With the update to the Monster List (in preparation for the upcoming expansion) I tried to get an idea as to what we can expect. Here are my findings and thoughts based on Element, Race, and Rarity (the only filter criteria in the Monster List unfortunately):
There will be 20 new Human cards, 4 to each element, 4-7*.
There will be 5 new Nature cards, a single 5* to each element.
There will be 10 new Demon cards, 2 to each element, 7-8*.
There will be 8 new Dragon cards, a single 8* to each element and a Light 6-8* series.
Now, since we were told dual element cards were in the works I've concluded that either a) the cards will have a primary element in which it will be sorted and a secondary element that somehow effects either the attack or skills of the card, or b) there will still be another update to the Monster List once dual element cards have been officially introduced. I'm leaning towards b) since in the admins post we were told we can expect 50+ new cards and the above sums to 43.
I'm assuming that the Human and Demon cards will be the next set of limited dungeon bonus cards and raid cards. Limited dungeon generally has a 4-5*/7-8* pairing (with exceptions of Panzers) which will be Human, Demon respectively. The Raid cards have been 6-7* which makes sense for the remaining two Human cards.
I'm disappointed that Nature only got a 5* update, while Beast didn't get anything (unless of course there is still a future update to the Monster List). It's possible that these new Nature cards will have the dual element type, which could potentially be a huge help to new/mid level players. Doesn't do much for the more veteran players though. It could also be a Book 2 update to either Golem or Fairies, which again could potentially be a huge help to new/mid level players.
I'm really hoping that the five new 8* dragons are dual element type that you get by evolving an 7/8* dragon with a 7/8* dragon of a different element. Otherwise there is only one other 7* dragon that would be able to evolve....and that's all I have to say about that topic.
I'm most curious about the special 6-8* Light Dragon set especially since the Light element already has a special set in Fairy Queen. I imagine it will be a special event card that may or may not be related to the limited dungeon events.
That's all I have for now until more updates come out. Feel free to include your thoughts or any findings you may have.
And remember, be good during the holidays, you don't want the devs to put coal in your updates.
