249 gems for rank 1
699 gems for rank 2
899 gems for the 3rd option
I have 600 gems.

I am pretty new to the game. Right now I have only Yaga Baba as legendary. rests are E, R, UC, C monsters

or should i get Ouros or Uriel for 460 gems!

@thewire When I first started playing I would have said yes, because he was the bane of my existence, but there are better deniers than him in the game. I would go for hackster or violet or even Cavenfish if you are thinking just a denier.

@Kaiju Thanks. I just realized Ouros or Uriel on sale as well for 460 gems. If I get Uriel as suppor and Ouros as tank? (later for one) or wait for a better
deal ..

also they have violet (like you mentioned and Galante package for 399 gems

@thewire Ouros is good on defense with at least two life runes. Violet and Galante are good for the breeding events as they are jokers. I also like Violet since she is pretty good denier.

I'd really recommend you stick to level 100 monsters for longer because once you get into ranking up you'll run into a whole lot of trouble you are absolutely not ready for based on the monsters you currently have.

OUros has been made obsolete when Brontes came out in the earth element, he can still be used in Underworld but shouldn't be your first choice and he's rather hard to rank up.

Uriel is completely irrelevant especially since Samael came out. Bad moves, bad stats, his unique skill (resurrection) which made him valuable is now a feature on what happens to be the best monster in the game. They're in the same books too, so really don't buy uriel.

Metalhead is a good monster, for those who started ranking him up a year ago back when he was breedable several times in a row and speeeding up 48h cost 8 gems. As a new player you have better options.

Also you should never buy gem monsters for more than 250 gems, wait for them to be on sale.

@tintum thanks for the advice!

Also worth mentioning that dungeons scale with your highest monsters' level so you shouldn't consider ranking any up beyond 100 (like in the metalhead offer) until you get a decent amount of well equipped legendaries (lvl 4 speed and attack runes) or you'll just make the game unnecessarily more difficult for yourself.

@Wololo said in Metalhead is on sale now..worth getting?:

Exactly. Even later in the game, I would not push any one legendary more 10 levels above your favorites. This way you will have a pool of monsters to use and still be able to autoplay dungeons.
