Discussion Weekly Advice Thread 19/10/2026

1 Upvotes

Welcome to the WAT, summoner! Post questions regarding team composition, content progression, game mechanics, or anything else in this thread. If you are able to help your fellow summoners, please take some time to contribute to the community and answer some questions yourself as well!

A lot of helpful guides and resources can be found in the subreddit mega wiki.

Please also make sure to check out our FAQ.


If you ask a question please give ALL relevant information!

  • Your monster box: Upload a screenshot to Reddit directly or an image hosting site like imgur or use swarfarm. Sort your box by "Grade" and try to include all 4*s and LD nat 3*s.
  • Your current progression: Where you currently are in the game, what your teams are, what content you need help with and what you have tried so far.
  • For ToA, which enemies are on the floor you're stuck on.
  • For PvP, indicate what rank you are trying to achieve, i.e. currently F3 want to get C1 Arena. For RTA also share your rank percentage.

The less people have to ask you to clarify or look up to help you, the more likely you will get a (fast) response.


Beginner friendly/farmable PvE teams

  • GB10: Vero (L), (2A) Kro, Shannon, Belladeon, Darion or Vero (L), Fran, Loren, (2A) Kro, Shannon/Lapis
  • GB12: Vero (L), (2A) Kro, Shannon, Belladeon, Darion or Vero (L), Fran, Loren, 2A Kro, Shannon/Lapis/Akhamamir/Sigmarus
  • DB12: Verde (L), Vero, Loren, 2A Spectra, Fran/2A Raoq
  • PB12: Verde (L), (2A) Belladeon, 2A Raoq, 2A Kro, 2A Kahli/Riley/Eirgar (L -> R -> Boss)
  • SB12: Fran, Loren, 2A Kro, 2A Raoq, Ling Ling
  • NB12: Fran + 4 multihit DDs: Pick from Icaru/Raoq/Kro, Kung Fu Girls, Loren, twins (Shaina, Sabrina, Talia), Abigail, Scarlett (unawakened)
  • SRB12: Verde (L), Shaina, Sieq, Astar, 2A Raoq
  • ToA(H): Fran (L), Vero (also possible L), 2A Spectra, Mav, + Loren/Shannon/Mellia/Tyron
  • R5 solo teams: Check this thread
  • R5 stat minimum: You need 25k HP and 1.5k DEF for FL units and 20k HP and 0.8-1k DEF for BL units. Healers and your cleanser should have 100% RES after lead.
  • Rift unit options: Xiao Lin, Theomars, Fran, Colleen, and 2A Kro can be used in most of your rift teams. FL Mav/Bernard is good for Water rift and Lapis is good for Fire and Dark rifts. Twins are great in all rifts.

You still need appropriate rune quality and turn order! Do not expect to beat a dungeon just by having these units.


Common speed teams

  • R5 solo teams: Check this thread. If you pick a BJ5 version, also make sure to read this BJ5 guide
  • GB12: Teshar (L), Luna, Prilea, Shamann, Konamiya
  • DB12: Shaina (L), Julie, Kyle, Liam, Konamiya

General tips and answers to Frequently Asked Questions:

  • NEVER feed non-farmable monsters! (you can feed dupes for skill ups)
  • Save your devilmons! In general you do not want to give devilmon to 4* units, Sigmarus and Jeanne are the best early game candidates. Veromos does not need devilmon.
  • Best summon stone targets: Tyron, Lushen, Shaina, Sabrina, Talia. For PvP Khmun, Skogul, Galleon.
  • Check the events for free energy, mana, and other beneficial stuff. To find the current event pages use the button below the energy/mana counter in-game.
  • Lapis can farm Faimon Hell on the free 6* level 15 vampire/revenge runes provided by the challenges. She should be your first 5* and probably 6* as well.
  • Shield sets can reduce the HP/DEF requirements on other units and multiple shield sets will stack to form one larger total shield. Each set contributes a shield equal to 15% of the base HP of the monster they are equipped on.
  • White artifacts from B2 are cheap to upgrade and can give you a massive stat boost early.
  • Hall of Heroes (HoH) should be attempted as high as you can climb. Reps like Rica or Verad can help a lot. Mid/late game players can get 5 extra copies of the HoH monster using almighty scroll pieces after each floor at the small cost of 2000 guild points for each extra monster.
  • Most nat 5*s are PvP exclusive and should be set aside in storage till you make some progress on PvE. Some exceptions are CC units like Rica for ToA, cleansers like Anavel for starter R5, and Perna for rifts.
  • Dimensional hole energy should be spent as soon as possible, always try to stay under the energy cap (recharge rate: 1 per 2h). 2A Kro first, then Spectra or Raoq.

2nd slot is at least usable. I knew RNG was bad and yet 0 procs in spd is diabolical. NGL I didn’t expect much but this is disappointing. I know that I overhyped myself still It’s like waiting for Christmas present to find coal inside.

Discussion Bug Velaska with Mirinae

7 Upvotes

I didn’t realize earlier that Velaska’s damage no longer takes Mirinae’s skill 3 into account, whereas it used to. Since it no longer works, I have no proof, but originally I had checked that it did work when I built this arena offense.

Has anyone else been able to verify this? Is it a bug since the recent Mirinae buff, or is it intentional?

Discussion I want to know your honest thoughts on Summoners War.

27 Upvotes

Hello, Summoners! This is stasandco from YouTube. For those who don't know me, I create SW content. I won the 2025 Creator Clash and hosted the SWC America's Cup in Toronto this year. I started playing in 2021, got serious in 2024, and have spent a lot of time crashing out over being hard-stuck in P1.

Right now, I want to have an honest, open discussion about the game we know and (mostly) love. I want to hear from you about how you play and what you really think about the state of the game.

DISCLOSURE: I plan on recording this for a video a week from today. I don't plan on sharing usernames in the video, but just wanted to give you a heads up.

A) How do you actually play?
Are you a hardcore PvPer, or do you strictly PvE? Are you a whale, and if so, what do you prioritize buying? Are you the person who waits until the last two weeks of the season to bully lower ranks with a cleave team? Do you grind 30 wings every single day, or did you hit G1 once and never touch it again? I want to know your authentic experience.

B) What are your real thoughts?
This is the main discussion. I started taking RTA seriously in 2024, and since the RTA changes, I’ve been hardstuck P1. (And yes, I have Velaska. No, a single unit doesn't carry you anymore lol. Maybe 5 years ago, but not today).

I have a lot of opinions on this game, but I want to hear yours. If you could sit down with the Com2uS devs for 5 minutes, what is the one thing you would yell at them about? What keeps you playing, and what makes you want to quit?

The more you can give me, the better. This is an honest discussion, so if there are things you've wanted to get off your chest, please do! If there are features you wish C2U would implement, make them known. Whether you've been playing for a decade or just started yesterday, I want to hear it.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I look forward to reading what you have to say. :)

Best,
stasandco

TL;DR: I want to know how you play Summoners War and what you think is wrong/right with it.

Hola, aún no comprendo bien una mecánica de este equipo. Voy con Frodo(L), Luna, Julie, Prillea y Himel. Cumplo con todos los requisitos de daño tanto rage cómo figth. el problema es Frodo, veo en videos y amigos que sus frodos hacen S2 la mayor parte del tiempo, el mío pasa haciéndo S1, es por temas de spd/barra de ataqué cómo con los Garuda? Mi mejor run fue 22 seg pero con Frodo dando problemas subo hasta 27 y en ocasiones incluso más. Gracias por leer, qué tengan buena semana e invocaciones.

Discussion How does the Interserver ranking work?

4 Upvotes

I know it's somehow important when you've done your attacks, but I was the 2nd person that completed their 25 wins (Astaroth was first) but somehow I'm 4th with the most def wins? I used to be 2nd for the past couple of days too (Astaroth still beat me somehow while he always had less wins)

My def is 8/10 in case that matters. What's the deal with the placement?

Other Summoner's War Guessing Game #727

3 Upvotes

How this works is that I will give hints of any kind that point to a certain monster, your goal is to guess who the monster is. How few hints can you get it in (make your guess but make sure you still read them all)? No cheating with the monster box either! The monster will be in its current state as of October 2026.

Yesterday's answer was... Water Aya, the Water Nobara Kugisaki

Hint #1: This monster has an attack leader skill.

Hint #2: This monster can inflict a bomb on enemies.

Hint #3: This monster can reduce its own cooldown.

Hint #4: This monster is a support type.

Final Hint: This monster ‘s awakening bonus is a new skill.
