###♫ BLΔCK's blurb ♫

These guides are written by players for players. Authors write and maintain these resources for free, so definitely send a quick message if a guide helped you out, appreciation encourages further improvement.

If a guide is not available, try checking out [**game8**](https://game8.jp/archives/24106) for sample parties, or check out some of the guides on [**@PF**](http://puzzleanddragonsforum.com/forums/team-guides.17/).

If a guide exists but is outdated or contains errors, message the author, then myself if you do not receive a response.

###Universal Monster Rating System

* **A** - These subs are staples on the team. Usually have perfectly synergizing actives, great awakenings and good stats. If you have one of these, put them in your team immediately.
* **B** - These subs are some of the better subs available. With good actives and awakenings, these should be a regular on the team.
* **C** - These subs are pretty good, with great stats and usable awakenings/actives, but can be replaced by a superior option in the above categories.
* **D** - These subs aren’t optimal, but can be used if there’s a shortage of options in your box. Usually these are mid-game subs and fall off in the endgame.
* ★ - These subs are not optimal in all situations, but you could try these in an experimental build for specific dungeons. Always added to a letter grade.
