Nexomon: Extinction - All Starters, Ranked (2024)

As with all monster-taming games, the starter is a very difficult and important choice. What makes it even harder for Nexomon: Extinction, in particular, is the sheer amount of options, with nine total starters you can pick from. The game gives you an option for each of the types in the game, unlike other games of the genre such as Pokemon, so you have a wide array of options.

We rank the best Nexomon in the game. Make sure you grab these monsters for your team compositions.

While all the starters are among the best in their respective type, it can be hard to pick one. Luckily for the indecisive, you can also catch these starters out in the wild and train them like other wild Nexomon. The move sets are the same throughout an evolutionary family, and there are no abilities, so comparing the fully evolved forms of each makes the most sense.

While we've mentioned how all the starters are among the best members of their respective typing, some leave a little more to be desired than others. Yarnesty is the final form of the small cutie Mearn. While the kitty is as adorable as they come and has a cool in-world description, it's a little on the weaker side, mostly due to its subpar typing.

Its stats do not compare well to some of the other starters, especially the most critical stats. It has decent speed, but that's hardly enough to make it strong when the attack stat is only decent. Yarnesty does have some fancy tricks, learning Corrosive Breeze, Sonic Scream, and Mystic Aroma, but that doesn't cut it.

Namansi has an incredible design. That is sort of depressing, as the design feels wasted on one of the weaker starters. Namansi is the final form of the puppy Dinja. It's a tanky Nexomon, focusing on taking a hit and dishing damage back.

Namansi even has some cool skills, so that's not its issue. It has access to recovery in Heal & Recover, support skills in Quick Feet & Smoke Screen, and lots of great damaging skills. What keeps Namansi from greatness is its bad typing. Normal-type is not strong against anything, but it is weak against the powerful Ghost & Psychic types.

Raksuma is the final form of the Plant-type starter. It is a faster Nexomon with a glass cannon-like design. Unfortunately, its stats are a little underwhelming. It's fast, but is not great at taking any hits or dealing much damage. In Nexomon, where one-hit knock-outs are not common, bulkier monsters are generally better.

Luckily, Raksuma has some great utility skills, including Infected Seed, Natural Heal, Absolute Barrier & Poison Cloud. Thanks to a decent speed, Raksuma manages to spread these moves before getting hit, but at the end of the day, it does get hit pretty hard.

Hainok is the final evolution of the heroic little bird Noki. It's the Water-type starter and arguably has one of the better designs. It's a fast, support Nexomon at its core, sharing the lowest defense stat among the starters with Reptomotor.

Water is not a bad type, to be honest, being strong against three types including Ghost-type, and only having two vulnerabilities. Hainok's notable moves are Ice Flakes, Power Up, and Recover. Hainok is just kept back by its stat distribution and low defense.

Tresaur is like the counterpart to Raksuma. It has decent bulk and great HP, but little utility and speed. Tresaur is actually a viable wall, with defensive skills like Rock Wall, and Healing Stone. Despite its subpar typing of mineral, with two strengths and three weaknesses, Tresaur has an uphill battle to be great.

What makes Tresaur so good is its move-pool, and ability to take many hits. It has access to the almost broken sleep status with its move Sleep Song. Add to that several strong offensive moves and the occasional buffing option, and Tresaur becomes a very solid option.

Fire-type in Nexomon: Extinction is one of the better ones defensively. It resists four types out of the nine and is only vulnerable to two. Thus, Lumerei having the stats of a tank with high HP and Defense, makes it a great option for the backbone of any team.

Lumerei also has several useful Skills, including Disintegrate, Fire Cage, Siphon, Power Up, and Screech. Lumerei exemplifies what a tanky damage sponge in Nexomon: Extinction should be perfect.

Reptomotor is the wacky-looking Electric-type starter. The evolved form of Gekoko, Reptomotor is the fastest of all the starters. With such high speed and weak defenses, it seems a little risky to use at first glance.

Luckily, Reptomotor has some tools in his arsenal to make use of its breakneck speed. The skills Absolute Barrier, Blue Charge, Drain, Blitz Barrier, and Battle Roar, Reptomotor is always going to slow down the opponent before they even get to move. A sizable attack stat sitting at 35 also helps the chances of Reptomotor prevailing.

2 Noocidal

Noocidal is a creepy little dude, evolving from the equally creepy but also cute Behilda. Noocidal immediately jumps up the power ranking due to its great Ghost-type. Ghost and Psychic are two of the strongest types in Nexomon, each with more strengths and fewer weaknesses compared to other types.

Noocidal is more of a tank than a speedy sweeper, which we've already stated is the better alternative. It's got amazing skills such as Glare, Haunting, Dark Mist, Creep, and Screech. This spooky ghost can become a menace really quick if your opponent is not ready for it.

1 Feliblanqo

The best starter Nexomon trophy goes to Feliblanqo. It arguably has the best typing in the game, being Psychic. Its stats are great, with a nice distribution between the most important ones. While slightly on the frail side defensively, it's great typing and HP makes up for that.

Feliblanqo edges out its peers thanks to its available skills. To begin with, Feliblanqo gets the absolute disruption skill Pendulum at the early level of 32. Other notable skills in Feliblanqo's moveset are Spiritual Boost, Absolute Barrier, Renovate, and Kinetic Mirror. You can't go wrong with this masked cat.
