In Gloomhaven, each monsterβs ability to influence the board is measured by its threat range, which combines how far it can move and how far its attacks can reach. Understanding this metric helps players anticipate monster positioning and plan optimal routes for their characters.
The threat range is calculated by adding the monsterβs movement distance (in tiles) to its attack range (also in tiles). This simple linear relationship reflects the maximum distance from a monsterβs starting point at which it can either close in on a target or strike from afar.
By mastering the threat range, players can gauge safe zones, prioritize targets, and exploit terrain to mitigate monster aggression. The formula below formalizes this relationship.
M = Monster move distance (tiles)
A = Monster attack range (tiles)
