Becoming proficient in monster breeding is your path to constructing a legendary Monster Legends team. Let’s dive into the breeding process and unlock the secrets to creating powerful creatures.
Understanding the Monster Breeding Process
The core mechanic of breeding in Monster Legends is quite simple to grasp. To begin, navigate to the Breeding Mountain, which is typically located near the Hatchery on your island. Tap on the Breeding Mountain and then select the Breed button. This will open a breeding interface displaying two columns, each listing your available monsters. Choose one monster from each column to form your breeding pair. Once you’ve selected your monsters, press the START BREEDING button to initiate the process.
After the breeding process concludes, you’ll see a TAKE EGG option. Select this to move your newly created monster egg to the Hatchery. A countdown timer will appear at the bottom of the screen, indicating the incubation period. Both breeding and hatching require a set amount of time, which varies depending on the monster’s level and rarity. You can expedite these timers by using gold or gems, or by taking advantage of in-game promotional offers.
Once the timer reaches zero and your new monster hatches, you’ll have the choice to place it in its appropriate habitat or sell it for gold.
Breeding two single-element monsters, often referred to as common monsters, usually results in a basic hybrid, known as uncommon monsters. However, with a bit of luck, you might breed a rare monster or even an epic monster. It’s also possible to breed dual-element monsters, opening up a wider range of combinations and outcomes.
Common monsters are typically weakest when facing their own element in attack, but they offer the strongest defense against it. In contrast, the strengths and weaknesses of hybrid monsters can vary greatly depending on the specific combination of parent monsters.
While the steps to breed monsters are straightforward, knowing which monster pairs will yield your desired results is where the strategy comes in. Below, we’ll explore some of the most effective breeding combinations in Monster Legends, categorized by their base elements.
Keep in mind that Monster Legends is a constantly evolving game, and breeding mechanics may be updated. This guide is current to the best of our knowledge, but always be sure to check in-game resources and community forums for the latest information.
Fire Element Breeding Combinations

Monster Legends Wiki
The fire element is often the first element players are introduced to in Monster Legends. Fire monsters excel at attacking nature-based enemies but are vulnerable to water attacks. Here are some notable fire breeding pairs and their potential offspring:
- Firesaur + Treezard (Nature): This combination can produce Greenasaur or the epic Pandaken. Both of these monsters are immune to burning and share a weakness to water. Hatching time for both is a quick 30 seconds.
- Firesaur + Rockilla (Earth): Breeding these two may result in Firekong or the rare Freettle. Firekong is immune to stun, while Freettle has the energized trait. Both are weak to dark and water, and they hatch in five minutes or less.
- Firesaur + Thunder Eagle (Thunder): This pairing can yield Gigram or the rare Thundenix. Both are immune to blind and are weak to earth and water. Gigram hatches in 5.5 hours, while Thundenix hatches in 4 hours.
- Firesaur + Mersnake (Water): You might get Sealion or the rare Vapwhirl from this combination. Both are immune to burning and weak to thunder. Sealion takes 6 hours to hatch, and Vapwhirl takes 5 hours.
- Firesaur + Tyrannoking (Dark): This pair can create Flickie or the rare Firetaur. Both are immune to blind and weak to water and light. Firetaur hatches in 12 hours, and Flickie in 9 hours.
- Firesaur + Genie (Magic): The result could be Pyrook or the rare Djinn. These powerful monsters are immune to blind but are extra sensitive to nature and water. Pyrook hatches in 13 hours, while Djinn takes 17 hours.
- Firesaur + Metalsaur (Metal): This pairing produces Esmelter or the rare Fornax. Both are immune to burning and take just over a day to hatch. Their weaknesses are magic and water.
It’s important to note that a Firesaur cannot breed with a light-based monster, as they are considered opposite elements in Monster Legends.
Nature Element Breeding Combinations

Monster Legends Wiki
Nature monsters in Monster Legends have an advantage against magic element monsters but are vulnerable to fire attacks. Here are some key nature breeding pairs:
- Treezard + Firesaur (Fire): Similar to the reverse pairing, this combination yields Greenasaur or the epic Pandaken. Both have the immune to burning trait and water weakness, hatching in 30 seconds.
- Treezard + Rockilla (Earth): You might breed Rarawr or the rare Tarzape. Rarawr has the attuned trait and is weak to fire and dark. Tarzape has the hardened trait with similar weaknesses. Hatching times are 10 minutes and 6 minutes, respectively.
- Treezard + Mersnake (Water): The offspring could be Sheluke or the rare Bumblesnout. Sheluke is weak to fire and thunder and has the hardened trait, hatching in 6 hours. Bumblesnout has similar attributes with a 5-hour hatch time.
- Treezard + Tyrannoking (Dark): This pairing can result in Utochomp or the rare Dendrosaur. Both have the energized trait and weaknesses to fire and light. Hatching times are 9 and 12 hours, respectively.
- Treezard + Genie (Magic): Breeding these may produce Bloomskips or the epic Pandalf. Both are immune to blind but weak to fire. Pandalf takes 35 hours to hatch, while Bloomskips hatch in 13 hours.
- Treezard + Light Spirit (Light): You might get Vixsun or the rare Rudicius. Both are immune to poison and weak to fire and magic. Vixsun hatches in 16 hours, and Rudicius in 21 hours.
- Treezard + Metalsaur (Metal): This combination can produce Jonskeer or the rare Crux. Both are immune to poison with a 22-hour breeding window and 26-hour hatch time. Their weaknesses are magic and fire.
A Treezard cannot be bred with a thunder-based monster due to their opposing elemental nature.
