BRIGANDINE ABYSS Monsters Guide
Build up to five monsters under each leader's command cost, balance roles, and choose carefully between fielding a monster or converting it into support.
Answer first
Quick Answer
A troop can include up to five monsters as long as their total fits the leader's command cost. Balance damage, recovery, range, movement, and attributes; use the Support & Deploy system only when the leader's gained support effect is worth removing that monster from the active formation.

How Do Monster Troops Work?
Each leader can command up to five monsters within a command-cost limit. Monsters bring different movement, attributes, attacks, recovery, and support skills. The new Support & Deploy system can remove one monster from active formation to grant its support trait to the leader.
Key Takeaways
- Five monsters is a slot maximum, not always the optimal count.
- Command cost determines legal composition.
- Balance damage, recovery, range, and movement.
- Compare a support trait with the lost field unit.
Building a Troop
Start with the leader's job and terrain. Add a monster that covers the leader's weakest range, then recovery or support, then damage and attribute coverage. Keep enough mobility to maintain formation on the actual map.
Before using Support & Deploy, ask whether the leader bonus changes the battle more than another body, action, and target on the field. The answer varies by objective and enemy composition.
FAQ
Can every troop field five monsters?
Only if the total remains within the leader's command cost.
Can monsters class change?
Yes, after meeting the relevant live requirements.
Is a rare monster automatically best?
No. Cost, role, attributes, and formation value determine usefulness.
Requirements
- A contracted leader
- Monsters within the leader's command cost
Steps
- 1
Cover troop roles
Combine damage, range, recovery, movement, and useful attributes.
- 2
Stay within command cost

- 3
Compare support versus field presence
Use Support & Deploy only when its leader bonus beats the removed monster's active value.
Common Mistakes
- Filling all five slots without a balanced role plan.
- Sacrificing an essential field monster for a marginal support effect.
