Ascendance roster prediction after TGS

There's the first correct guess, yay... :/

Bumped up the number to 38 to be optimistic that today's count of 32 monsters for Ascendance is without TU monsters and not the final total.

From Rise's side, Teostra makes it more likely that it's Malzeno and not (base) Magnamalo as the missing blast weapons are covered now by Teostra. Still need Sleep Lance (I almost put in Malfestio but need a water Guardian too, maybe need the full 40...).

6-9 monsters are known by now. After the next trailers/reveals it will be cheating to change anything anymore I guess?

I let go of a new underwater fight, but added back Valstrax as I needed an Elder for the fallow season of Skybound.

I think most the of the apex will stay in their map and will get a beefed up MR variant, not a subspecies or elemental swap.

Nergigante is still highly likely (so that they don't break the flagship pattern), but will be TU probably as I doubt it will be part of the main campaign.

I'm signing up for the theory that the black goo is the original big bad, so far we may see only part of the final boss in the form of those small goo monsters.
