Square Enix has sent out a new information update for Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3. This time around, we learn about Monster Synthesis. Find some details and screenshots rounded up below.
– Can strengthen creatures through “Monster Fusion”
– Join 2 parent monsters together to make a more powerful ‘child’ monster

– By repeatedly fusing monsters, you can continue to increase the power of your monsters
– Perform a Monster Synthesis by selecting two monsters as the ‘parents’ of the synthesis
– Monsters are gender-less, so you can choose your favorite monsters
– Ex: combine Nasubinara and Smile Lizard to get the completely new monster Fondue
– Freely choose which monster is born out of synthesis from five possible children
– There will be monsters with types that are the same as the parents, as well as monsters with types different from the parents
– Monsters born out of synthesis will level up and exceed the abilities of their parents
– There are a number of potential monster combinations
– Some special monsters can only be born through specific combinations
– Monsters born out of synthesis can also inherit skills from their parents
– This is in addition to the skills it is born with
– From a single skill, it can learn various special techniques and magic
