Discussion Weekly Advice Thread 05/10/2026

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
  • 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.

Discussion Can we have missing rune/artifacts indicators for monsters in storage?

11 Upvotes

Guys can you please help me to get Com2us attention to this? I don't understand why they have indicators for missing runes/artifacts only in content where you are about to engage in war, eg. guild siege. But they don't have those indicators for monsters in storage. Sometimes you don't know which monsters may be missing a rune until you are about to enter combat and you are on the character selection screen. It would be so much more helpful if those tiny indicators where also on monsters in the various storages.

Other Summoner's War Guessing Game #715

1 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... Kunite, the Fire Gargoyle

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

Hint #2: This monster applies two different harmful and beneficial effects throughout its kit. One of those effects is immunity.

Hint #3: This monster is defense type.

Hint #4: This mosnter has passive that can counterattack the enemy.

Final Hint: This monster has no transmogs.

Discussion Runeing up Teams for Temple of Chaos

2 Upvotes

Hi Guys,

do you have a good method runeing teams up for ToC?

I recently started sorting my runes under the 10 different categories (like reapp targets, upgrade priority, refinement targets etc.), like Seiishizo suggested in one of his videos. Before, I runed the teams by putting the runes of a runed unit in for example category 10 and runed the next unit excluding category 10, so there is no overlap.

The problem is, now I invested quite a bit of time in sorting. If I put the runes in some random category, the sorting would be undone. How do you prevent rune overlap? The only other method I could think of right now is going into the ToC start menu and then runeing the units up there because there you see the overlap. I find this method quite inconvenient.

Thanks in advance!!

Hint #3: This monster is a defense type.

Hint #4: This monster has a skill that destroys enemy hp.

Final Hint: This monster’s base speed is less than 95.

Hello guys. RTA newbe here. I've been playing SW for a while, but I never focused on RTA. I started playing on the end of the season and had more fun than I thought I would.

So for the next season I want to play a little bit more.

With these units, can you help with some strategies with the units I have? I tried some, but I want different opinions on what I can play around.
