In this article, we take an in-depth look at all 10 factions and clans in Monster Train 2.
With deep roguelike mechanics and tower defense strategies, Big Fan Games’ Monster Train 2 is a breath of fresh air in the deckbuilding genre. The sequel to the highly acclaimed Monster Train lives up to expectations and delivers in-depth gameplay with hours of replayability.
The game takes place on a demonic train with multiple ways of approaching your runs. You fight through hordes of Titans who have taken control of Heaven, as angels and demons unite to fight against the Titans, who constantly try to reach the top floor of the train where the Pyre lies.
For every run to be successful, you must have a deep understanding of how your arsenal works in the game. You have 10 factions to choose from, and all of them have a distinct playstyle. Moreover, each clan has its own champion unit with unique abilities and upgrades.
Check Out Our List of All the Factions and Clans in Monster Train 2
1) Hellhorned
Demonic-fueled warriors with a playstyle of hitting hard using fire and gaining armor to reduce damage from enemies. The Hellhorned faction also has a gameplay mechanic of stacking Rage. These Rage buffs carry over across turns and temporarily boost attack damage. Some units are also capable of buffing allies when they die.
2) Luna Coven
A powerful clan in Monster Train 2 focused on magic and powerful spellcasters. Luna Coven uses different Moon phases and Conduit stacks to deliver powerful spell damage to enemies.
3) Pyreborne
The Pyreborne is the fire-based faction in your arsenal. With powerful burn effects, this legion of flame bearers can set enemies on fire easily. Their versatile style makes the units flexible in almost any situation, while also providing a good starter kit for new players.
4) Underlegion
This swarm faction believes in overwhelming enemies with numbers alone. Underlegion can spawn mushroom units called Funguy that can easily turn the tide of battle in your favor with strong buffs and an ever-increasing army.
5) Lazarus League
The Lazarus League is one of the most flexible clans in Monster Train 2. The faction allows a lot of experimentation with its Unstable ability, as it can clear waves of enemies once their health drops below a certain threshold.
6) Banished
You gain access to the Banished faction fairly early in the game. The clan is built around buffing units with Valor, a stat that gives bonus damage and armor. Banished is a powerful legion of fallen angels that can deal an immense amount of damage in a short period.
7) Awoken
Nature’s best friend, also called the Awoken clan, is all about reflecting damage and healing allies. This faction requires multiple turns to reach full potential, as their speed is lower compared to others. Awoken can also immobilize enemies using their vines to control the flow of combat.
8) Umbra
The Umbra clan focuses on sacrifice and consumption. The gameplay revolves around summoning and devouring morsels, or weak minions, to power up other units. Umbra units might start out weak but gain incredible momentum as the battle continues.
9) Stygian Guard
A clan of frost mages and aquatic spellcasters that apply debuffs to enemies and damage them over time using Frostbite. The Stygian Guard deck includes multiple cards to dismantle the enemy’s ranks with magic.
10) Melting Remnant
A necromantic faction that resurrects its dead units and makes them stronger each turn. The Melting Remnant’s playstyle includes the Burnout buff, a unique mechanic used to provide buffs or reform fallen allies.
The Wurmkin is the only one missing from the original cast of returning factions, although the developers have confirmed that the clan will be showing up again in a future update.
