Complete Squadron guide with all configured monsters, acquisition channels, zones, slots and upgrades.

What Squadrons Are

Squadrons unlock at player level 27. The system lets you collect monster allies, keep them in a separate inventory, assign them to functional areas on your personal map, level them and use their bonuses against matching monster species.

A new recruit starts at a random level from 1 to 10 and receives three random qualities: Attack, Health and CPU. These qualities determine its rarity and the strength of its level-scaled Squadron effects. The Squadron window can sort the inventory by species, rarity or level.

How Regular Squadron Drops Work

Only explicitly recruitable Monsters can join through a normal kill. The player who secured the fight and nearby Group allies can each receive their own recruit when alive, close to the defeated monster and able to store it. Group participation slightly improves the opportunity, while Dungeons reduce normal Squadron drop chances.

A Squad Monster Weekend can temporarily make a selected monster available through its own event drop rule.

Complete Squadron Monster Catalogue

Every configured Squadron Monster is listed below exactly once. Season and Void Shop columns show currently configured sources; availability can rotate. Promotional offers occasionally appear and can propose all kinds of Squadron Monsters, so promotions are not represented as a fixed list.

Managing Your Squadron

Squadron management is performed on your personal map. You can drag recruits between the inventory and an unlocked area, use the quick action to place an inventory recruit in the first compatible free area, upgrade a recruit, sell it for Squad Candy, or buy additional slots for an area.

Each active area accepts only one copy of the same species. A full area rejects additional recruits. Monsters held in overflow cannot be assigned until normal inventory space is freed, and the Statue refuses boss recruits.

Area	What it does	Starting capacity	Expansion
Inventory	Stores unassigned recruits. Overflow keeps excess rewards visible but unavailable for movement until space is made.	35 slots	Adds 5 slots per purchase with Stars.
Experience Point Farm	Every monster placed here receives 10% of the Experience awarded to the player. A matching guild-station megabonus can increase this share.	2 slots	Up to 12 slots, unlocked one at a time with Uranium and player Experience.
Offensive Specialty	Increases damage dealt to monsters of the same species as each placed recruit.	4 slots	Up to 28 slots, added in groups of 4 with Uranium and Squad Candy.
Absorption Specialty	Reduces damage received from monsters of the same species as each placed recruit.	4 slots	Up to 28 slots, added in groups of 4 with Uranium and Squad Candy.
Loot Specialty	Increases rewards obtained from monsters of the same species as each placed recruit.	4 slots	Up to 28 slots, added in groups of 4 with Uranium and Squad Candy.
Free Zone	Stores a large active collection. A matching guild-station megabonus can let its occupants reinforce species already used in a Specialty.	20 slots	Up to 40 slots, added in groups of 4 with Uranium and Squad Candy.
Statue	Keeps one non-boss recruit as a cosmetic effigy used by supported displays.	1 slot	No upgrade.

Slot Upgrade Prices

Each zone begins with its free slots. Offensive, Absorption and Loot Specialty use the same prices, but each zone is upgraded separately.

Zone	Capacity after purchase	Slots added	Price
Inventory	40 to 1,040	+5 each purchase	Starts at 250 Stars and rises by 250 Stars per purchase; final configured purchase: 50,250 Stars.

Levels, Rarity and Selling

Monsters in the Experience Point Farm level from the player's earned Experience. The Upgrade action spends enough Squad Candy to supply the Experience needed for the recruit's next level. Higher levels improve the specialty values produced by that monster.

Selling is irreversible and returns Squad Candy based on the recruit's accumulated level and Experience. Autosell can convert a newly received recruit when it falls below both the selected rarity and level thresholds. Configured shop and bundle rewards bypass autosell.

Squad Candy

This guide only covers how Candy interacts with Squadrons: it upgrades recruits and pays part of the cost of Specialty and Free Zone slots. Sources and currency details are documented in Squad Candy.
