How to earn medals

Wining a game of Totomostro is not only a matter of a luck, although that is a large part of it. You can increase your chances in several ways. One of them is the good use of the Horns. At the start, you’ll get the Horn of Fortitude. This item partially restores the supported monster’s HP. To get better Horns, you’ll have to buy them from the Horn vendor. This vendor has a shop near the Gondola station that takes you to the Colosseum. Some of the items he sells are:

Item Name	Cost	Description
Horn of Resolve	30 000 Gil	A gridanta, that, when blown, increases the supported monster’s attack.
Horn of Tenacity	24 000 Gil	A gridanta that, when blown, increases the supported monster’s defense.
Horn of Cleansing	8 000 Gil	A gridanta that, when blown, cures the supported monster of status ailments.
Horn of Madness	18 000 Gil	A gridanta that, when blown, significantly increases the supported monster’s strength, but drastically decreases its defense.

The other things that can determine who will win are monster level information, odds and condition. All this information is given on the wager screen. A higher level means it is stronger than others, lower odds increases the chances for win, as well as the high condition.

Since there is a limited time on the fights, you can either lose, win, or draw. Winning gives you an increased number of medals, losing removes the medals invested into the wager, while a draw leaves you with the same amount of medals.

To improve your chances of winning, you should also pay attention to the number of monsters the teams have. Two level 13 monsters are stronger than one level 20.

Despite all the given information, it feels like there are some safer bets. Certain species behave better than others in the arena. Some species like: Cactuar, Coeurl, Gigantoad, Red Giant. Their strength is in their special moves. For example, Cactuar can one shot most of the monsters, and being fast is an additional bonus. Wyvern can fly, Gigantoad has ranged attacks…

Some of the teams you should avoid betting on are teams that consist of: Cockatrice, Stags, Garulas, Goblins, Mesmenirs, Dualhorns etc.
