These monsters greatly surpassed every other with their skills, stats and what not (their designs were lacking though. However, a new wave of Legendary types of monsters arrived (not VIPs) which were locked behind a paywall: Nemesis, Forsakens and others.

This sort of essay will essentially touch all aspects which are weak (in my opinion) about Monster Legends and why, as a result, ended up on me quitting despite how much nostalgia I have for the game.
