Quick answer

How champion unlocks and upgrade paths work

Roster progression and run upgrades are separate systems: clan level unlocks the alternate champion permanently, while Light Forges choose and improve that run's path.

1

Unlock champion two at clan level 5

A clan's first champion is available when the clan is. Play runs with that clan to earn XP; at level 5, its second champion becomes selectable. See the complete clan and level-reward guide.

2

Choose one of two offered paths

Every champion has three possible paths. The opening Light Forge presents two at tier I, so the same champion can start a run in a different role.

3

Continue to tier III or flex

Light Forges after the first and second Flying Boss let you advance the chosen path or take an offered tier from another path. Open a champion below for every exact upgrade.

Champion questions

How many champions are in Monster Train 2?

How do you unlock the second champion for a clan?

Reach clan level 5 by playing runs with that clan. Its first champion is available when the clan unlocks; the alternate champion becomes selectable at level 5.
