Since the last report: The report reflects a shift toward a defensive product strategy, characterized by rising user frustration over ad density and monetization, necessitating a focus on interactive engagement loops to compete with rivals.
Bottom line
Monster Legends remains a category leader due to its deep elemental strategy and real-time PvP, but its long-term health is threatened by monetization fatigue. To defend against Dragon Mania Legends, the PM must introduce interactive engagement loops to fill idle timers while cooling down the aggressive ad-delivery system.
