Understanding the monster tiers in this tier list
Monsters in Final Fantasy Tactics generally evolve through three distinct tiers, marked by palette changes and name changes. Advancement to higher tiers is mainly achieved by breeding or encountering higher level monsters later in the game. From this tier list we have Focusing on the strongest monsters of each monster series – for example, Red chocobos over yellow or black varieties.

Our rankings are primarily based on: Monsters' unique powers and abilities when used as direct combat units.
during Beastmaster Abilities provide significant power boosts by unlocking secret skills for monsters, so we're deeming this advantage less important. This is because relying on a dedicated Beastmaster unit to always be adjacent to a monster is often too limiting in difficult encounters. their basic skills It should be strong enough to justify its slot.

behemoth of darkness |
behemoth |
Its unmatched HP and high PA/MA growth rates make it a fearsome physical and magic tank. The Beastmaster gives you access to Almagest, a powerful AoE ability, and is one of the few monsters that actually implements it. value As a result, we bring the Beastmaster unit. |

that ultimate condition trigger. With good placement, Bad Breath can single-handedly incapacitate an entire enemy party, making it a powerful utility unit. |
|
epidemic fear |
floating snow |
Fantastic utilities including state movement. Flight behavior is a big plus. Plague Horror's Beastmaster skill, Beam, can be useful even in very tough battles, depending on the situation. |
The layout of the Great Marlborough is almost entirely: bad breathThe ability to apply multiple debilitating status effects over a wide area of effect. This makes it an instant win condition against large groups, but makes it difficult against some of the biggest boss fights in the game. that Red Dragon is a solid physical combatant with good movement and reliable AoE attacks. This makes it a great front line, only slightly outpaced by the superior speed and magic of S-tier dragons.
B tier

|---|---|---|

skull fiend |
skeleton |
moderate physical strength And the ability to become undead and self-heal. |

Mind Flayer |
calamari |

|
exploder |
bomb |
High MA and powerful movement flame It heals units (and any allies that absorb fire!) while also damaging enemies in the area, but has low movement speed and limited reliance on its own damage. |
The Cockatrice is a fun monster to use thanks to its beak attack, which has poor vertical tolerance but can end a fight for a single enemy unit. The Exploder has a very interesting skillset with Spark, an egocentric AoE attack that deals fire damage and heals the user. It deals decent damage and is self-reliant, but its movement stats are very low, making it difficult to position.
C-tier
|
monster |
family |
explanation |
|---|---|---|
|
wild boar |
pig |
Low movement and jumping are severely hindered. It's almost mandatory poaching. |
|
gobbledygook |
goblin |
Solid physical attack power and the ability to absorb stamina with the Beast Master skill. Until you get better monsters, any normal melee unit is respectable. |
|
Revenant |
ghost |
As an undead unit, it has built-in protection against death. However, its main damage ability, Drain Touch, has too short a range to be used reliably. |
|
Elder Treant |
trent |
These are mainly auxiliary monsters. Utility abilities are too situational, and slow speed and movement are big problems. |
|
vampire cat |
cat |
It's a solid physical attacker, but like Gobbledygook, it lacks useful abilities. |
The most notable weakness of the C-Tier is Poor mobility and lacks versatility.. Wild Boar and Elder Treant have considerable difficulty traversing the complex battlefield, often wasting turns trying to get into position. Wild Boar is known for its powerful physical attacks, but is virtually useless on maps that aren't perfectly flat. If you must use a C-rank monster for any reason, Vampire Cat has the least restrictions and provides a decent physical presence.
