Stella Sora Artwork 8

Monolith Mode is the heart of Stella Sora, acting as both your main progression route and a roguelike challenge builder for all other content. To thrive, you need optimized team compositions, smart Trekker picks, and a clear strategy for each floor and boss.

Monolith Mode Overview

  • Assemble a team of three Trekkers: Vanguard (main DPS), Support, and Versatile (flex slot).
  • Each run lets you pick Melodies, Potentials, Discs, and random power-ups to adapt to floor layouts and enemy types (Day 1 Reddit Guide).
  • All progress is energy-free, farm Monolith endlessly to refine and record your best builds (YouTube Starter Guide).

Meta Strategies for Success

1. Build Around S-Tier Trekkers

Prioritize top meta characters (LDPlayer Comp Guide):

  • Chitose, Freesia, Mistique, Nanoha, Gerie, these have superior survivability, damage, or support, and are currently the backbone of top clears.

2. Elemental Synergy

  • Mono-element teams (all Aqua, all Ignis, etc.) get bonus damage and resistances, ideal for bosses with clear elemental weaknesses.
  • Mix elements if you need coverage for diverse floors, but stick to one or two for most efficient clears.

3. Discs and Melody Selection

  • Sync Discs to your main Trekker’s element for stat bonuses.
  • Always grab Melodies and Potentials that enhance DPS, healing, or crucial defensive stats for survival during boss phases.

4. Rotation and Control

  • Only your main character is player-controlled, invest here for max burst/utility.
  • Support/Versatile Trekkers should trigger powerful Ultimates or passives. Chitose and Minova excel in support; Mistique and Freesia in AoE and burst.

5. Floor Strategy

  • Early Floors: Clear fast, build momentum with AoE attackers (Chixia, Nanoha).
  • Mid-Floors: Prioritize buffs, cleanse, and healing, difficulty ramps quickly.
  • Boss Floors: Save ultimates, use element advantage, and coordinate buffs/debuffs.

Sample Meta Team Compositions

  • Aqua Clear: Chitose (main), Freesia, Teresa — healing, AoE, and sustain.
  • Ignis Wipe: Chixia (main), Amber, Kasimira — relentless firepower and speedy clears.
  • Umbra Burst: Mistique (main), Caramel, Cosette — disables and high PvP/Monolith boss damage.
  • Terra Tank: Gerie (main), Ridge, Nazuna — tankiness for deep runs and high-pressure floors.

Mix and match for event or boss requirements, but keep a meta core for top-clear consistency (Gamezebo Tier List).

Top Tips for Monolith Mode

  • Use free rerolls and launch rewards to secure at least one S-Tier main carry.
  • Adapt to floor modifiers using versatile powers; don’t auto-mode tough floors.
  • Prioritize powerful Melody and Disc synergies with each run.
  • Keep an eye on the ever-changing meta, patches can elevate new Trekkers or comps.

Mastering Monolith Mode is vital for all Stella Sora progress. Focus on S-tier Trekkers, lean into element/faction synergies, and never overlook the power of the right Melody or Disc! Optimize your run for both fun and leaderboard placements.
