[Max Luck] Part #1 - Max Luck 101

Well I think it is time to talk about max lucking, a very important and crucial function within Monster Strike. I'm going to divide it multiple parts, talking about the importance and merits of max lucking and write about which monsters are really worth to max luck.

Now I will skip talking about max lucking impossible monsters since that is only for a small percentage of players. I will talk about which max luck will work well in those dungeons but I won't be recommending players to max luck an impossible monster for an extreme monster.
This first part is mainly about talking about HOW to max luck a monster than to what to max luck.

What Is Max Luck?
A max luck monster is a 6* monster that have 99 copies fused into it. However, there are some 6* monsters that CANNOT be max luck, like Morling X, Maxpies, and etc.

How To Max Luck?
Max lucking is done by fusing copies of one monster to itself. Most max lucks are from extreme monsters since it is hard and costly to get a hatcher max luck monster. Also, you can fuse a X version to a normal monster to raise luck as well.
Merits Of Max Luck?
Max luck monsters have a 100% chance of dropping TWO reward chests. Therefore, you can farm for turtles, catalysts, or even boss drops more efficiently.
Also, if you have a max luck monster, chances of a items appearing throughout the dungeon increases. However, it has not been known by how much they are increased.

Demerits of Max Luck?
Max lucking does take time. It may also take orbs to continue or to restore stamina. The first max luck is always the longest one to make. Finally, a max luck monster may not have the carry potential to beat dungeons.

The Costs to Max Luck?
Technically, it doesn't cost any orbs to max luck a monster. You can take it slow and just do as many runs as your stamina can take. However, it is not the most efficient way since extreme dungeons don't come up on a daily or even weekly basis. 

Like I said above, your first one will probably cost you the most time and orbs. From personal experience, my first max luck took me at least 10 hours of game time and around 30-40 orbs for stamina regen (I ran the full time on sessions). I didn't use it for continues since I ran with 0 other max lucks.

Once you get a max luck, it will take around 6-8 hours of game time (depending on the length of the dungeon) and about 40-50 orbs for regen and continues for the next one. Orb costs does go up but game time needed will decrease. Whether it is worth the extra 10-ish orbs for less farming time, it is your opinion. I do recommend to continue if you have at least 2 max lucks. If you have any less than that, it may not be worth the orbs to continue. Now if you co-op, the costs will decrease but time may or may not increase.

Next part will be talking about easy max luck monsters for your first!
