Monster Allies are your third and most customizable party member. There are hundreds of monsters to capture, each with unique roles, stats, and Feral Link abilities. The key to effective monster usage lies in the 'Monster Infusion' system. You can infuse one monster into another to transfer passive abilities and stat bonuses, creating truly unique and powerful allies. For example, you might infuse a monster with 'Auto-Bravery' into your primary Commando monster to give it a permanent damage boost. When choosing monsters, consider their innate role (COM, RAV, SEN, MED, SYN, SAB) and how they complement Noel and Serah. A good strategy is to have at least one strong monster for each primary role. For example, a powerful Commando monster like a Lightning-elemental monster for damage, a robust Sentinel monster like a Pulsework Knight for defense, and a reliable Medic monster like a Cait Sith for healing. Prioritize monsters with useful Feral Link abilities that can turn the tide of battle. Experiment with different infusions to create the ultimate monster team.
