Unlocking the Secrets: How to Breed the Rarest Monsters in My Singing Monsters

Breeding the rarest monsters in My Singing Monsters (MSM) isn’t a straightforward process – it’s a fascinating blend of strategy, timing, and a little bit of luck. There isn’t one single “rarest” monster, as rarity often depends on availability and specific events. However, the principle of breeding them remains consistent: You breed a monster with a specific limited-time availability during an event or special promotion, using the specific breeding combination. This often involves combining monsters that share elements with the desired rare monster, and utilizing Wishing Torches to increase your odds. Patience and strategic breeding during the right events are key to growing your collection of rare and coveted monsters.

Understanding Monster Rarity

Before we dive into the specifics, it’s crucial to understand the different levels of rarity in MSM. The game features:

• Common Monsters: These are readily available and easily bred.

• Rare Monsters: Harder to breed, often only available during specific events. Requires specific breeding combinations using monsters who share the required rare monster’s element.

• Epic Monsters: Even rarer than Rare Monsters, each with a unique breeding combination per island and only available during specific timeframes.

• Legendary & Seasonal Monsters: These have unique breeding combinations and are available on and off throughout the year.

• Ethereal Monsters: These Monsters can only be bred on their respective islands with monsters with the correct element.

• Supernatural Monsters: Include Wubbox, Wublins, Celestials. They can’t be bred and require special processes.

Breeding Strategies for Rare Monsters

Here’s a breakdown of the strategies you’ll need to employ to maximize your chances of breeding those elusive rare monsters:

Timing is Everything

Rare and Epic monsters are usually only available to breed during special events or sales. Pay close attention to the game’s announcements and social media channels to know when these events are active. Breeding attempts made outside these windows will result in failure, producing a more common monster.

Understanding Element Combinations

Rare monsters often require specific breeding combinations. A common strategy involves breeding two triple-element monsters that share the element of the single-element monster you desire. For example, to attempt to breed a Rare Tweedle, you can breed Congle and Spunge. Refer to the wiki or a reliable breeding guide, the MSM fandom for accurate combinations, as these can sometimes be unpredictable.

The Power of Wishing Torches

Wishing Torches significantly increase your chances of breeding rare monsters. You can have up to ten Wishing Torches on each island. Lighting them costs Diamonds, which can be earned in-game or purchased. Friends can also light your torches, so building a strong friend list is beneficial. Remember, lit torches do not guarantee a rare monster, but they greatly improve your odds.

Breeding Structures and Upgrades

Upgrading your Breeding Structure can reduce breeding times. While this doesn’t directly increase your chances of getting a rare monster, it allows you to attempt more breeding cycles within the limited timeframe of the event.

The “Common + Rare” Method

Once you’ve successfully bred a Rare monster, a 100% success rate breeding method becomes available: breeding it with its common counterpart. So a common monster and a rare monster of that same type will produce only that common monster, making it easy to mass breed a monster. For example, once you breed a Rare Noggin, using it to breed with a regular Noggin will produce a Noggin 100% of the time, which you may use for zapping eggs, increasing happiness, or food.

Other Considerations

• Patience: Breeding rare monsters requires patience. You might not succeed on your first few attempts, so don’t get discouraged. Keep trying until the event ends!
• Diamond Management: Diamonds are a valuable resource in MSM. Use them wisely, prioritizing Wishing Torches and Breeding Structure upgrades when attempting to breed rare monsters.
• Community Resources: Join MSM communities online (forums, Discord servers, etc.) to share tips, strategies, and learn about upcoming events.
• Egg Storage: Make sure you have enough room in your Nursery. If you have a full Nursery, you won’t be able to start a breeding attempt.

Special Monster Breeding – Wubbox, Celestials and Wublins

These monsters cannot be bred. Wubbox need to be purchased on the island for a sum of coins and then populated with the other monsters. Wublins and Celestials require monster eggs to be zapped into them, which triggers the awakening of these monsters.
