To optimize Codex progression in Guild of Monster Girls, promote duplicate 1-star, 2-star, and 3-star monsters to their first milestone promotion before using them as sacrifice fodder. Unlocking entries in the Codex awards permanent, account-wide increases to core stats—Health (HP), Attack (ATK), and Defense (DEF)—that boost every unit on your roster. Sacrificing low-rarity duplicates immediately for fast experience forfeits cheap, passive team stat gains.
The Low-Rarity Upgrade Loop
Low-rarity units require minimal gold and base materials to reach their initial promotion milestones. Because early star promotions trigger Codex entries rapidly, cycling through your duplicate summons creates a steady stream of account-wide stats without diverting high-tier resources away from your main squad.
Follow this routine when managing a full monster inventory:
- Check uncompleted Codex badges: Review 1-star and 2-star units in your inventory to identify any unearned star milestones before selecting units for sacrifice.
- Promote to the milestone threshold: Spend duplicate copies and basic gold to promote the unit to its target rank, registering the milestone.
- Claim the Codex rewards: Open the Codex interface to claim any registered stat boosts, gems, or milestone perks.
- Convert the promoted unit to fodder: Use the newly promoted unit as material for higher-rarity hero ascensions, retaining its full value as promotion fodder.
Codex Priority by Unit Rarity
Allocating resources based on rarity ensures that account-wide progression does not bottleneck the evolution of primary carries.
| Rarity Bracket | Codex Priority | Resource Investment | Account Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-Star & 2-Star | Immediate | Duplicate copies and basic gold | Fast account-wide HP and DEF boosts before conversion to fodder. |
| 3-Star | High | Common fodder and basic essences | Reliable ATK bonuses; safe to sacrifice after initial promotion. |
| 4-Star | Moderate | Standard promotion materials | Balanced passive stat gains; hold until core team promotions are secure. |
| 5-Star | Long-Term | Premium materials and rare duplicates | Unlocks naturally alongside main squad campaign investment. |
Roster Synergy and Team Builds
Codex stat stacking provides a baseline defense layer that supports specialized squad compositions:
- Extra Action Teams: Extra Action teams rely on multi-turn cycling and chained triggers, but dedicated utility units often have lower base survivability. Flat HP and DEF gains from the Codex help prevent fragile support units from falling to area-of-effect damage before cycling bonus turns.
- Luck Farming Builds: Equipping Luck gear sets trades defensive stats for increased item drop rates. Account-wide Codex bonuses help offset the survivability lost from farming gear, allowing teams to clear stages without swapping back to full combat armor.
Common Resource Mistakes
- Pushing fodder past initial milestones: Low-rarity units should only be promoted to their first accessible Codex threshold. Pushing them higher consumes scarce evolution stones and high-tier essences that must remain reserved for primary carries.
- Skipping manual reward claims: Promoting a monster registers the achievement, but passive account perks, gems, or stat tokens tied to milestones require manual collection in the Codex menu.
- Promoting without checking rewards: Always verify inside the Codex interface whether a specific promotion rank awards a global account bonus before committing gold and duplicates.
