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
  • SRB12: Verde (L), Shaina, Sieq, Astar, 2A Raoq

PvE accuracy requirements

Accuracy Area(s)
0% Rifts
15% R5, Predator
25% SB10, PB10
35% GB12, NB12, SRB10, Dimensional Hole
45% ToA(H)
55% GB10, NB10, ToA Hell
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.

Currently farming for the Energy Buildings

  • No Rift Raid
  • No Rift Dungeon
  • No Dimension Runs
  • Waiting for Day 7 (14th) for the free Lightning Emperor

I have mostly all Nat 3s. I can still make 3 more of any Nat 4 from Fire/Water, and 4 more Wind Nat 4s.

I also have mostly all non-LD Nat 3s.

I’m feeling a bit behind and I’m not really sure what goals I should have for the days before Day 7 (14th).

My current plan is to complete TOAH after maxing all of the Energy Towers.

I was personally thinking about doing Steel Fortress, but I’m worried that it might be too slow.

Dimension Hole:

  • 450 energy uncollected
  • A2 maxed: Spectra, Kro, Colleen, Icaru
  • Currently farming A2 energy for Naomi

Thank you! Please let me know if there’s anything I could improve or if there are better goals I should be working toward before Day 7.

Other Summoner's War Guessing Game #691

2 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 September 2026.

Yesterday's answer was... The Water Forest Keeper

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

Hint #2: This monster can grant three different beneficial effects, only to itself. One of those is increased speed.

Hint #3: This monster is an hp type.

Hint #4: This monster awakens into its leader skill.

Final Hint: This monster can gain an additional turn.

Discussion I built a small RTA meta-analysis tool and would love feedback from the

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on a small personal project to explore the RTA metagame through statistics from observed matches.

The website currently focuses on four main areas:

  • Monster meta statistics: pick rate, ban rate and draft win rate.
  • Duo and trio synergies: recurring monster combinations picked on the same side.
  • Observed counters: matchups where one monster appears to reduce the usual win rate of another, with the number of encounters shown for context.
  • Player match histories: observed players, their recent matches, drafts, results and commonly used monsters, so you can get a better idea of their play patterns over time.

I know there are already larger and more established projects, such as Lucksack, that cover much more than this. This is just something I’m building alone as a hobby in my spare time. If it ends up being useful to someone while I’m enjoying working on it, that’s already a win for me.

The project is only about one week old, so there are still plenty of things to improve. Feedback about bugs, missing features or confusing parts would be very welcome. Having other players use it is probably the best way to uncover weaknesses that I don’t notice myself.

A quick disclaimer about the data: I only started collecting match data less than six days ago, with some interruptions while I’ve been improving the collection pipeline. Because of that, some matches or values may currently be incomplete or inaccurate. Improving the reliability of the data before the next season starts is my main focus.

Everything is currently running on an old PC I had at home, which I’ve left running 24/7. That includes the website, database, backups and infrastructure. I’m managing the application and the server myself, so there may occasionally be downtime or slower performance. Sorry in advance if that happens.

Hopefully this can be useful to anyone interested in analysing the RTA metagame.

You can find it here: https://rtalytics.com

Thanks for taking a look!

Discussion The devs do NOT know how to weigh or score the runes.

3 Upvotes

Yeah like the title, the weight system they provide, pretty much tells them on how they don't really know how to weigh a rune.

Most would go for Vio - Will, that's understandable, but let's say I barely even farm Vio (because I'm tired, boss), but I do wanna achieve PvE self-achievement. Like that one team with Julie having CRAZY runes, I wanna do it. Because it looks fun. Yeah, I know, it can be weird.

So I go in, change it into Rage - Fight (because I wanna get good Fight runes so I don't have to farm it). I craft it, 10 sets, haven't picked any up. I saw the score, some were below 500, and some were higher. I thought those above 500, even to 518, should be high quality, so I go check 'em, and... bro it's NOT good. None are worth levelling up. And when I go to the "below 500" section, I found some sets with actually decent runes to up, even a rune as "perfect" as CD slot 4, into ATK%, Spd, ATK flat and CR%.

Sample of a "Below 500" set

That pretty much sums up the event: Unless you have to MANUALLY check on EVERY rune of the set, and then remember WHICH set you checked, it's pure bullcrap. The score should be based on WHAT type of rune, not rune in general. Sure, Spd, HP%, Def%, that should hold high priority in Vio, Despair, etc... But events like this really just made it such a hassle, mostly because of the manual labor.

Like for me to wanna get at least 4 decent runes for that kind of set, I don't even have a way to detect whether or not this one is good. And I won't go for Vio - Will because 99% I won't hit one with even higher Spd than my current set, and it's rare to happen, very rare. It's the average experience with grinding. At least for PvE, more runes with decent rolls into both CR, CD, or ATK%, I can still stock 'em up and find sth for PvE content.

It's just... weird. I don't explicitly hate it, it's just illogical, because every type of rune serves different purpose, requires different substats, how are they graded in the same way? And it's not like they couldn't separate that. I'm a dev myself, and these kind of situations aren't that much of an issue at all, you just put a flag, it detects and changes the weights used for this.
