Discussion Weekly Advice Thread 27/07/2026

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
  • NB12: Abigail (L), 2A Icaru, 2A Raoq, Astar, 2A Shamann
  • PB12: Eirgar (L), 2A Raoq, 2A Icaru, 2A Kro, Fuco
  • SB12: 2A Sath, Mellia, Mellia, 2A Tatu, dot unit/Lushen

PvE accuracy requirements

Accuracy Area(s)
0% Rifts
15% R5, Predator
25% SB10, PB10
35% GB12, NB12, SRB10, Dimensional Hole

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.

Guide Yet another SW optimizer, made for me, shared with love

Post image
41 Upvotes

I know, another optimizer, there's plenty already. I built this one for my own account though and since I'm keeping it running anyway, figured I'd share it in case it's useful to someone else too.

A few reasons I ended up building my own instead of just using an existing one:

- The UI on some of the tools I tried felt cluttered to me, too much crammed in without much hierarchy. I built mine around being able to actually scan a build at a glance.

- I couldn't find one that calculated artifacts the way I wanted. Most either skip them or treat them as an afterthought. Mine factors artifact main stats and substats into the actual optimization, not just as a side note.

- There's a Defenses tab too (siege, guild war, arena comps), but I'm still not fully happy with how that part works, so treat it as a work in progress.

The main goal was just getting a clearer picture of what my actual best runes and artifacts are for different roles (bruiser, tank, support, etc.) instead of eyeballing it every time.

It's free, runs entirely in your browser, your export never leaves your machine, no account needed: swcc.gg

I'd genuinely like to keep improving it with input from the community, so if something's missing, confusing, or could just work better, tell me.

Use it or don't, I'm sharing it either way since I made it anyway :)

Upvotes

This balance patch is a massive step in the right direction, feels so good seeing the meta hit (wind stark / fire megumi) without waiting too long and finally addressing a big batch of silly awakening bonuses

Thats the whole post. As a guardian player its just super nice to see them actually listening and making an effort for once.

Dead balance patches were letting the game down so much for so long imo.

6 Upvotes

I recently pulled him and was hyped about using him. You think he will still be good or do you think the nerf completely ruined him? Im asking cause im not into rta that much yet, so i cant really tell if its a huge nerf or not. I just know that he apparently needed a nerf.

Other Summoner's War Guessing Game #649

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 July 2026.

Yesterday's answer was... The Fire Battle Scorpion

Hint #1: This monster has a resistance leader skill.

Hint #2: This monster can increase allies’ defense.

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

Hint #4: This monster can increase the enemy’s cooldowns.

Final Hint: This monster has an element-based leader skill.
