Monster Match iPhone/iPad Cheats and Tips

Health

It is important that you enhance/evolve each of your monsters whenever possible as the more health each has the more overall health they will have when fighting their way through a dungeon.

Starting Monsters

Don't get attached to the monsters you are given during the tutorial as you will find others as you progress through the game that are much more effective.

Elements

Each monster belongs to one of five elements and each is weak to another. Take advantage of this by paying attention to the elements and exploit the monsters weakness.

Gems

Always try to match up gems that will do a specific kind of damage, it is also important though that you don't neglect the other elements.

Special Skills

When you see a monster's portrait bouncing up and down it is to indicate that their special skill is ready. Use their special skills when you are in a tough situation, they will not cost you a turn.

Small Clusters

It is sometimes more effective to connect smaller clusters of gems than trying to connect the most gems you can link up. Smaller clusters can lead to huge attacks epecially for example when they include special gems that can explode.

Combos

If you want to cause real damage then look to create massive cascading combos.

Special Gems

Take advantage of the fact that the special gems are created at the end of each 4+ gem link, knowing this allows you some control over where they will end up and gives you an opportunity to set up some devestating combos.
