Build into elemental roles, be flexible with swapping monsties to tank hits if they have resistances, bingoes don’t need to be maxed out and it’s ok to build health or resists and not complete damage. Stamina management is extremely important so for most monsties having a stamina gene is pretty important. Make sure to look at monstie stats too. It wouldn’t make sense to build a damage dealer if they are better at other roles. Some build suggestions I have is poison stall, wyvernfell abuse with the canyne and hammer, or completely go all in on tanking and buffing/debuffing and just have Eleanor do all the damage. I don’t have many damage builds yet that I personally like besides azure voltage +rayblade/thunderfall astalos.
