Rewards, prices and menus can change, so exact decisions should use the current App preview.

Monster Survivors Wiki

Q: Which Monster Survivors game does this wiki cover?

This wiki covers the Monster Survivors App published by VOODOO under package games.rivvy.monstersurvivors. The Play Online page hosts a separate FreezeNova browser game.

Q: Where can I compare heroes and weapons?

Use the Heroes Tier List for hero investment, Best Weapons for weapon roles, and Best Builds when the hero, weapons, equipment, skills and map need to work together.

Find practical App answers for heroes, weapons, builds, gear, upgrades and Gilded Cores—without mixing in the separate browser game's mechanics.

Search the topic cards below.

Monster Survivors App hero screen with equipment and hero ability cards — App progression connects hero development, named abilities, equipment, currencies and the build used for the current stage.

How the App Systems Connect

Use this order when several menus are asking for resources at the same time.

System	Main Decision	Good Default	Common Mistake	Open
Hero	Which developed survivor supports the current job?	Keep one reliable general hero ahead.	Switching only because another hero ranks higher in isolation.	Heroes →
Weapons	Do the slots cover crowds, durable targets and a missing flex role?	Use complementary jobs instead of duplicate weaknesses.	Filling every slot with the same damage shape.	Combos →
Gear	Does the effect reinforce the same hero and weapon plan?	Enhance a proven keeper after checking the output.	Chasing score or rarity while losing a useful effect.	Gear →
Permanent upgrades	Which stat fixes the current progression wall?	Damage and Attack Speed first, then required safety or specialist value.	Keeping every stat equal or buying farming stats during a hard push.	Upgrades →
Gilded Cores	Is the result permanent, useful now and clearly shown?	Save until one durable target passes all three checks.	Spending to clear a notification or unfinished second build.	Cores →
