Monster Rancher 4 Combining

 

Monster Affinity & Combining
Monster affinity is really important for combining. The higher your monster affinity, the higher results your combined monsters stats will be:
Percent of Baseline (Not parent stat totals)
Monster AffinityLOWMIDHIGH
Friend100%100%100%
Good Friend110%120%130%
Great Friend110%120%130%
Best Friend120%130%140%
Inseparable130%140%150%

Example: From the monsters you are combining, each of their respective stats are added together to determine which two stats are high, mid, and low. Let's assume we have a purebred Golem and Pixie we're combining
GolemPixieStatTotalMultiplier
POW900300= 1200MID
LIF600450= 1050LOW
INT300900= 1200MID
ACC450600= 1050LOW
DEF900450= 1350HIGH
SPD450900= 1350HIGH

The combined monster would then have it's base stats multiplied based on the monster affinity of two monsters. Let's take a look at Golem and Janne:
*Note: Monster combing can be either original breed or a new combination of the two main breeds. From below, I can get Golem, Janne, or Pink Golem. However, I cannot get BattleRocks (Golem x Durahan).

This table is for original base stats if they were combined as friends.

Inheriting Monster Temperament
Monsters with different sub-breeds actually uses temperaments from the sub-breed instead of the main-breed when generated from the book or a disk. There is an exception for the Dragon and Joker breeds where it will always use its main-breed temperament.

Monsters can also pass their temperament down to their child! This is determined by selecting a parent monster with the desired temperament first. In addition, this makes it possible for monsters to use temperaments that cannot be acquired. Now your Lazy Baku can become Passionate to attack more often! Unfortunately the Dragon, Joker, and Phoenix breeds can only use its main-breed temperament. In the case of Combining a Dragon and Joker to make Diaboros(Dragon x Joker), the temperament WILL be determined by which monster is selected first.

 

Monster Group Compatibility
To determine how well each monster would get along with each other take a look at the chart below. The closer the monster is to each other, the easier it is to raise friendship. But the further away, the harder it is to raise friendship.
Some monsters have exceptions where they just don't get along much at all despite placement with one another:
  • Suzurin & Gitan
  • Durahan & Zan
  • Golem & Joker
  • Dragon & (literally) everyone
Monster Group Compatibility

Group 4Ogyo, Golem, Lesione
Group 3Garu, Suzurin, Mocchi
Group 2Antlan, Durahan, Beaklon
Group 1Ducken, Pancho, Tiger, Zuum

Group -1Rhinoroller, Pixie, Plant, Madillo
Group -2Jell, Suezo, Mogi, Ripper
Group -3Zan, Mew
Group -4Gitan, Naga
Group -5Dragon, Joker

Combining monsters can also determine new monster's starting rank. This is extremely helpful so the monster can fight less often and train as long as possible for higher stats!
