I decided to write a little bit more detail about every earning strategy in my prior post and thought the best first strategy to focus on was renting. The first guide to renting had to be about the most obviusly viable strategy out there: water magic with Venari Wavesmith and Djinn Oshannus.
At the time of this post, the combo of the Wavesmith and Oshannus rents for <20 DEC/day and will win you at least 50% of your battles when paired with the other magic monsters and Alric. The armor from Wavesmith and the Magic block from Oshannus makes Oshannus a great front of second line monster and will wreck nearly anything. The one potential counter is the Wizard of Eastwood paired withe Unicorn Mustang and other sniper or sneak monsters. With a crustacean king, you can tank the Mustang. Throw in some back line cannon fodder and the sneak is countered too.
High mana battles: Go all out magic damage, lead the lineup with Oshannus and arrange the remaining monsters in descending order of hp and things will work out just well.
Low mana battles: Djinn + Oshanus + Alric should be able to handle anything.
My brothers, dis is de wei.
