Monsters are either obtained from Quests or from the Hatcher ( ガチャ, Gacha) by spending Orbs ( オーブ, Ōbu). After a certain number of turns have passed for any monster they are able to activate their Strike Shot ( ストライクショット, Sutoraiku Shotto), their special move that initiates a zoom in, a voice line, and additional effects as the monster travels across the board. When hitting ally monsters on the field, it activates their Bump Combo(s) ( 友情コンボ, Yūjō Konbo), which can have multiple effects such as inflicting damage with homing missiles or laser beams or increasing the active monster's speed. Some monsters also possess Gauge Shots ( ゲージショット, Gēji Shotto) that if successfully activated increase their ATK and SPD as well as activate Gauge Abilities. Monsters possess Abilities ( アビリティ, Abiriti) that are passive abilities that determine how the monster reacts to various stage hazards or other monsters on the board such as having an immunity to enemy Gravity shields or Warps or are a "Slayer" of a certain enemy Class ( 種族, Shuzoku), generally the design motif of the monster. The main statistics in MS are HP, Attack (ATK), and Speed (SPD), the last of which determines how far the monster will travel across the board there is also a Luck ( 運 ( ラック ), Rakku) mechanic that improves the rates of enemy monsters being obtained from Quests. Each monster also has an Element ( 属性, Zokusei): Fire, Water, Wood, Light, and Dark. Player monsters come in two types that reflect how they interact with enemy monsters: Bounce ( 反射, Hansha) and Pierce ( 貫通, Kantsū). Players then slingshot their own monsters into them to inflict damage. In the quests are enemy monsters scattered across the field.
