Discussion Weekly Advice Thread 12/10/2026

2 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.

65% DB12, DB10

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.

Discussion Who Has Cracked the Code on Recruiting?

6 Upvotes

Anybody?

We had a guildmate that was brilliant at it. It contributed to what we called our guild’s “golden age” last year into this year. We hit G1 in siege and WGB for the first time.

Now, we’ve lost players, but replacing them is like pulling teeth. One of the vices mentioned merging as a solution.

How do you all manage this stuff?

Discussion Wanna start with RTA but what Units?

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

So in the past 10 months i started upgrading my rune quality a little bit (especially DB12 and GB12)

My fastest Swift Broken set currently is +214 SPD on a 100 base SPD
My fastest Vio Broken set currently is +185 SPD on a 100 base SPD
My fastest Despair Broken sit currently is +182 SPD on 100 base SPD

Will runes arent that great either (my fastest there is 27 there but im focusing on DB12 rn so maybe ill get something good there soon aswell)

My 30 Spd+ runes:
Slot 1:
1x Swift, 1x Fatal
Slot 4:
1x Guard
Slot 5: 1x Fatal, 2x Vio
Slot 6: 1x Seal (my fastest and best rune with Acc main stat and 32spd)

I have lots of 27-29 spd runes but ill keep grinding.

So now my question is with that kind of view on my runes and the units below the screenshots, what would be a realistic rank i could reach and what units should i use. (never played rta yet)

Right by now I don’t need him for any content.

Now I want to play a little with fire homu and I’d like to use it for siege content.
What moves do you recommend?

Discussion When is a good time to leave guild and join a new one?

3 Upvotes

With siege ending this month, when to leave and join a new guild? I like my guild, but it’s time to take siege more seriously, we casually get g1 which is nice, but only about 6 of us are always attacking. Want to get into the more competitiveness of siege. So leaving on good terms and trying to get into the scene.

Discussion Some animations need fixing

3 Upvotes

There are a few monster animations that reallllly bug me.

Dokkaebi Lord S2 (magical gourd bottle) for example, is horribly animated. The end of the animation looks unfinished, and it is EGREGIOUS in the crit animation where it immediately smacks back to its resting pose with literally 0 transition animation. It's been like this since release and I always thought it was a bug that would eventually get addressed.

The other is the Specter Princess Arsenal of Sacrifice. It's such a well designed skill but the application of its UI is really god damn bad. These needs to be some kind of indicator between turns outside of a slight glow below the cross blade. If anything, the gradual glow ISN'T helpful because at a certain sacrifice number it's hard to tell whether it's actually full, especially when a multi hit move has been used and the counter jumps around blindly on your screen. I wish there was a permanent glowing number above her head for the user of her so you can plan around what to do with her before her next turn.

Has anyone done an in-depth comparison between the two and which is better overall?

I feel that Wind Legolas is much easier to build since he can do half the setup himself but I Chun-Li has higher base spd and cant glance against fire types.

Discussion Best monster to expand on a very limited roster of units

Post image
8 Upvotes

My account is barely 100 days old, and my box is very limited, as you can see. I also have a bunch of f2p stuff made, just hidden in storage in order not to obstruct view. My main AO has been Tiana Galeon Manannan, but as my runes are obviously lacking, this team becomes useless around P1.

I also play with various Lami Amber teams, and for now it’s like my only viable option to beat stronger defenses. It’s incredibly strong, but I lack Trix (7r1x) and it’s very noticeable

Otherwise, I can pick the most unique monster in game - Leo. He provides so many options to counter speed teams, I feel like I’m obliged to pick him…

What’s your opinion in general? What monster does the most for a newer player?

Other Summoner's War Guessing Game #725

4 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... Giselle, the Dark Macaron Guard

Hint #1: This monster can inflict unrecoverable on enemies.

Hint #2: This monster is defense type.

Hint #3: This monster can be summoned from an unknown scroll.

Hint #4: This monster is of wind element.

Final Hint: This monster can decrease the enemy’s attack power.
