About Monster Train 2

Monster Train 2 pits former angels and demons against the Titans that have seized Heaven. Players command one of five new clans aboard a three‑level train, battling through Hell, Heaven and the Abyss. The game blends deck‑building with strategic positioning, letting you recruit units, upgrade cards and customize your train. New Room and Equipment cards add tactical depth, while the Covenant Outpost serves as a hub for progression and story interaction.

01 / THE GUIDE

Clan Selection

Five distinct clans are available, each offering unique strengths and gameplay styles. Choosing a clan determines the units, cards and strategies you will employ throughout a run.

The variety encourages players to experiment with different builds, aligning the clan’s inherent abilities with personal playstyle.

  • Try a clan whose strengths match your preferred unit types.
  • Mix and match cards to highlight a clan’s unique bonuses.

Train Structure

Each run features a train with three vertical levels that must be defended against enemies. Units occupy these levels, and their placement influences combat outcomes.

Room Cards can be added to the train, providing boosts that affect the entire structure, while Equipment Cards enhance individual units.

  • Balance unit placement across all three levels.
  • Use Room Cards to create strategic advantages early.
