All 72 Enemies and Their Stats in Monster Train 2

Monster Train 2 is a deckbuilding game where you defend your Pyre from waves of enemies that come at you across the floors of your train. Enemies are the foes you fight in every run, and each one has a role, such as a heavy front-line tank, a fast attacker, or a healer, along with abilities that go off at certain moments. If an enemy gets past your units, it can strike your Pyre, so knowing what each one does matters. You'll face them in standard runs across Rings 1 through 9 and in the Soul Savior mode.

How Enemy Waves Work in Monster Train 2

In standard runs, each Ring is a stage, and enemies arrive in waves as you move through Rings 1 through 9. A wave is a formation, a group that mixes tough front-line enemies with weaker ones behind them. Formations change from one run to the next, so an enemy that can show up in a Ring won't necessarily appear in every run.

Ring 1 gives a clear picture of this. One formation is built around Fallen Champion and Ominous Acolyte, while another floods your floors with Forsaken. The first gives you a sturdy front line with healing behind it, and the second throws a crowd of fragile enemies at you, so each calls for a different plan.

Optional trials add another layer. A trial can bring in extra enemies or change how the ones already there behave. Penitent Prayerstone and Purified Soul are trial spawns, and Misshapen Fiend can join a Ring 5 wave only when a trial adds it.

Monster Train 2 Enemy Types and Their Roles

Every enemy has a type that hints at its job in a wave. Heavy enemies carry a lot of health and hold the front, while Shieldguards lean on thick armor to soak up hits. Attackers hit hard, though many are fragile, and Hordes are weak on their own but come in numbers.

Support types work differently. Clerics heal enemy units after a fight, and Enchanters boost their side with effects like Haste or Titanskin. A few Enchanters do the opposite and give your units Silence, while Mages slip cards into the top of your draw pile so you draw them sooner.

Special enemies don't fit one mold, and Collector is a good example. The type tells you the job, but the abilities tell you what the enemy will actually do in your fight, so it's worth reading both.

How Enemy Abilities Trigger in Monster Train 2

Enemy abilities go off at set moments, so timing matters as much as stats. Recover effects heal enemy units after a fight, and Incant effects fire when you cast a spell on the enemy's floor. Others react to what happens around them: Revenge responds when the enemy is attacked, Strike goes off when it strikes, Shift triggers when it changes floors, and Vanguard boosts it once it reaches the front.

Some abilities depend on kills and deaths, and those are easy to overlook. Slay gives an enemy a boost after it kills one of your units, Harvest adds power whenever something dies on its floor, and Extinguish fires when the enemy itself dies. Misshapen Fiend shows how that works: it applies Corruption to your front unit when it dies, so finishing it off still has a cost.

How Covenant Changes Enemy Strength

Covenant levels raise the difficulty of standard runs, and enemies get tougher as those levels climb. Many standard enemies have stats that rise at higher levels, so the same enemy can have far more health at a higher one. Fallen Champion is a clear case, with its health climbing as covenant goes up. Some enemies don't change at all, so the increase isn't universal.

At Covenant 10, Chosen versions of familiar enemies start showing up, beginning in Ring 3 and continuing through Ring 9. They're generally tougher than the standard enemies they're based on, with more health, more armor, or stronger abilities. If you're playing at that level, it's worth reading what a Chosen form can do before you reach its Ring.

The Monster Train 2 Enemies That Matter Most

A few enemies shape a run more than the rest. Fallen Champion is an early Heavy with plenty of health, and it can hold the front while the enemies behind it press on. Avowed Gladiator takes on that role in the late Rings, with very high health that keeps your units busy at the front.

Sharp-Eye Sniper is worth watching because it gains Rage after each kill, so one good trade can snowball into a streak. Celestial Bastion is a Shieldguard with huge armor and Titanskin 10, which makes it slow to get through in the later Rings.

How to Handle Enemy Waves

One of the easiest ways to lose ground is leaving enemies in the back untouched, because damage slips through to your Pyre. Steel Pulley Claw, a Railforged room card, can grab any unit or enemy and move it to its floor. That lets you pull backline enemies forward and finish them off.

Think about your draw pile too. Lurking Miscreant's interference cards hit harder when you have fewer draws, so be careful with trials that cut your draw count. Early swarms like the Forsaken are especially hard for clans without damage spells, so plan how you'll clear the weak enemies before the wave reaches your floors. Enemies that can't move, like Penitent Prayerstone, stay where they are, which makes them easier to plan around.

Collector Gold in Monster Train 2

Collector is the enemy to know if you want gold. It carries gold, and you collect it when the Collector dies, with the payout growing in later Rings. Its health is tiny in the early Rings, so the real challenge is its habit of running off.

That habit is the catch. On Resolve, a Collector flees from battle unless it has been Rooted or Dazed, so you need to finish it off quickly or set up one of those effects before it escapes. Skull Collector replaces the regular Collector when the Skull Collectors Mutator is on. It stays in the fight rather than running, its health is much higher, and it still pays out gold when it dies.

Soul Savior Enemies in Monster Train 2

Soul Savior is a separate mode from the Destiny of the Railforged DLC, and its enemies are enhanced and use new effects. They have their own stats, so the numbers from standard runs don't carry over. Many carry a Mother's name, and their stats come in three tiers called Bloom, Tangle, and Overgrowth, with Bloom as the base.

Their tricks are built to shake up old habits. Zephyrite gains Burst when it shifts floors, and after it kills one of your units it descends and gains more Armor, so a kill makes it harder to deal with. Longlash uses Sniper, which targets only your rearmost unit, so a fragile unit parked in the back can get singled out. Jeermask applies Dazed to whatever attacks it, so going after it has a cost.

Each region brings its own mix. Maera's Region features Ossivane Sentinel and Zephyrite, Thaddeus's Region has Glutmass and Mother's Zealot, Tivi's Region brings Mother's Blade and Longlash, and Lylith's Region features Plaguehost and Witchwarden. Collector also turns up in the mode, so the gold enemy is still in play here.

FAQ

Which Monster Train 2 enemies heal other enemies?

Clerics do the healing. Ominous Acolyte restores 15 health to enemy units after combat, Disciple of Ruin restores 25, and Chosen Acolyte restores 20. Enthralled Ardent restores 40 and grants Attack when you cast a spell on its floor, while Chosen Ardent restores 50 and grants Attack on every floor.

Do any Monster Train 2 enemies come back after dying?

Yes. Undying Wretch has Reanimate 1, so it can return after it's killed. Deformed Duo has Reanimate 2 and also applies Corruption 6 when it strikes, so it's a double threat.

Which Monster Train 2 enemies put cards in your draw pile?

Mages do this. Lurking Miscreant adds Chime of Despair to the top of your draw pile, Profane Supplicant adds Discordant Toll, and Discordant Heretic adds Resonant Ruin. Chosen Supplicant goes further, placing Discordant Toll on top and also in a random spot in your draw pile.

Which enemy can hit the Pyre straight from its floor?

Terrifying Amalgam, a Heavy found in Rings 7 and 8, deals 5 damage to the Pyre on Resolve if its own floor has no units. Keeping at least one unit on that floor stops the damage.
