If you are stepping into Monster Train 2 for the first time or returning with curiosity about the five new clans, it’s easy to feel a bit lost. These groups are nothing alike, and each one asks you to think, plan, and act differently. You don’t just pick a clan. You commit to a mindset.
Let’s discuss them so you know what you are getting into before your Pyre goes down in flames.

All News Clans in Monster Train 2

Under Legion

You will be dealing with a clan that turns patience into pressure. The strength of Under Legion in Monster Train 2 lies in stacking effects, e.g., poison, regen, and decay—until the enemy fades out before they even touch your core.

If you enjoy setting traps and watching enemies slowly lose their edge, this style will click. Place a strong unit up front to soak hits while the spores continue doing their job. The longer the fight lasts, the more control you gain.

Lazarus League

Here, it’s about experimentation. If you like mixing ideas and tweaking unit setups, Lazarus League clan in Monster Train 2 lets you test limits. You will be fusing abilities, amplifying traits, and stacking perks on units that weren’t built to handle them. It’s exciting and risky, but sometimes, it doesn’t work.

Pick a focus early. Maybe it’s extra energy, spell strength, or multi-strike attacks. Build around that. If you try to do everything, you will end up doing nothing—one poor choice in upgrades, and you will find yourself stuck with a deck with no backbone.

Banished

This clan keeps things simple. If you prefer your strategy with fewer moving parts and more punching, Banished has got you covered. Big hits, solid armor, and early pressure define their approach. Your Champion often carries the weight. Buff them properly, clear lanes with support spells, and you will hold your ground longer than most.

However, their raw power can fall off. Without upgrades or good support behind your frontline, they will get overwhelmed.

Pyreborne

This group plays fast and hard. Pyreborne in Monster Train 2 generates ember (your in-game energy), hoards gold, and hits like freight trains when built right.

You will want to look out for synergy between ember-generating units and expensive but powerful spells or monsters. If you get the right shop bonuses early, your run might spiral into something unstoppable. Without enough embers or relics to support your economy, your deck will stall. Big cards are only good if you can play them when it counts.

Luna Coven

This clan doesn’t rely on brute strength. You will be working with witches, spellcasters, and unpredictable effects. The strength of Luna Coven lies in control, buffs, and a steady drip of magical pressure.

Your best option is often to avoid direct clashes. Focus on spells that build momentum or support allies from a distance. With the right setup, your enemies won’t even touch your main floor.
