Monica is an SSR Tank support hero in Last War Survival who specializes in resource farming. Her Treasure Hunter skill increases the Coin, Food, and Iron earned from defeating specific World Map enemies, making her particularly useful during early and mid-game progression.
Monica also deals Physical Damage and provides some additional damage against monsters. However, her combat performance is lower than that of dedicated attackers and support heroes. Her main purpose is helping players collect more resources from regular zombie farming.
This Last War Survival Monica guide covers her skills, gear priority, formations, best uses, strengths, weaknesses, and whether she is worth upgrading.
Monica Overview
Monica is an SSR hero with the Tank vehicle type and Support specialty. She deals Physical Damage and should normally be positioned in the back row.
| Detail | Monica Information |
|---|---|
| Hero | Monica |
| Rarity | SSR |
| Vehicle Type | Tank |
| Specialty | Support |
| Damage Type | Physical Damage |
| Recommended Position | Back Row |
| Main Strength | Increases resources from specific World Map enemies |
| Best Stage | Early to mid-game |
| Best Content | Zombie farming and resource collection |
| Combat Priority | Low |
| Long-Term Priority | Low to moderate |
| Formation Role | Resource-farming support |
At Level 60, Monica’s listed base stats are approximately 2,900 Attack, 75,000 HP, 482 Defense, and 213 March Size. Actual values can vary based on hero level, star level, skills, gear, buildings, research, decorations, and other account bonuses.
What Role Does Monica Play?
Monica is a resource-farming support hero.
Her Treasure Hunter passive increases the resources earned after defeating certain World Map enemies. This can help players collect more materials for:
- Headquarters upgrades
- Building construction
- Technology research
- Troop training
- Hospital costs
- Hero and base progression
Monica is not intended to carry the squad’s damage. She should be paired with stronger attackers and protected by two frontline defenders.
Why Is Monica Useful for New Players?
Food, Iron, and Coins are needed throughout Last War Survival. New players can quickly run short of these resources when upgrading several buildings, training troops, and completing research at the same time.
Monica helps increase the return from stamina spent on eligible World Map enemies. This makes her useful for players who regularly farm zombies and other qualifying targets.
Her resource bonus also works without requiring premium equipment. Players can place Monica in a farming squad without giving her the best gear on the account.
Is Monica a Combat Support Hero?
Monica has combat skills, but most of her value comes from resource farming.
She can attack multiple enemies and increase damage against monsters. However, she does not provide the same combat support as heroes with strong healing, shielding, crowd control, or team-wide stat bonuses.
In difficult combat modes, replacing Monica with a dedicated attacker or support hero will usually improve the squad’s performance.
How Long Is Monica Useful?
Monica’s usefulness depends on how often the player farms eligible World Map enemies.
| Progression Stage | Monica’s General Role |
| Early game | Main resource-farming support |
| Mid-game | Farming squad member |
| Seasonal progression | Secondary zombie-farming hero |
| Late game | Specialized resource farming |
| Competitive PvP | Usually replaced |
Monica may leave the main combat formation relatively early. However, she can remain useful in a dedicated farming squad for much longer.
Monica Skills
Monica’s skills combine multi-target Physical Damage, resource bonuses, monster damage, and personal stat improvements.
| Skill | Type | General Effect |
| Dual Fire Cannon | Auto Attack | Deals Physical Damage to two random enemies |
| Treasure Hunter | Passive | Increases monster damage and resources from specific enemies |
| Weak Spot Scan | Tactics | Deals Physical Damage and increases damage against a monster target |
| Super Sensing | Expertise | Increases Monica’s HP, Attack, and Defense |
Exact values may vary depending on hero development, skill level, star level, server version, and future updates.
Dual Fire Cannon

Dual Fire Cannon is Monica’s normal attack.
At its listed base value, Monica attacks two random enemies and deals Physical Damage equal to 46.44% of her Attack. The skill has a cooldown of approximately one second.
| Upgrade Stage | Additional Damage |
| First upgrade | 20% |
| Second upgrade | 45% |
| Third upgrade | 70% |
| Fourth upgrade | 100% |
| Fifth upgrade | 150% |
The ability to hit two targets gives Monica some early value in battles containing several enemies. However, the damage multiplier is relatively low compared with the skills of dedicated SSR and UR attackers.
Dual Fire Cannon should not receive high investment priority unless Monica remains part of an active combat formation.
Treasure Hunter

Treasure Hunter is Monica’s most important skill.
At its listed base value, it increases Monica’s damage against monsters by 6.15%. It also increases the Coins, Food, and Iron gained after the squad defeats eligible World Map enemies by 30.90%.
Qualifying enemies include:
- Ironhead
- Glutton
- Miser
- Doom Elites
| Upgrade Stage | Monster Damage Increase | Resource Bonus Increase |
| Base effect | 6.15% | 30.90% |
| First upgrade | +3% | +5% |
| Second upgrade | +3% | +5% |
| Third upgrade | +3% | +5% |
| Fourth upgrade | +3% | +5% |
| Fifth upgrade | +3% | +5% |
At maximum listed improvements, Treasure Hunter can provide approximately 21.15% additional monster damage and a 55.90% resource bonus.
Values may change depending on the current game version, skill level, and balance updates.
Why Treasure Hunter Matters
Treasure Hunter increases the value gained from stamina used on eligible enemies.
For example, defeating a qualifying enemy without Monica provides the standard resource reward. Defeating the same enemy with Monica in the formation provides additional Food, Iron, and Coins.
This can improve resource farming efficiency over many repeated battles. The value becomes more noticeable when players:
- Spend large amounts of stamina
- Farm World Map enemies daily
- Need resources for major building upgrades
- Prepare for troop-training events
- Save for expensive research
- Use stamina during resource-focused activities
Monica does not reduce stamina costs. Instead, she increases the resources gained from qualifying victories.
Does Treasure Hunter Work Everywhere?
Treasure Hunter should not be treated as a universal resource bonus.
Its resource effect applies to the specified enemies and rewards connected to eligible World Map victories. It does not automatically increase resources from every part of the game.
Players should not expect it to improve:
- Passive base production
- Resource gathering tiles
- Alliance rewards
- Event reward chests
- Campaign rewards
- Arena rewards
- Resource items opened from the inventory
Check the battle preview and reward information when testing Monica against a new enemy type.
Weak Spot Scan

Weak Spot Scan is Monica’s Tactics skill.
At its listed base value, Monica attacks one random enemy and deals Physical Damage equal to 209.40% of her Attack. When used against a monster, it also causes the target to take an additional 6% damage for three seconds.
The skill has a cooldown of approximately nine seconds.
| Upgrade Stage | Additional Direct Damage |
| First upgrade | 20% |
| Second upgrade | 45% |
| Third upgrade | 70% |
| Fourth upgrade | 100% |
| Fifth upgrade | 150% |
Weak Spot Scan gives Monica some combat utility during monster battles. The increased damage effect can help the rest of the squad damage the target during its short duration.
However, the target is selected randomly. This makes the skill less reliable in battles containing several enemies.
When Is Weak Spot Scan Most Useful?
Weak Spot Scan performs best when:
- The formation is fighting a monster.
- The battle contains one important target.
- Strong attackers can benefit from the damage increase.
- Monica survives long enough to activate the skill repeatedly.
- The frontline protects the back row.
The skill is less valuable in standard PvP because its additional monster effect does not provide the same benefit against player-controlled heroes.
Super Sensing

Super Sensing is Monica’s Expertise skill. It increases her main personal stats.
| Stat | Listed Bonus |
| HP | +10% |
| Attack | +10% |
| Defense | +10% |
The Attack bonus improves Dual Fire Cannon and Weak Spot Scan. HP and Defense help Monica survive area attacks and enemies that reach the back row.
Super Sensing only improves Monica. It does not increase the stats of the entire Tank squad.
Best Monica Skill Upgrade Priority
Monica’s skill priority should focus on her unique resource bonus.
General Skill Priority
| Priority | Skill | Reason |
| 1 | Treasure Hunter | Improves resource farming and monster damage |
| 2 | Weak Spot Scan | Provides direct damage and monster vulnerability |
| 3 | Super Sensing | Improves Monica’s personal stats |
| 4 | Dual Fire Cannon | Adds damage but does not improve her main farming role |
Treasure Hunter should receive the highest priority because it is the main reason to use Monica.
Weak Spot Scan is the second priority when Monica is regularly used against zombies or other monsters. Super Sensing provides additional survivability, while Dual Fire Cannon has the lowest overall priority.
Resource-Farming Skill Priority
Players using Monica only for farming can follow this order:
- Treasure Hunter
- Weak Spot Scan
- Super Sensing
- Dual Fire Cannon
The farming squad still needs enough power to win the battle. Weak Spot Scan can help, but most damage should come from stronger heroes positioned beside Monica.
Combat Skill Priority
Players temporarily using Monica in their main combat squad can use:
- Weak Spot Scan
- Treasure Hunter
- Dual Fire Cannon
- Super Sensing
This order improves her direct contribution, but Monica remains weaker in combat than a dedicated attacker. Players should avoid heavy combat investment if she will soon leave the main formation.
How Much Should You Invest in Monica’s Skills?
| Monica’s Current Role | Recommended Investment |
| Main early-game support | Low to moderate |
| Dedicated resource farmer | Prioritize Treasure Hunter |
| Temporary combat hero | Upgrade only practical milestones |
| Secondary farming squad | Limited investment |
| No longer used for farming | Stop upgrading |
Monica does not need maximum combat skills to provide her farming bonus. Investing heavily in all four skills can delay upgrades for more important heroes.
Best Gear for Monica
Monica has low gear requirements because Treasure Hunter provides its main value without premium equipment.
| Gear Slot | Priority | Main Purpose |
| Cannon or Turret | 1 | Improves Attack and helps the squad finish enemies |
| Radar | 2 | Protects Monica from Energy and skill damage |
| Armor | 3 | Adds HP and protection |
| Data Chip | 4 | Provides additional general stats |
A dedicated resource-farming Monica only needs enough equipment to survive and help the squad win.
Early-Game Gear
Monica can use basic M3 equipment during early progression.
| Early Gear | Recommendation |
|
M3 Turret |
Equip first for additional Attack |
|
M3 Radar |
Useful for basic protection |
|
M3 Armor |
Equip when Monica needs more survivability |
|
M3 Data Chip |
Lowest priority; use a spare piece |
M3 equipment should normally remain at Level 0.
These pieces are replaced relatively quickly, and Upgrade Ore provides more value when spent on Epic or Legendary equipment for important damage dealers and frontline heroes.
Should You Upgrade Monica’s M3 Gear?
Upgrading Monica’s M3 gear is usually unnecessary.
Her main farming skill does not become stronger through gear. Equipment only improves her personal combat stats.
A better resource strategy is:
- Equip available M3 gear.
- Keep it at Level 0.
- Let stronger heroes carry the battle.
- Save Upgrade Ore for long-term heroes.
- Transfer spare Epic gear to Monica later.
Small upgrades may help if the farming squad is narrowly losing. However, improving the frontline or main attacker will normally provide a better return.
Mid-Game Gear
Monica can use spare M4-A gear when available.
| Recommended Gear | Main Benefit |
|
M4-A Destroyer Cannon |
Improves Attack and skill damage |
|
M4-A Jackal Data Chip |
Adds balanced offensive and defensive stats |
|
M4-A Seahawk Radar |
Improves protection against Energy Damage |
|
M4-A Porcupine Armor |
Adds HP, Defense, and damage reduction |
The M4-A Destroyer Cannon is Monica’s first offensive option. The M4-A Jackal Data Chip provides additional general stats.
However, Monica should not receive either item before the squad’s main attackers. Kimberly, Mason, Stetmann, and other damage heroes will normally gain more from upgraded offensive gear.
Recommended Gear Upgrade Order
- Cannon or Turret
- Radar
- Armor
- Data Chip
This order is intended for a low-investment farming build.
Players using Monica temporarily in a combat squad can place the Data Chip ahead of Radar and Armor. However, it is rarely worth building expensive gear specifically for her.
How Much Should You Invest in Monica’s Gear?
| Player Situation | Gear Recommendation |
| Early-game farmer | Basic M3 gear at Level 0 |
| Main combat squad member | Low-level offensive gear |
| Dedicated zombie-farming squad | Spare or transferred equipment |
| Monica is frequently defeated | Add Radar or Armor |
| Stronger support hero unlocked | Transfer Monica’s best gear |
| Late-game farming role | Use older gear from the main squad |
Monica’s farming effectiveness depends more on Treasure Hunter and the strength of her teammates than on her personal equipment.
Best Position and Team Formation for Monica
Monica should normally be placed in the back row.
She is not designed to absorb frontline damage. Her main objective is to remain in the formation while stronger heroes defeat the qualifying enemy.
Recommended Formation Structure
| Position | Recommended Role |
| Front Left | Defensive Tank hero |
| Front Right | Defensive Tank hero |
| Back Left | Main damage dealer |
| Back Middle | Monica |
| Back Right | Secondary attacker or support |
Monica can use any back-row position. If an enemy frequently attacks a specific back-row slot, move her to a safer position.
Best Frontline Partners for Monica
| Hero | Role with Monica |
| Murphy | Reliable UR Tank defender |
| Williams | Strong Tank frontline protection |
| Violet | Accessible PvE defender |
| Scarlett | Early SSR defensive option |
| Richard | Temporary early-game defender |
| Gump | Budget frontline alternative |
A durable frontline is important because Monica contributes less damage than a dedicated attacker. The defenders must survive while the other back-row heroes finish the enemy.
Best Back-Row Partners for Monica
| Hero | Benefit |
| Kimberly | Strong Tank damage dealer |
| Mason | Accessible PvE-focused Tank attacker |
| Stetmann | High back-row damage |
| Marshall | Tank support and squad buffs |
| Other developed attackers | Help complete farming battles quickly |
Kimberly and Mason are practical early partners because they provide enough damage to compensate for Monica’s weaker combat presence.
Early-Game Farming Formation
| Position | Hero |
| Front Row | Murphy |
| Front Row | Violet |
| Back Row | Monica |
| Back Row | Kimberly |
| Back Row | Mason |
This formation balances durability, damage, and resource farming.
Murphy and Violet protect the frontline. Kimberly and Mason deal most of the damage, while Monica increases the resources earned from eligible enemies.
Stronger Resource-Farming Formation
| Position | Hero |
| Front Row | Williams |
| Front Row | Murphy |
| Back Row | Monica |
| Back Row | Kimberly |
| Back Row | Mason |
Williams and Murphy create a stronger frontline, allowing Kimberly and Mason more time to deal damage.
This formation is useful when farming higher-level enemies that would defeat a weaker frontline.
Budget Farming Formation
| Position | Hero Type |
| Front Row | Best available defender |
| Front Row | Second defender |
| Back Row | Monica |
| Back Row | Strongest attacker |
| Back Row | Second attacker |
A full Tank formation is not required for Monica’s resource bonus.
Players with stronger Aircraft or Missile heroes can use them alongside Monica. Winning the battle consistently is more important than forcing a same-type formation.
Secondary Farming Squad
| Position | Recommended Role |
| Front Row | Two spare defenders |
| Back Row | Monica |
| Back Row | Spare attacker |
| Back Row | Spare attacker or support |
As the account develops, Monica can move into a dedicated secondary formation.
Use older gear and heroes that are no longer needed by the main squad. The farming team only needs enough power to defeat the selected target reliably.
Should Monica Be Used in a Full Tank Formation?
Monica’s Tank type can contribute toward same-type formation bonuses. However, her weaker combat kit may reduce the team’s overall performance.
Use a full Tank squad when:
- The Tank heroes are properly developed.
- The formation can defeat the target consistently.
- Monica’s resource bonus applies.
- The same-type bonus improves reliability.
Use a mixed squad when stronger heroes from other vehicle types can complete the battle more efficiently.
Best Uses for Monica
Monica performs best in World Map resource farming.
| Game Mode | Monica Performance |
| Ironhead Farming | Very good |
| Glutton Farming | Very good |
| Miser Farming | Very good |
| Doom Elites | Very good |
| General World Map Zombies | Good when Treasure Hunter applies |
| Campaign | Limited |
| Wanted Bosses | Limited |
| Arena | Low |
| Competitive PvP | Low |
| Main Late-Game Squad | Not recommended |
| Secondary Farming Squad | Very good |
Ironhead Farming
Ironhead is one of the enemies included in Treasure Hunter’s listed resource effect.
Place Monica in the squad before starting the battle. The other heroes should provide enough durability and damage to win without depending on Monica as the main attacker.
Glutton Farming
Glutton victories can provide additional resources when Monica’s passive applies.
Repeated farming can make the bonus more valuable, especially when players are spending stored stamina or completing daily zombie-related tasks.
Miser Farming
Miser is another qualifying enemy for Treasure Hunter.
Monica can help increase the return from these battles without requiring significant equipment investment.
Doom Elites
Treasure Hunter also applies to listed Doom Elite victories.
These enemies may require a stronger formation. Do not weaken the squad so much that adding Monica causes the battle to fail.
A successful battle with Monica is valuable. A failed battle produces no farming benefit.
Daily Resource Farming
Monica can be added whenever players spend stamina on eligible resource enemies.
This is particularly useful when preparing for:
- Headquarters upgrades
- Expensive research
- Troop-training events
- Building-power events
- Seasonal development
- Large healing costs
The total benefit becomes more noticeable when Monica is used consistently rather than only for a few battles.
Campaign Progression
Monica can participate in early campaign stages when the hero roster is limited.
However, Treasure Hunter normally does not provide its resource-farming value in campaign battles. A dedicated attacker or combat support hero will usually help clear difficult stages more effectively.
Replace Monica when additional combat power is needed.
Wanted Bosses
Weak Spot Scan can increase damage against a monster target, but Monica’s overall damage remains modest.
For score-based boss content, a dedicated attacker or stronger support hero will normally provide better results. Test both formations rather than assuming the farming hero is also the best boss option.
Arena and PvP
Monica has low competitive PvP value.
Treasure Hunter’s resource bonus does not help against player formations, while its monster damage effect also loses relevance. Monica must rely on her relatively weak personal attacks and basic stats.
Use a dedicated PvP attacker or support hero when available.
Secondary Farming Squads
A secondary farming squad is Monica’s best long-term role.
She can continue increasing resources without occupying a position in the main combat team. Give her spare equipment and pair her with enough damage to defeat the chosen targets efficiently.
Monica Strengths and Weaknesses
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
| Increases Food, Iron, and Coin rewards | Low overall combat damage |
| Useful throughout early and mid-game farming | Farming bonus only applies to eligible enemies |
| Requires little gear investment | Limited Arena and PvP value |
| Easy to place in a secondary squad | Does not heal or shield teammates |
| Helps improve stamina efficiency | Lacks strong general combat buffs |
| Can target two enemies with her normal attack | Eventually replaced in the main formation |
| Weak Spot Scan adds monster utility | Depends on stronger teammates to win |
| Fits naturally into early Tank teams | Premium resources provide a low combat return |
Monica’s Main Strength
Monica’s main strength is improving resource farming efficiency.
Her value does not come from producing the highest damage report. Instead, she helps players earn more Food, Iron, and Coins from stamina they were already planning to spend.
This can support faster base development over time.
Monica’s Main Weakness
Monica’s main weakness is her limited combat contribution.
Treasure Hunter is highly specialized, while her direct attacks have lower damage than those of dedicated attackers. She also lacks healing, shields, crowd control, and broad team buffs.
How Teammates Affect Monica’s Value
Monica performs best when the other four heroes can win the battle without needing a fifth high-damage character.
She becomes more useful when:
- The frontline survives comfortably.
- Two strong attackers are in the back row.
- The enemy activates Treasure Hunter.
- Monica is used repeatedly for farming.
- The squad wins without requiring premium gear on Monica.
She becomes less useful when:
- Adding her causes the squad to lose.
- The target does not provide bonus resources.
- The content rewards maximum damage.
- The battle is competitive PvP.
- Stronger combat heroes still need development.
Is Monica Worth Upgrading?
Monica is worth limited investment because her resource bonus can improve early and mid-game progression.
She is not normally worth maximum combat investment. Players should focus on Treasure Hunter while saving Skill Medals, universal shards, and Upgrade Ore for stronger long-term heroes.
Upgrade Monica When:
- You farm eligible World Map enemies regularly.
- You need more Food, Iron, or Coins.
- Treasure Hunter is still at a low level.
- Monica is part of your main early-game formation.
- You have Monica-specific shards.
- Your farming squad needs slightly more power.
- You want a dedicated secondary farming team.
Limit Monica Investment When:
- She is only used for a few battles each week.
- Your main heroes still need Skill Medals.
- You are spending universal SSR shards.
- You need more Arena or boss damage.
- Monica is no longer used for resource farming.
- Her farming squad already wins easily.
- Better long-term heroes need gear upgrades.
Recommended Investment Level
| Player Situation | Recommendation |
| New player farming resources daily | Moderate Treasure Hunter investment |
| Monica is in the main squad | Low to moderate temporary investment |
| Dedicated farming squad | Upgrade the farming skill, limit combat skills |
| PvP-focused player | Low priority |
| Mid-game player with strong heroes | Move Monica to a secondary squad |
| Late-game player | Use only when her resource bonus remains valuable |
Should You Upgrade Monica to Five Stars?
Upgrading Monica’s stars improves her skills, including the Treasure Hunter resource bonus.
Five stars may be useful when:
- You receive many Monica-specific shards.
- You farm qualifying enemies every day.
- Your main SSR priorities are already complete.
- The additional resource bonus supports your progression.
- You plan to keep her in a permanent farming squad.
Avoid using a large number of universal SSR shards solely to improve Monica. Those shards may provide more value when used on heroes with stronger combat or promotion potential.
Should You Use Skill Medals on Monica?
Skill Medals should primarily be used on Treasure Hunter.
Additional Skill Medals may be justified when Monica needs more damage to remain useful in the farming squad. However, her combat skills should not delay important upgrades for the main attackers and defenders.
When Should You Replace Monica?
Replace Monica in the main combat formation when a stronger hero provides better damage, defense, or support.
Possible replacements include:
| Replacement Type | Improvement |
| Dedicated attacker | More campaign, boss, and PvP damage |
| Combat support hero | Stronger buffs, healing, or protection |
| UR Tank hero | Better stats and long-term scaling |
| Specialized PvP hero | More value against player formations |
Replacing Monica in the main team does not mean she becomes useless. Move her to a farming squad and continue using Treasure Hunter against eligible enemies.
Best Monica Tips
- Place Monica in the back row.
- Use her against enemies that activate Treasure Hunter.
- Confirm that Monica is in the formation before starting the battle.
- Pair her with two durable frontline heroes.
- Use strong attackers to complete farming battles quickly.
- Prioritize Treasure Hunter before her combat skills.
- Equip basic gear without upgrading temporary M3 pieces.
- Give the best Cannon and Data Chip to your main attacker first.
- Use Monica-specific shards before universal SSR shards.
- Move Monica out of the main squad when combat becomes difficult.
- Keep her available for daily World Map farming.
- Use stored stamina when you have time to farm eligible targets efficiently.
- Compare rewards with and without Monica when testing a target.
- Do not use a weak farming squad against enemies it cannot defeat.
- Transfer older equipment to Monica after upgrading the main formation.
Mistakes to Avoid
Forgetting to Add Monica Before the Battle
Treasure Hunter only helps when Monica is included in the relevant squad.
Check the formation before attacking Ironhead, Glutton, Miser, or Doom Elites. Using a saved combat formation without Monica can reduce the resources earned.
Using Monica Against Every Enemy
Monica’s resource bonus is not a universal effect.
Do not assume she increases rewards from every zombie, campaign stage, event, or gathering activity. Use her against enemies that are confirmed to activate Treasure Hunter.
Placing Monica on the Front Row
Monica has the Support specialty and limited defensive value.
Front-row placement exposes her to direct attacks and can cause her to be defeated early. Use dedicated defenders in front of her.
Expecting Monica to Carry the Squad
Monica’s main role is resource farming, not damage.
Pair her with strong attackers such as Kimberly or Mason. The rest of the formation should be capable of winning the battle reliably.
Upgrading M3 Gear
M3 equipment provides temporary stats but is replaced quickly.
Equip it without spending Upgrade Ore. Save upgrades for Epic or Legendary gear used by heroes with better long-term combat value.
Giving Monica the Best Offensive Gear
A strong Cannon improves Monica’s damage, but a dedicated attacker will normally gain more from it.
Give premium offensive equipment to the main damage dealer first. Monica can use spare or transferred pieces.
Spending Universal Shards Too Early
Monica-specific shards are the safest way to develop her.
Universal SSR shards should be reserved for higher-priority heroes unless Monica’s next star upgrade provides a clearly valuable farming increase.
Using Monica in Competitive PvP
Treasure Hunter provides almost no value against player-controlled squads.
Replacing Monica with a combat-focused support or attacker will usually improve Arena and PvP performance.
Using Monica for Maximum Boss Damage
Weak Spot Scan provides some monster utility, but Monica’s overall damage is limited.
Boss formations should normally use heroes that provide stronger personal damage or larger team-wide combat bonuses.
Allowing the Farming Squad to Lose
The farming bonus has no value if the squad cannot defeat the target.
Use stronger defenders, better attackers, or a lower-level enemy. Reliable victories are more important than forcing Monica into content beyond the squad’s power.
