Summoners War Beginners Guide - Theria Games

Introduction to Summoners War

Welcome to the world of Summoners War: Sky Arena, a popular mobile turn-based strategy game developed by Com2uS. At its core, Summoners War is a gacha collector game where players collect, summon, and train a wide variety of monsters to create powerful teams. With over 1,000 unique monsters, each with distinct abilities, the game emphasizes strategic team combinations to achieve victory in battles. You’ll engage in both PvE content, such as quests and dungeons, and competitive PvP battles in the Arena and Guild Wars.

Originally designed for mobile devices, Summoners War: Sky Arena is also available on PC via Steam, allowing players to enjoy the game across platforms. Whether you’re a newcomer or returning to the game, this Summoners War Beginners Guide will help you navigate the early stages, providing essential tips and strategies for efficient progression.

Having been around for nearly a decade, Summoners War continues to thrive, regularly receiving updates that introduce new monsters, features, and content. It remains a mainstay in the mobile RPG market. For new players in 2024 and 2025, it’s important to know that Summoners War is a free-to-play (F2P) game. You can progress without spending real money, though purchasing in-game packages can help speed up your progression. While some players may feel the game leans towards pay-to-win mechanics, it’s still possible to summon high-tier monsters through scrolls provided by the game without spending extra money.

The goal of this beginner’s guide is to provide you with essential advice and strategies to help you progress efficiently in Summoners War: Sky Arena. By understanding the key mechanics, prioritizing essential tasks, and making informed decisions with your resources, this guide will set you on the path to success in your summoning journey.

Getting Started

To begin your journey in Summoners War: Sky Arena, the first step is to download and install the game on your preferred device, whether it’s your phone or PC via Steam. Once you launch the game, you’ll go through your initial monster summons. It’s important to keep the introductory monsters you receive, as they will form the foundation of your early teams and prove useful in the beginning stages. The Water Magic Knight (Lapis), in particular, is a valuable early-game monster known for being a great experience point (EXP) farmer, helping you level up your other monsters more efficiently.

After completing the initial summons, you should immediately create and link your game account. This step is crucial to prevent data loss and ensures that the company can retrieve your account if necessary. If you’re playing on Steam, you’ll be prompted to link your account right away, securing your data from the start.

Familiarizing yourself with the game’s basic currencies is essential to progressing smoothly:

Energy is used to run dungeons and engage in various activities. You have a limited amount of energy that refills over time.

Mana Stones are the primary in-game currency earned by completing content, selling runes, and other activities. Mana Stones are used for upgrading runes, purchasing items from the Magic Shop, and more.

Crystals are the premium currency, which can be obtained through completing achievements, daily missions, events, or by purchasing them. Crystals are often used to refill energy and purchase scrolls.

Arena Wings are used specifically to participate in Arena battles against other players.

It’s also important to take some time to familiarize yourself with the game’s User Interface (UI). While a detailed breakdown isn’t necessary at this point, understanding where to access your monsters, inventory, battle areas, shops, and settings will greatly help you navigate the game more efficiently.

As a new user, you will receive Goddess Amaria’s Blessing for the first month. This special benefit includes free Rune removal, allowing you to experiment with equipping runes without any cost. You will also benefit from half the Mana cost for upgrading runes, have access to all attribute dungeons for easier monster awakenings, and earn extra Glory points from Arena battles. Be sure to make the most of these advantages during your early progression to set yourself up for success.

Early Game Progression

The initial phase of Summoners War is crucial for establishing a strong foundation. The game offers several avenues for progression, and it’s important to prioritize effectively to maximize your account’s growth.

One of the most important early objectives is to follow the Summoner’s Way questline. This structured path provides valuable rewards, including monsters, runes, and other essential resources. Completing tasks in the proper order will ensure you don’t miss out on important rewards that significantly boost your early game. The challenges within Summoner’s Way, such as those in the Giant’s Keep tab, where you can acquire Shannon, will introduce you to key aspects of the game.

Clearing the scenario maps on Normal mode should be another priority. This not only unlocks additional content but also rewards you with rune sets that will be useful for farming in the Giant’s Keep and other areas. Don’t hesitate to use the rep monsters from your friends to help you overcome challenging stages. Early on, you’ll receive the Magic Knight (Lapis), a capable farmer for the Faimon region. Focusing on leveling up Lapis will allow you to breeze through early content.

Aim to achieve your first six-star monster as quickly as possible. The game provides ample resources to help you reach this milestone early, especially with the Magic Knight. Having a six-star monster greatly boosts its stats and makes progressing through various game modes much easier.

Managing your runes effectively is key. Early on, you’ll receive rune sets through scenarios and the Summoner’s Way. Focus on equipping these runes to your monsters, as they will enhance their effectiveness. There’s no need to stress over perfecting rune setups at this point; simply equipping the provided sets will help strengthen your monsters. The auto-equip feature can be helpful in the early stages. Remember that rune removal is free during your first month, so take advantage of this and experiment with different setups. As you progress, you’ll begin farming for better quality runes in dungeons.

Establishing daily routines is essential for efficient progression. Some key daily tasks include using your Arena Wings to aim for Rank 1 in the Novice League each week for glory points. During weekdays, set a weak defense to encourage “revenge loops” for more points. Be sure to complete all five lanterns in the Labyrinth daily for bonus guild points and gems. Prioritize Time Limit stages for easier high scores. Collect free crystals from Dimensional Rift and complete daily missions for rewards like energy, runes, and Transcendence pieces. Lastly, check the Magic and Glory Shops regularly, prioritizing Devilmon purchases and looking for good deals.

Joining a guild early provides several benefits. Guild activities like Labyrinth and Guild Battles reward you with guild points, which can be used to purchase valuable items. A guild also provides social aspects and potential help from more experienced players. Aim to join a farming guild early to start accumulating Ifrit summoning pieces.

Once you’re ready, begin exploring the Cairos Dungeon. Your first goal should be to build a team capable of consistently farming Giant’s Keep B10 (GB10). A common early GB10 team includes Veromos (Leader), Belladeon (Bella), Bernard, and Shannon, with a fifth support monster based on your summons. Focus on fusing Veromos early, as he is crucial for early progression. You can obtain the necessary fusion materials through the new player event and by farming secret dungeons. Rune rewards and Summoner’s Way rewards will support your starter team.

In addition, try to clear as many floors as possible in the Tower of Ascension (ToA) Normal mode each month. ToA resets monthly and offers significant rewards, including a Devilmon at Floor 70, a Light & Dark scroll at Floor 90, and a Legendary scroll at Floor 100. Even clearing lower floors provides valuable resources.

Consider fusing other useful monsters like Verdehile (for Dragons B12), Mellia (for the questline), and Balegyr. Early fusions can give you strong monsters that will be valuable in progressing through dungeons and events.

Invest in upgrading Glory Towers in the Glory Shop after purchasing your weekly Devilmon. Focus on the Sanctum of Energy to increase your energy limit and the Mysterious Plant to improve your energy recharge rate. Speed towers are also a top priority, as speed is a crucial stat in Summoners War.

Lastly, make sure to stay informed about events. Checking the event page daily will provide you with bonus rewards, which can significantly speed up your progression.

By focusing on these key areas in the early game, you’ll build a solid foundation for more advanced content and continue progressing efficiently through Summoners War: Sky Arena.

Building Your First Teams

Establishing efficient teams for various types of content is essential for making consistent progress in Summoners War. In the early game, focus on building teams with easily obtainable or farmable monsters that can handle key areas like Cairos Dungeons and the Tower of Ascension.

Your top priority after completing the early scenario stages and Summoner’s Way quests should be building a Giant’s Keep B10 (GB10) team. GB10 is where you’ll farm essential runes that will power up all your monsters. A common and reliable early GB10 team consists of the following farmable units:

Veromos (Leader): Obtained through fusion, Veromos provides a helpful leader skill and a passive cleanse. Fusing Veromos early is highly recommended.

Belladeon (Bella): Farmable through a Light Secret Dungeon (Hall of Light open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). Belladeon offers a defense break, a crucial debuff for increasing damage, as well as healing and an attack bar boost.

Shannon (Wind Pixie): Obtainable through the Giant’s Keep tab within the challenge section of the Summoner’s Way questline. Shannon provides a defense buff, attack buff, and glancing hit debuff, which help with team survivability.

Bernard (Wind Griffin): Farmable from Tamor Desert. Bernard offers a speed buff and attack bar boost, allowing your team to take more turns.

Darion (Light Vagabond): Farmable through a Light Secret Dungeon (Hall of Light open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). Darion offers passive damage reduction for the team, or you can use another support monster you may have.

Another suggested early GB10 team includes Naomi, who can be obtained early in the game, along with Shannon and Lynn. Kro (2A Fire Inugami) is also mentioned as an optimal early game damage dealer, and he can be runed with Fatal/Blade runes. While a Wind Homunculus with max HP damage traits might be effective for Giants, it may take some time to build. The goal with your initial GB10 team is to achieve a 100% success rate, even if the clear times are slower in the beginning.

Once you’ve developed a consistent GB10 team and acquired some decent runes, shift your focus to building a team for Dragon’s Lair B12 (DB12) to farm Violent runes. A typical early DB12 team utilizes some of the same units from your GB10 team:

Verdehile (Fire Vampire): Obtainable through fusion, Verdehile’s passive ability to boost the team’s attack bar on critical hits is invaluable for faster, more consistent Dragon runs.

Veromos: Still useful for his leader skill and potential to apply damage over time (DoT) effects.

Belladeon: Continues to provide defense break and healing.

Loren (Light Cowgirl): Farmable through a Light Secret Dungeon. Loren’s first skill applies defense break and attack bar reduction, while her second skill strips beneficial effects.

Spectra (Fire Griffin, 2A): Second awakening is prioritized early due to its usefulness in ToA/H and consistent fast DB12 teams. Spectra’s second skill deals damage based on the enemy’s max HP, making it an effective damage dealer for Dragon.

An alternative early DB12 team could include Sigmarus (Water Phoenix) as the leader (obtainable through fusion), along with Veromos, Belladeon, Megan, and another support or damage dealer like Konamiya or Theomars. Initially, focus on killing the towers in Dragon’s Lair before attacking the boss for a safer clear, but with sufficient runes from GB10, a “face” team that directly attacks the Dragon will be more efficient.

Many of the monsters you build for GB10 and DB12 will also be useful for the Tower of Ascension (ToA) Normal (ToAN). A strong early ToAN team often incorporates crowd control, damage over time effects, and sustain:

Veromos: His ability to stun and cleanse debuffs is very helpful in ToA.

Loren: Provides attack bar reduction and defense break.

Fran (Light Fairy Queen): Obtainable through Summoner’s Way or the Ancient Coin Shop, Fran offers healing, immunity, and an attack buff.

Spectra (2A): Deals significant damage based on the boss’s HP and provides crowd control.

Verdehile: His attack bar boost helps your team take more turns, which is essential for controlling the enemy.

Another suggested ToA team includes Baretta (Fire Sylph) (fusion monster), Spectra, Mav, and Belladeon. Dot teams utilizing monsters like 2A Sath (Fire Grim Reaper), 2A Tatu (Fire Pixie), and Melia (Wind Dryad), with Fran as the leader, can also be effective for clearing ToA stages.

In the early game, your arena offense team will likely consist of your best-leveled and runed monsters. Aim to finish Rank 1 in the Novice league for glory points and experiment with different combinations of your core GB10 or DB12 units. Having a monster with strong single-target damage, like a well-runed damage dealer, paired with support units like Bernard for speed buff and Belladeon for defense break, is a solid starting point. Set a one-monster defense during the week and participate in “revenge loops” to maximize glory point gain.

While Rift Beasts offer valuable grinds and gems, it is not recommended to focus on them early unless you can achieve at least an A+ rank consistently, as lower-level rewards are not as valuable. Once your rune quality improves, you can start building specific teams for each Rift Beast. Early units that might find a place in these teams include Fran, Belladeon, Kro (2A), and potentially units like Astar.

Key early game monsters to focus on include Veromos, Belladeon, Shannon, Bernard, Loren, Fran, Spectra, and Kro (2A), as these will form the core of your initial teams. Be sure to use the free rune removal during your first month to experiment with different rune builds on these units. By building these foundational teams, you’ll be well-equipped to tackle core PvE content and progress efficiently through Summoners War: Sky Arena.

Understanding and Acquiring Runes

Runes are essential to progressing in Summoners War, as they provide significant stat boosts and powerful set bonuses that can greatly enhance a monster’s combat abilities. Even the weakest monster can become formidable with the right runes. Each monster can equip up to six unique runes, and the type of rune a monster equips is critical for maximizing its potential in various game modes.

Each rune slot has a predetermined main stat, with some variability in slots 2, 4, and 6. Slot 1 always features Attack (ATK), slot 3 is always Defense (DEF), and slot 5 is always Hit Points (HP).

For slots 2, 4, and 6, the main stats can vary. Slot 2 can have ATK, ATK%, DEF, DEF%, HP, HP%, or Speed (Spd).

Slot 4 can feature ATK, ATK%, DEF, DEF%, HP, HP%, Critical Rate (Crit Rate%), or Critical Damage (Crit Dmg%). Slot 6 can have ATK, ATK%, DEF, DEF%, HP, HP%, Resistance%, or Accuracy%.

In most cases, it is better to prioritize percentage-based main stats (ATK%, DEF%, HP%) as they scale better with level-ups. The exception to this rule is Slot 2, where Speed is often the top priority. Flat stat main runes on slots 2, 4, and 6 are generally less desirable for the long term.

Equipping specific combinations of runes grants your monster powerful set bonuses. Some sets require four runes, while others require only two. Here are some important rune sets to focus on early in the game:

Fatal (4 Runes): +35% Attack Power

Blade (2 Runes): +12% Critical Rate

Swift (4 Runes): +25% Speed – very useful for early game support units.

Despair (4 Runes): 25% chance to stun the enemy on attack – useful for crowd control.

Energy (2 Runes): +15% HP

Guard (2 Runes): +15% Defense

Focus (2 Runes): +20% Accuracy

In the early game, don’t worry too much about having complete sets. Instead, prioritize equipping runes with the correct main stats that benefit your monsters. Having good stats often outweighs having full rune sets at this stage of the game.

You will acquire runes from several sources as a beginner. Scenario rewards will provide your first sets of runes, including the Charuka Ruins Runeset. Additionally, completing the Summoner’s Way quests will grant more runes to help you progress through early content. The Cairos Dungeon, which you unlock early in the game, is a primary source for higher-quality runes. Giant’s Keep (GB10/12) should be your top priority for rune farming early on, as it drops Swift, Despair, Energy, Guard, Focus, and Endure runes, all of which are universally useful. Dragon’s Lair (DB10/12) is where you can farm Violent runes, which are highly sought after.

Necropolis (NB10/12) is a dungeon that drops runes like Rage, Vampire, Will, Nemesis, Shield, and Destroy, which are more suited to PvP, though this dungeon is generally considered optional until later in the game. Regularly check the Magic Shop for rune offers, as it refreshes every hour and can provide valuable runes for mana stones. Participating in in-game events can also reward you with runes, and beginner events can give you useful units and runes to help you get started.

Runes have a star rating (1-6), which indicates their base stats and potential for upgrades. Higher-star runes, particularly 6-star runes, are the most desirable in the long term. Runes also have a rarity level represented by their color:

White (Common): 0 sub-stats initially

Green (Magic): 1 sub-stat initially

Blue (Rare): 2 sub-stats initially

Purple (Hero): 3 sub-stats initially

Orange/Yellow (Legendary): 4 sub-stats initially

When you power up a rune to +3, +6, +9, or +12, it may gain a new sub-stat or enhance an existing one. Legendary runes have the highest potential for good sub-stat rolls, making them highly desirable.

As a beginner, don’t worry too much about getting perfect runes, especially 5-star runes, until you can consistently farm GB10. Focus on equipping your monsters with runes that have the correct main stats, even if the sub-stats aren’t ideal. You can replace them later as you acquire better runes.

It is highly beneficial to upgrade your initial runes to at least +6, as this will reveal their sub-stats, which can significantly improve your monsters’ performance. Upgrading slot 2, 4, and 6 runes to +15 is a good strategy for long-term progress, as the stat increases at these levels are significant. For slots 1, 3, and 5, upgrading to +12 is often sufficient in the early to mid-game. Save your mana stones for upgrading 5 and 6-star runes that you plan to use for the long term.

If the rune system feels overwhelming, take advantage of the auto-equip and rune management features. Additionally, rune removal is free for new players during the first month, so don’t hesitate to experiment with different builds. As you progress and farm more high-quality runes, you will become better at identifying which runes to keep and which to sell.

Key Dungeons and Content to Focus On Early

To maximize your progression early in Summoners War, focus on completing key content and optimizing your resources.

Start by completing the Scenario on Normal mode as quickly as possible. This will unlock significant additional content and provide initial rewards. The game gives a free Magic Knight, Lapis, who is particularly useful for farming experience in Faimon. Utilize friend-recommended monsters to help clear difficult stages.

Make it a priority to complete all tasks in the Summoner’s Way questline. The rewards you gain from Summoner’s Way are crucial for your early progression, and it will guide you through important aspects of the game while providing valuable rewards, including units and runes.

Join a guild as soon as you can, even if it’s not a high-ranking one. Guild buffs and free guild points will aid your progression. Participate in daily guild content, such as the Labyrinth, to earn additional guild points and gems, helping you grow your team.

Farm the essential Secret Dungeons (SDs) as they become available. Focus on collecting units like Loren (Light Cowgirl), Kro (Dark Inugami), Belladeon (Light Inugami), Kumae (Dark Yeti), and Janssen (Dark Viking). These units are vital for early progression. Belladeon, a versatile healer and debuffer, is particularly useful and can be acquired from the Hall of Light on Sundays or through Secret Dungeons. Loren offers a unique combination of defense break and attack bar reduction, while Kro provides consistent damage. Always keep copies of Inugami and Griffon for skill-ups.

The Cairos Dungeon is a critical area to focus on as soon as possible. Building a team capable of clearing Giant’s Keep B10 (GB10) early will be crucial. GB10 drops universally useful runes such as Swift and Despair, which are essential for building your initial teams.

A safe beginner team for GB10 includes Veromos (Leader), Belladeon, Bernard, Shannon, and Darion. Shannon, who provides attack and defense buffs as well as a slow debuff, is a key unit for early stability in GB10 and can be obtained through Summoner’s Way or Unknown Scrolls. Early runes from the Scenario and Summoner’s Way will assist in clearing GB10. Prioritize a high success rate when farming GB10 to maximize rune acquisition rather than focusing on speed.

Clearing Tower of Ascension Normal (ToaN) 100 should be a priority. Your GB10 team can likely be adapted to clear the initial stages of ToaN. ToaN is an excellent resource for farming additional materials and units.

Use your arena wings regularly and ensure they don’t reach the cap. Aim to finish Rank 1 in the Novice league each week to earn 300 glory points. Set up a defensive team that encourages “revenge loops” for more glory points. In the Glory Shop, always prioritize buying Devilmons each week, as they are crucial for skilling up your key monsters. After purchasing Devilmons, consider acquiring Mystical Scrolls and Light and Dark Scrolls. Also, upgrade your Glory Towers, focusing on the Sanctum of Energy (max energy), Mysterious Plant (energy refill rate), and Speed, as these upgrades provide permanent account-wide benefits.

Fusion plays an important role in early progression. Fuse essential units like Veromos, Verdehile, Mellia, and Balegyr as part of the fusion questline. Veromos (Dark Ifrit) is an important fusion monster that is essential for both Giants and Dragons. Verdehile (Fire Vampire) is also key for Dragon’s Lair teams and provides a valuable speed leader skill. You’ll acquire fusion pieces through the game’s new player event.

Understanding rune slots, main stats, and basic rune sets like Swift, Despair, and Fatal is important. Equip your monsters with the best runes available, prioritizing correct main stats over completing sets. Upgrade your initial runes to at least +6 to unlock their sub-stats. Focus on upgrading slot 2 (Speed, % stats), 4 (% stats, Crit Rate/Dmg), and 6 (% stats) runes to +15 if they have good main stats. Don’t worry too much about perfect runes until you can consistently farm GB10.

By focusing on these key areas in the early stages of Summoners War, you will build a solid foundation for advancing through the game and tackling more challenging content.

Resource Management

Efficient resource management is crucial for success in Summoners War, whether you’re playing for free or spending money. Understanding how to acquire and utilize your resources wisely can significantly accelerate your progression in the game.

Energy is needed to enter dungeons and scenario stages, so always try to use your energy effectively and avoid letting it cap out. You can increase your maximum energy and its regeneration rate by upgrading the Sanctum of Energy and Mysterious Plant buildings in the Glory Shop. It’s highly recommended to max these buildings early on. Completing daily missions that reward energy is another way to make the most of your resources. If you’re actively farming dungeons like Giant’s Keep, using crystals to refill energy can be a good option, but be mindful of your crystal usage, especially as a free-to-play player. Additionally, joining a guild that clears Tartarus’ Labyrinth early can grant periods of free energy usage.

Arena wings are another valuable resource. Always use your arena wings and avoid letting them reach the 10/10 cap. To maximize your glory points, prioritize finishing Rank 1 in the Novice league each week for 300 points. During weekdays, set a 1-monster defense to encourage revenge battles, which help you earn more glory points. Glory points can be spent in the Glory Shop, with your top priority being the weekly purchase of Devilmons, which are used to skill up your monsters. After the Devilmon, consider buying Mystical Scrolls and Light and Dark Scrolls. Invest in upgrading your Glory Towers, focusing on the Sanctum of Energy, Mysterious Plant, and then Speed.

Mana Stones are the primary in-game currency used for various upgrades, including powering up runes and purchasing items from the Magic Shop. You can earn mana stones from completing dungeons, selling runes, and other in-game activities. Regularly check the Magic Shop as it refreshes hourly and can offer valuable runes, scrolls, and other items. Participating in Monster Subjugation weekly will also reward you with mana crystals. Don’t forget to collect mana from your mana buildings on your island.

Crystals, while a premium currency, can also be obtained for free through achievements, daily missions, events, Arena, Guild Battles, and the Dimensional Rift. Early on, it’s generally recommended to use crystals for energy refills to maximize farming efficiency, especially in Giant’s Keep. Consider using crystals to refresh the Magic Shop if you’re looking for specific items, but be cautious about spending them on premium summoning packs, as consistent dungeon farming and building a solid core team are more crucial at this stage. Collect your daily free crystals from the Dimensional Rift, and you can also get 25 crystals daily from the Limited Shop in the Glory Shop.

Devilmons, Rainbowmon, and Angelmon are essential resources. Devilmons are used to skill up your monsters and significantly improve their effectiveness. Always prioritize purchasing the weekly Devilmon from the Glory Shop, as they are invaluable for progressing your key monsters. Rainbowmon are used to evolve monsters and increase their star rating, which is essential for improving your core team members. You can obtain Rainbowmon through Summoner’s Way, events, and other in-game activities, and it’s a good idea to store them in a dedicated space. Angelmon are used to level up monsters quickly and can be obtained through events or the Angel Garden dungeon. They’re especially useful for getting monsters to max level before evolving them.

Summoning Scrolls and Monster Pieces are crucial for acquiring new monsters. Unknown Scrolls are commonly used to summon 1-3 star monsters, primarily used as fodder for evolving other monsters. You can acquire them from battles, daily missions, and the Magic Shop. Mystical Scrolls, Light and Dark Scrolls, and Legendary Scrolls are rarer and summon higher-rarity monsters.

Save these for summoning events or when you have a specific need for new units. Monster Pieces are collected to summon specific monsters, often through Secret Dungeons or the Guild Shop. Be sure to use your Monster Pieces before they expire. If you have the mana, always buy four-star monster pieces from the Guild Shop, as many of these monsters are useful. Secret Dungeons are a good source of essential early-game units like Loren, Kro, and Belladeon, so farm them diligently.

Grindstones and Enchanted Gems are advanced resources obtained primarily from Rift Raid Level 5 (R5). Grindstones enhance the base stats of your runes, while Enchanted Gems allow you to replace a sub-stat on a rune. These are useful later in the game once you have a stable rune farming team in Giants and Dragons, as they help further optimize your rune quality.

By carefully managing these resources and prioritizing their use according to your current progression goals, you can improve your efficiency and make faster progress in Summoners War. Resource management is a key aspect of the game, and mastering it will help you build a stronger team and tackle more challenging content.

Daily and Weekly Activities

In Summoners War, consistent daily and weekly activities are key to efficient progression. For daily tasks, prioritize completing all objectives in the Summoner’s Way questline, as these rewards are essential for early progression. Make sure to use all your Arena wings each day and aim to finish Rank 1 in the Novice league for 300 glory points.

To maximize glory points, set a 1-monster defense during weekdays to encourage revenge battles. Don’t forget to check in daily through the community tab and send friend requests. Complete your daily dungeon missions, and if you’ve unlocked World Boss, participate in your attempts. Additionally, collect your daily free crystals from the Dimensional Rift, which can be found in the world map or main island recharge menu.

Aim for 100 Mission points daily to earn Transcendence pieces, focusing on missions that reward energy and runes. Check the Limited Shop within the Glory Shop for your special gift of 25 crystals, and participate in the Labyrinth to earn guild points, gems, and grinds. In the Guild Rival Battle, hit a green tower, and check your energy extractor on your island to collect energy.

The Magic Shop refreshes daily, so be sure to check for good deals on runes, scrolls, and monster pieces. Visit the Guild Shop for valuable items, especially four-star monster pieces if you have the mana. Don’t forget to perform your daily wish and collect any experience, mana, and crystals from your island buildings. Finally, always check the event page for daily rewards and ongoing events.

For weekly activities, prioritize purchasing the Devilmon from the Glory Shop as your top priority, followed by Mystical Scrolls and Light and Dark Scrolls. If you’re active in World Arena, remember to collect your scrolls from the shop, as they reset weekly, with Legendary and Light/Dark Scrolls resetting monthly. Participate in World Guild Battles, which occur twice a week, and Siege Battles, which are typically held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Engage in Monster Subjugation, which resets weekly, usually on Mondays and Tuesdays. In your Crafting Building, focus on crafting three Reaps and Ancient Reap Stones each week from the Special Tab.

Additionally, craft the weekly Legendary Summoning Pieces and Light and Dark Summoning Pieces once you are able. If you have a surplus of Elemental Rift Crystals, consider crafting the Legendary Magic Box twice a week. Be aware of Arena Rush at the end of the week when players push their ranks. For monster development, use Devilmon and duplicate monsters to skill up key units. Prioritize skill-ups for monsters like Spectra and Kro, followed by Belladeon. Lastly, buy Rainbowmons and Devilmons from the shops each week to assist with evolving and skill-upping your monsters.

By consistently completing these daily and weekly activities, you will steadily accumulate resources, improve your monsters, and progress through various stages of Summoners War, making continuous improvements to your team and overall gameplay efficiency.

Joining a Guild

Joining a guild early in Summoners War is a crucial step for accelerating your progression. Regardless of the guild’s rank, you’ll benefit from guild buffs that enhance your gameplay. You’ll also earn free guild points simply by being a member, which can be spent in the guild shop for valuable resources. Participation in guild activities like guild battles, siege battles, and Tartarus’ Labyrinth will not only help your guild but also provide important rewards.

Guild battles, occurring twice a week, allow you to contribute to your guild’s success and earn guild points. Siege battles, another twice-weekly event, are an essential activity that provides guild points and crystals. Tartarus’ Labyrinth, even at its easier levels, offers valuable rewards and bonus guild points when you complete all five lanterns each day. If your guild achieves Triple S or Double S rank in the Labyrinth, you’ll enjoy additional rewards and the chance to attack without using energy for a period, making your participation even more efficient.

The guild shop is an important resource, as it allows you to use your guild points to purchase special monster pieces, scroll pieces, super angelmons, rainbowmons, and even a five-star rainbowmon per week. This five-star rainbowmon is particularly valuable for improving the star level of your monsters and speeding up the process of creating six-star monsters. If you have enough mana, you should also prioritize purchasing four-star monster pieces from the guild shop, as they are often needed for evolving and upgrading your monsters.

Additionally, being part of a guild allows you to benefit from the support of other members. You can ask guildmates to open Secret Dungeons for you, increasing your chances of obtaining essential monsters like Loren (Light Cowgirl), Kro (Dark Inugami), and Belladeon (Light Inugami). Guildmates often have more resources and will be happy to help, making it easier to progress in the game. Guild wars also provide pieces needed to summon Ifrits, with Amir (Wind Ifrit) being particularly useful for Giants B10 and as a fodder farmer early in the game.

When looking for a guild, don’t stress about joining a high-rank guild initially. Focus on finding an active guild that provides the necessary buffs and guild points. Newer players should seek guilds that accept them and allow for participation in activities that help with progression. As you advance in the game and reach levels 70 or 80, consider joining a guild that regularly achieves Triple S or Double S ranks in Tartarus’ Labyrinth to earn better rewards.

In summary, joining a guild in Summoners War provides numerous benefits, including buffs, access to valuable resources in the guild shop, participation in rewarding activities, and assistance from fellow guild members. It is an essential part of efficient progression, helping you level up and progress through the game faster.

General Beginner Tips and Tricks

In Summoners War, establishing a strong foundation early on is key to progressing efficiently through the game. One of the first steps for new players is to focus on completing the Summoner’s Way Quests. These quests are designed to help you get started and provide crucial rewards that will set you up for success. As you progress through the game, you’ll find that the starting monsters are actually quite useful, especially the Water Magic Knight (Lapis), which can serve as a great experience farmer. Don’t underestimate two-star monsters, as many have useful skills that can support your team throughout the game.

Joining a guild early is another important step. It gives you access to beneficial guild buffs, free guild points, and a variety of guild activities like guild battles, siege battles, and Tartarus’ Labyrinth, which provide valuable rewards. The guild shop also offers essential items, such as rainbowmon and special monster pieces, which are vital for progressing your monsters.

When you are ready to move on to more advanced content, prioritize farming Giants Keep B10 (GB10) for runes. Having a reliable team that can consistently clear this dungeon is essential for progressing in the game. Fuse Veromos as soon as possible, as he is an incredibly useful monster for your GB10 team and other areas of the game, especially with his cleansing abilities. In the early game, it’s best to stick to cookie-cutter teams for dungeons like Giants Keep, Dragon’s Lair, and Trial of Ascension. These tried and tested teams will give you a good understanding of how to build effective strategies before you start experimenting on your own.

Crystals should be used wisely in the early game. Avoid spending them on summons or packs and instead use them for energy refills, which will allow you to farm more efficiently. As you progress, it’s important to manage your resources carefully. Keep duplicates of monsters like Inugami and Griffon for skill-ups and prioritize purchasing Devilmon and Rainbowmon from the Glory Shop each week. These are essential for powering up your key monsters. Be cautious when feeding monsters to avoid accidentally sacrificing valuable ones.

Arena Wings should always be used, and you should aim for Rank 1 in the Novice league each week to earn glory points. Setting a single-monster defense during the weekdays can help encourage revenge battles and earn more points. As soon as your GB10 team is stable, start working on progressing in the Tower of Ascension (ToA), which resets monthly and offers valuable rewards, including Devilmon and scrolls.

If you’re not yet able to clear the higher floors of the Cairos Dungeons, focus on farming lower floors like GB6-8 until your monsters are strong enough to tackle the higher levels. Skill-ups are crucial for improving your monsters, so use duplicates whenever possible to fully skill up your key units. Additionally, pay attention to runes. They are essential for boosting your monsters’ power. In the early game, focus on upgrading the 6-star runes you receive from scenarios and Summoner’s Way and prioritize percentage-based main stats for slots 2, 4, and 6, especially Speed for slot 2.

Don’t forget to link your account to avoid losing your progress, and be mindful of monster skills. Skills like defense break, attack bar manipulation, and healing are just as important as damage-dealing abilities, so make sure to understand their importance. Actively collect monster pieces from various sources, as they will help you unlock powerful monsters.

Regularly check the Magic Shop for good deals on runes, scrolls, and monster pieces. Also, adding strong Farming Representatives as friends can help you progress faster, as their powerful monsters will assist you in clearing scenario stages. Understand the elemental attribute advantages (Water, Fire, Wind, Light, Dark) and use this knowledge in battles to gain the upper hand.

Lastly, take your time and avoid rushing. If you try to progress too quickly without proper preparation, you may find yourself with under-leveled monsters or inadequate runes, which can halt your progress. Stay updated with the game’s patch notes and new content to make sure you’re always prepared for changes.

By following these beginner tips, you’ll establish a solid foundation and set yourself up for steady, efficient progression in Summoners War.

Conclusion

In conclusion, starting your journey in Summoners War may seem overwhelming, but by focusing on a few key principles, you can make efficient progress and lay a strong foundation. Prioritizing the Summoner’s Way quests early on is crucial, as it provides a structured path and valuable rewards to help kickstart your account. Be sure to complete all tasks in this questline before moving on to maximize your rewards.

One of your main goals should be to build a reliable team capable of consistently farming Giants Keep B10 (GB10), as runes are essential for success in all aspects of the game. Fusing Veromos early on is a recommended strategy, as he provides team stability. Use accessible monsters like Shannon, Bernard, and Belladeon to form a solid GB10 team.

Resource management plays a key role throughout your journey. Use your crystals wisely by prioritizing energy refills to increase farming efficiency rather than spending them on summons or packs in the early game. Keep valuable monsters like Rainbowmon and Angelmon for skill-ups and monster evolution. Remember to buy Devilmon and Rainbowmon weekly, especially from the Glory Shop, to enhance your monsters.

Engage with various in-game content, such as Arena, by using your wings daily to earn Glory Points. Once your GB10 team is stable, aim to progress in the Tower of Ascension (ToA) each month for valuable rewards.

Additionally, the Summoners War community is a valuable resource. Participating in online forums and platforms can provide helpful insights, strategies, and tips for each stage of your journey. Learning from others’ experiences can accelerate your progress and enhance your understanding of the game.

Lastly, patience and persistence are key. Summoners War rewards consistent effort over time. Focus on steady progression, make use of available resources, and enjoy the adventure in the Sky Arena.
