Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher - Raising methods, schedules, Drill types

There are many aspects to raising your Kaiju. Drills to raise stats, Errantry to learn to attacks, participating in tournaments for money or game progression. This page is not meant as a Walkthrough or step by step guide to beat the game, rather it breaks down several of the aspects of the game into smaller consumable bits of information that you can apply to your overall experience which will lead to beating the game. Some of the advanced raising schedules won't really be affordable on a fresh game, it's OK to use a first Kaiju or two to help stockpile your funds so you can concentrate on a very strong Kaiju later.



 

Work and Feeding Schedules for all occasions
Basic raising tips to consider while using the schedules
  1. Rampages are OK. they reset anger and build up anger tolerance. Getting a couple of rampages out of the way early, means later, when your loyalty is higher you should be able to trigger a rampage when you need to increase Max stat caps (from 10k to 12k) which will take ~3 additional rampages.
  2. Focus/Specialize in a few stats rather than try to raise things evenly. Pick 1 Attack stat (POW or INT), Pick 1 Defense stat (SPD or DEF), Fill in with SKI and LIF drills between your Attack & Defense choices.
  3. Use Inheritance Cookies!! these can drastically help keep fatigue under control, or easier to raise stats to better Drill levels.
  4. Monthly Food is important. Giant Egg > Nutrition Pellet > Ultra Meat > Fresh Fish Plate > Heaping Salad.
  5. Territory bonus is only 5 extra points to a drill. Territory battles can still be useful if you need to reduce anger, but It's not worth defending your territory just to retain a bonus, (Low class enemy fights can give less than doing a drill even without the bonus).

  • MUST use the best foods: Egg, Feasts, Pellets. Spice
  • Spices and Territory battles are the only form of Anger Management.
  • Randomness of Stress/Fatigue from drills may cause occasional spike to breech LI.
4x HD will heavily depend on a Monthly Food that reduces stress by the largest amounts. On the average Stress/Fatigue ranges, the schedule is stable, but random spikes may cause intermittent lifespan hits.

Magic Bananas: Pro Tips!

100 Loyalty Fast! or a means for alternative Feeding and Drill schedules! Follow this to ensure you get the correct Banana effect for either scenario

  1. Starting with NO Bananas in inventory, Buy many Magic Bananas in Bulk, all at once.
  2. Save before each feeding, ALWAYS feeding the top-left most Banana, and continuing Left-to-Right & Top-to-Bottom.
  3. In the purchased bunch, the top and left-most Magic Bananas will be the +10 Loyalty (-10 Stress) Magic Bananas.
    • You'll see the side status indicators display an "Fear Increased" & "Dependence Increased"
    • The bottom right-most will always be -10 Loyalty.
  4. Once they no longer give both bonus "Fear Increased" and"Dependence Increased" messages:
    • Reset, and Sell the remaining Magic Bananas.
  5. Repeat
Use to get 100 Loyalty Baby in about 3 months, or top off an adult Kaiju.

Magic Bananas have 1 of 3 effects. In earlier games the effect is random on feeding. In UKMR the effect is random on purchase. The MB is sorted by effect in your inventory, which is why this works.

Anger Meter and Rampages

Anger Meter

The anger meter does not indicate it's capacity, but each rampage effectively increases the numerical amount of anger between empty and full.
Rampage anger limit is based on life stage, aging type, personality, dependence, fear, and the number of previous rampages.
  • The anger limit is limited to 2000
  • Aging Type multipliers are
    • 0/Normal: 1.1
    • 1/Early: 1
    • 2/Late: 0.9
  • rampage_limit = (int)(rampage_anger_life_stage_base * aging_type_multiplier * personality_multiplier) + 10 * rampages + fear + dependence/2
    (dep/2 is rounded down towards 0)

Rampages & Stat Cap increases

Rampages are caused when your Anger meter reaches 100%. A Rampage will reset the Anger meter. It doesn't incur a lifespan hit outside of the weeks lived during the rampage. You can observe your Anger meter and plan out when you want to rampage to get some of the early rampages out of their system.

You can mostly predict and plan for productive rampages that increase your Kaiju's maximum stat capacity with the following conditions.

  • At about 60+ Loyalty.
  • At or after the 3rd Rampage (This means, allow for your Kaiju to rampage early a couple of times before 60+ loyalty)
  • It will usually take 3 Stat Limit Rampages to raise the caps from 10k to 12k limits.
  • Late Bloomer types can reach max cap limits without any rampages, if you raise a Late Bloomer up to the Retirement Warning from Holly with 0 rampages. This seems like a waste since there's little lifespan left to raise stats, but maybe there is a benefit we don't yet know about.

Holly & Kanezo's Messages
Holly and Kanezo give separate life stage notifications.

Holly's notifications are alerted only once, but during the normal dialogue when you enter a new week at the first point of entering the alerted Life Stage. Because the game is so dialogue heavy, this alert can easily be missed.

Kanezo's Life Stage updates are on-demand, at any point in a Kaiju's life, but you must actively ask for it from a different menu.

Holly's Notifications
Holly's Life Stage Alerts (One Time Alerts)
StageMessage
5 (Prime)[MONSTER] is really something!
How we raise this Kaiju from here on will decide victory or defeat in the fights ahead.
9 (Elder)[Monster] is looking pretty worn down.
We may have to retire it soon.
  • Upon entering stage 5:
    • Stage 5 is "Prime" which is considered the peak stat raising period.
    • If you have Gold or Silver peaches, this is the stage to use them in!
  • Upon entering stage 9:
    • Stage 9 and 10 are considered Elder/Twilight stages and will most likely see lower Drill LV gains taper off.
    • Depending on the Kaiju's Base Lifespan and their Aging Type, this could be anywhere from ~8 months, to ~2.5 years of life left when Holly gives this alert, so don't be too hasty to retire it early.
    • Drill LV3s help offset the lower gains of the aging Kaiju's Elder and Twilight stages.
Kanezo's Notifications

If you miss Holly's message, press Y to talk to the monster, and ask how it is feeling.
Kanewill give you the following messages which correlate to which Life Stage a Kaiju is in currently. Note that it can be any time during a given stage, unlike Holly's message that alerts immediately upon entering a given stage.

Lifespan Increasing or Decreasing items

The calculator will do all the work for you, but here's an example with the math explained.

Gold & Silver peaches: Use at Stage 5 to maximize Prime life stage.

  • Using peaches extends lifespan by +50 (Gold) and +25 (Silver) weeks total.
  • These weeks are spread out over the 10 life stages of a Kaiju, based on the duration they are in that stage.
  • Stages that you've progressed past are added to the current life stage
    • A Gold Peach is +50 weeks of lifespan; Let's feed this to a 380 week Normal aging type monster during stage 5.
    • Add each Stage duration, including current: 9%+10%+15%+15%+10% = 59%
    • 59% x50 = 30 (29.5). 30 weeks are added to Stage 5.
    • The remaining stages 6-10 are multiplied for each stage Duration x 50:
         5%(2.5) 2wks | 10% (5) 5wks | 5%(2.5) 3wks | 5%(2.5) 2wks | 16%(8) 8wks
      -- Alternate rounding: If there is no decimal/remainder from a proceeding % then it is rounded up, otherwise it is rounded down
    • The +50 week Gold Peach equates to 30 weeks for Stage 5, and 20 weeks distributed over 6-10 based on stage duration.
Consumables that subtract lifespan: Use at stage 1 (or ASAP) to minimize hits to Prime life stage.
  • Using items reduces lifespan by their designated amount (See Item List)
  • These weeks are spread out over the 10 life stages of a Kaiju, based on the duration they are in that stage.
  • Stages that you've progressed past are added to the current life stage
    • A Devil SPlinter is -50 weeks of lifespan; Let's feed this to a 380 week Normal aging type monster during stage 5.
    • Add each Stage duration, including current: 9%+10%+15%+15%+10% = 59%
    • 59% x50 = 30 (29.5). -30 weeks are added to Stage 5.
    • The remaining stages 6-10 are multiplied for each stage Duration x 50:
         5%(2.5) -2wks | 10% (5) -5wks | 5%(2.5) -3wks | 5%(2.5) -2wks | 16%(8) -8wks
      -- Alternate rounding: If there is no decimal/remainder from a proceeding % then it is rounded up, otherwise it is rounded down
    • The -50 week Devil Splinter equates to -30 weeks for Stage 5, and -20 distributed over 6-10 based on stage duration.

  • The -1 week items, if few enough are used, it will only affect stage 1 (or current stage used), but if enough are used in a given stage, it will creep into the other stages, just like using a single item with many weeks.

Other Drill Info

  • Drill Bug: There is a bug that can occur where no matter which drill you try, every drill gives the message: "[Monster] is tired of training here". To fix this:
    1. Exit the game completely (Shut down/close. Don't put to sleep)
    2. Open another game, then close that game completely.
    3. Re-launch Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher. The drills should no longer be bugged for all drills, though your monster may still be tired for a particular drill.
  • Territory battles on Drill locations do not decrease lifespan. They are the equivalent of doing a drill. The amount of incurred Stress/Fatigue correlates to the disparity between your Kaiju's grade VS the rival's grade. (Low gains and low stress/fatigue if you're S grade and rival is E grade etc.)

 

Errantry
Errantry is where you learn new Attacks/Techs from Rival trainers you meet and defeat as you progress through the game. See Kaiju Techs page for the complete Tech list and where, and how to qualify to learn them.

Locations & Trainers

Trainers/Rivals are unlocked through game progression and tournament encounters.

Heart Meter: Every 20 Errantries with a trainer will fill up 1 heart. Once the meter is full, you will get a passive item from that trainer that makes it easier to learn techs from them.

Errantry Locations determine which stats are raised and lowered. The trainers randomly change locations week to week, making it possible to learn specific attacks taught by specific trainers at locations that are beneficial to you.

Rearing Traits/Cookies
Various Stat raising help while doing drills. Consider "Rear" Inheritance Cookies to help more easily raise your monster. (See Items).
Inheritance Cookies are permanently equipped onto your monster.
Cookies can be removed with an Adventure-found item from a few locations: Reset Powder if you need to change them out.

Fatigue management:
Auto-management of fatigue through cookies can help you concentrate on keeping stress managed much more easily, or help you squeeze in an extra hard drill. In this regard, Prevention is better than the cure, which means the Tyrant cookie is superior.

  • Tyrant's Eternal Grudge makes Fatigue harder to increase. (Prevention is better than the cure)
  • Windom's Capsule Recall makes Fatigue easier to reduce. (For when you can't get the above)
Drill Bonuses Cookies:
Some cookies will give a +30 bonus to any drill at any level. Since Drill Levels are important for higher gains with a snowballing effect the higher the drill level is, this means you can max stats sooner and concentrate on other stats as well.
This is especially useful for Low gain stats too and triggers ANY time the stat is raised during a drill, regardless if it is the Primary or Secondary stat raised in a drill.

Managing Stress, Fatigue, AND Anger

UKMR introduces ANGER in addition to Stress and Fatigue. How are you supposed to manage all three of these things now?
  • Mandarin Juice is the equivalent of MR2's Nuts Oil, (-28 Fatigue) but ALSO reduces stress by 20%!
  • Astro Mint is the equivalent of MR2's Mint Leaf, and is -50% Stress (exactly the same)
  • Relaxing Cacao reduces Anger by 30%.
To compare to MR2's generic Nuts Oil/Mint/Nuts Oil/Mint -- The addition of Stress relief in the Mandarin Juice on a similar schecule (Juice/Mint/Juice/Mint) means you can sub out one of the mints, for an Anger management item, like Relaxing Cacao.

Basic principles:

  • Territory battles Raise stats, lower Anger, and do not incur a lifespan hit by themselves.
  • Relaxing Cacao if there are no territory battles to reduce anger.
  • Ultra Mangos slightly help with Fatigue but add weight. A good new-game item until you can afford the good stuff.
  • Mandarin Juice -5 to all stats but greatly reduces fatigue, and reduces stress by 20%.
  • Consider an Astro Mint in your schedule for 50% stress reduction. Stress is currently hidden and hard to track what it does!
  • RAMPAGE! your Max-Stats can only be increased through Rampages, and there's no lifespan hit for a rampage. Don't be afraid to just let it happen.

 

Personality

Personality Traits

  • Personality traits seem to affect AI v AI behaviour, as such will be important to acquire or avoid certain personalities for competitive play.
  • There are 3 starting baby Personalities, based on the Aging Type of the Kaiju.
  • Personality changes in Stage 3, and will randomly become one of several other personalities (This can be save scummed)
  • Holly gives a message like:
    • ... "Developing their own traits"
    • ... "Growing bigger, This one seems to have a [---] Personality"
  • Personality can be altered by reloading prior to Holly's message and reach the message again.
  • Late bloom types can change again at stage 9 if they've had 0 rampages.

Personalities only change into other personalities within their groupings.

A subjective explanation of personalities based on the data-mined info (By FakeLife)

Baby/Starting personalities

These are the three personalities all monsters start with. These are listed here for completeness sake, but keeping these on a competitive monster is basically impossible.
  • Naughty: Starting personality for Aging Type 1 (Normal) monsters. A weird personality that attacks aggressively in slot 2 and very rarely in other slots.
  • Obedient: Starting personality for Aging Type 2 (Early) monsters. Saves guts and rarely attacks.
  • Carefree: Starting personality for Aging Type 3 (Late Bloomer) monsters. A weird personality that attacks aggressively in slot 3 and very rarely in other slots.

Aging Type 1 (Normal)

One of these personalities is randomly chosen when an Aging Type 1 (Normal) monster gets to life stage 3. This replaces the Naughty personality the monster is born with.
  • Fiery: Walks forward and uses slot 1 and 2 techs a lot.
  • Honest: Good all-around personality that attacks more often when over 50 guts. Saves guts the most out of the similar Honest, Earnest, and Tenacious trio.
  • Lively: Attacks frequently and moves a lot.
  • Earnest: Good all-around personality that attacks more often when over 50 guts. Is the most aggressive over 50 guts out of the Honest, Earnest, and Tenacious trio.
  • Rowdy: Walks forward and uses slot 1 and 2 techs a lot. Attacks even more aggressively than Fiery. Rarely attacks in slots 3 or 4.
  • Tenacious: Good all-around personality that attacks more often when over 50 guts. Is the most aggressive under 50 guts out of the Honest, Earnest, and Tenacious trio.

Aging Type 2 (Early)

One of these personalities is randomly chosen when an Aging Type 2 (Early) monster gets to life stage 3. This replaces the Obedient personality the monster is born with.
  • Brave: Aggressive personality that moves forward and attacks aggressively in all slots.
  • Cool: Saves guts and rarely attacks. Probably not a good choice.
  • Hot-Cold: Weird personality that likes to back up and knockback, but attacks aggressively when it is in slots 1 and 2. Rarely attacks in slots 3 or 4.
  • Nervous: Aggressive personality that moves a lot and attacks aggressively in all slots.
  • Rivalrous: Attacks often when you have low guts and rarely when you have high guts, which is the opposite of what you want. I do not recommend this personality.
  • Stubborn: Moves forward and attacks aggressively in slot 1. Rarely attacks in any other slot.

Aging Type 3 (Late Bloomer)

One of these personalities is randomly chosen when an Aging Type 3 (Late Bloomer) monster gets to life stage 3. This replaces the Carefree personality the monster is born with.
  • Easygoing: Saves guts and rarely attacks. I do not recommend this personality.
  • Lazy: Saves guts and rarely attacks. This is probably the worst personality in the game… Even more than the other “Lazy” personalities, Lazy monsters just don’t do anything.
  • Selfish: Attacks fairly often at any guts total, and swaps techs like crazy.
  • Spoiled: Good all-around personality that attacks more often when over 50 guts. Tends to walk forward and generally prefers techs in slots 1, 2, and 3.
  • Timid: Saves guts and rarely attacks. I do not recommend this personality.
  • Whimsical: A weird personality with random numbers. Attacks more often in slot 4 when you have low guts, and in slot 1 when you have high guts. I do not recommend this personality.

Aging Type 3 (Late Bloomer) with NO RAMPAGES by Life Stage 9

One of these personalities is randomly chosen when an Aging Type 3 (Late Bloomer) monster gets to life stage 9 without having any rampages over the course of its life. This replaces the personality unlocked when the monster reached life stage 3.
  • Calm: Moves backwards a lot and attacks aggressively in slot 4.
  • Prodigy: Good all-around personality that attacks more often when over 50 guts (although it saves guts more than most personalities of this type.)
  • Slow: Saves guts and rarely attacks. I do not recommend this personality.
  • Sociable: Walks forward and uses slot 1 and 2 techs a lot, more likely to attack with over 50 guts. Rarely uses slot 3 or 4 techs.
  • Cautious: Almost never attacks with less than 50 guts. Slightly more likely to walk back and knockback.
  • Liberated: Another weird personality with pretty random numbers. Attacks more often in slots 1 and 2 when you have low guts, and in slot 3 and 4 when you have high guts. I do not recommend this personality.

Competitive Tips
Competitions and tournaments are run AI vs AI. Engineering your Kaiju for the best possible outcome under AI control is part of the meta of raising a competitive Kaiju. Losing an AI vs AI tournament does not mean your Kaiju is bad; It might still be an exceptionally raised Kaiju that had bad luck. Below are some tips on how to help optimize for AI vs AI battles.

Cookies
  • When you're done raising your Kaiji you probably should get some Reset Powder and get rid of all your Rearing cookies and replace with Battle cookies.
  • NOTE that when replacing cookies, this may adjust your Total stats, so be aware of this if you are working within a Stat Cap!
  • Self Repair and Overnight Revival are the come-back cookies of UKMR. If you decide to equip these, there is an important thing to note:
    • Self Repair: Recover Life when Life drops below 20% (once per battle)
    • Overnight Revival: Recover 1 Life when Life is reduced to zero (once per battle)
    • EQUIP ORDER is important for these two cookies. Equip Self Repair first, then equip Overnight Revival second. You want to get the heal first, then the 1hp revive second, otherwise if equipped in the reverse Self Repair will activate immediately after Overnight, using both at the same time.
  • There are plenty of other cookies to consider that may fit a particular meta better than others, or might be considered to boost other techs for tech-specific scenarios.

Raising Routes

Please be sure and check any specific tournament's rules for caveats or adjustments. These raising routes are here to help you learn how other people have made a specific builds for competitive which you can follow or make adjustments for your own build!

ZeBruh (Dada Eleking) by Frenzied Potato

This monster was raised in Ultra Kaiju MR for AI v AI
PVP ZeBruh Raising Route by Frenzied Potato
PVP ZeBruh Raising Route by Frenzied Potato
PVP ZeBruh Raising Route by Frenzied Potato
  1. Using Keywords: Main: wz~ Sub: legend at the alter, summon an Eleking Dada with gr9. The plan is to run Eleking Collider in slot 1 and Antenna Discharge in slot 2. The personality you want is Fiery since it has the highest chance of walking forward and lowest chance to shove. This will keep the Kaiju battling in slot 1 and 2.
  2. Eleking Collider is learned from Alvarro with a threshold of 7000 to learn the tech. That means Int+Defense has to be at a minimum of 7000 to learn the tech. Since the stat cap of Light Weight is strictly 15k you must plan accordingly to learn the tech and dump the defensive stat while staying under this cap! The plan for this kaiju is to hit 5k intelligence and 2k defense to learn Eleking Collider. Through drug use you will be able to dump the defensive stat for other needed stats.
  3. After summoning the Kaiju immediately equip Def+ Drill cookie. Make sure to give the kaiju 5 bouquets to to raise fame to 100. Go back and forth between Defense drill and Int Drill while eating 12 skill caps (-100 speed +100 life/skill) . This will drop speed to 1 and give you enough skill to start learning May's hit techs.
  4. Use the Errantry Wild Woods to learn all the techs you need from it. Just make sure you have the right trainer there(May then eventually Alvarro). This is done to raise POW++ and LIF+ with -SPD and -Int. Errantries in other places may increase some stats beyond the cap. Make sure you save before errantry just in case you do not learn the tech from May (Flames → Lightning Speed → Antenna Discharge is the order).
  5. Around 1 years old or Life Stage 3 the personality will change. Save frequently and reset the week before the change occurs until you get Fiery.
  6. While allowing rampages to happen, continue with INT drill x3 and DEF drill x 1 eating Mandarin juice x3 a month with astro mint x1 a month. Be sure to not exceed 2k Def and 5k Int. The reason we drink so much Mandarin Juice is to drop all the stats to give us more of a buffer at the end of this raise. It is far easier to increase stats then it is to drop stats!
  7. Continue using Wild Woods Errantry for tech acquisition. Atenna Discharge is the final tech we want from May. Eleking Collider should be learned from Alvarro once 2k Def and 5k Int is attained. Remember to reset if you do not learn the tech.
  8. Use Reset Powder to clear traits, equipping new traits: Self-Repair , Invincible Guts and Jewelic Blaze (this will add 61 SPD and 131 DEF that cannot be lowered)
  9. The remaining 1985 DEF is removed with 19 Speed Capsules (-100 DEF +100 POW/SPD) while resting each week. This transfers 1900 defense to power and speed.
  10. Now to remove remaining SPD that was raised from the SPD capsules with 19 Skill Capsules (-100 SPD +100 LIF/SKI). Feed these while alternating LIF SKI and Pow Drills using a LD, LD, LD, Rest, replacing a LD with Rest if you're getting too close to cap.
  11. Try and get LIF to a number divisible by 5. This can help during a "Grit" tie (1 LIF on both Kaiju). IE: If the life total is not divisible by 5 when you self-repair you are going to be at 19.5% instead of 20%. Many rounds are often decided upon ties.
  12. Finish topping off any remaining stats while staying under the 15k Stat Cap (Lesser of POW or INT is ignored in the particular tournament rules this Kaiju was made for)

VS Mode preparation Tips

Cookies can be difficult to acquire, and Reset Powder is only available twice a year.
follow these steps to save some hassle and reuse these items for multiple monsters:

  1. Save your game.
  2. Use your Reset Powder to clear out any Rearing traits (If you haven't already)
  3. Apply your desired Cookie/Traits.
  4. Register Your Kaiju, and select the Kaiju you've applied the cookies to.
With your Registered Kaiju copied to the Online Registry with the applied cookies, you can now reload your game to a point before using the cookies and Reset powder. This will not affect your uploaded Kaiju as it is a captured point in time when it was uploaded.

Ultra Kaiju Tier List and analysis

Nash's tech review and tier list for competitive play:

 

Money & The Traveling Merchant

Making Money

  • Making money early in the game isn't too difficult. A C class monster can easily make decent tournament money for progression.
  • There's a special "G" Tab in the inventory. Anything in this tab can safely be sold. This tab can fill up with all sorts of goodies from Adventure, Monster gifts to you, random items from Grandpa, etc. Sell it when you need money.
  • Consider stockpiling "G" tab items if you plan on raising multiple monsters back to back and don't want to money farm in between, you can just sell of these items on demand if you don't feel like farming for the cash.
  • End Game there's also multiple tournaments that give in incredible amount of money in a single tournament, between 1 and 5 million depending on the tournament.
  • THERE IS A GOLD CAP of 9,999,999 G.

The Merchant

Requirements:
  • You are on year 10 of the game or higher
  • You are Breeder Rank 4 or higher
  • You have 100,000 gold on hand

With the requirements met, there's a 5% chance every week he'll show up and offer you an unidentified object for 100k. It's always worth it to pay, and see what it is, because if it is junk you can simply exit to the Title screen and load the AUTO save, which reloads the game to before the Merchant dialogue, where you can choose NOT to buy the item instead. (The item appears to be seeded and cannot be RNG rolled).

There's a 70% chance the item will be junk, and a 30% chance it will be a notable item such as:

  • Gold Peach
  • Silver Peach
  • Ultra Statue (Sells for 500k)
