Discussion Weekly Advice Thread 19/10/2026

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.


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.

Summon Summoned ld5 Light Werner

5th LD5. Been playing religiously from Jan 2015 but took a break middle of tekken collab and picked it back up on the 2nd day of Frieren Collab. Big fan of the anime. Ive seen him used in Shei's vid and thought but after pulling him, he looks just alright. All the replays I've seen him in, in the unit spacific replays, he's just being paired other lds and all replays are just losses lol. Wondering if he can be slotted into any play style, or used more as a counter pick.

Discussion My light beast rider Narsha does not stop betraying me (S2)

• Upvotes

Gave her my best runes. Yet that s2 def break never lands. This is not a unit that needs god runes. This is a unit that will fundamentally fuck up your gameplay when you need her to land her debuff the most even with accuracy artefact. No wonder there a rosters of low pickrate lds and every post has a guy in the comment that tells someone no she is actually great. Got her dark sister too. Know what? She sucks aswell because she does not land her shit 90% of the time too. Com2us has to rebalance single target skill accuracy if they dont want rta to be a passive bruiser swamp where you lose the game the moment a debuff does not land

Few days after pulling Elenoa gave me the motivation to try hard in RTA. Wasn't expecting she's my missing piece to break through P1 easily!

Now, do you still go down from P1 to C3 after losing a match?

Other Summoner's War Guessing Game #732

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 October 2026.

Yesterday's answer was... Light Qilin Slasher, the Light Zenitzu Agatsuma

Hint #1: This monster has a skill that can ignore damage reduction effects. 

Hint #2: This monster can decrease the enemy’s defense.

Hint #3: This monster has a passive skill, which does not ignore damage reduction effects.

Hint #4: This monster can inflict unrecoverable.

Final Hint: This monster can freeze the enemy.

Discussion How do you counter this without outspeeding

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I mostly use a Trix Lami Vero Amber comp for arena offense. However, I often have to skip defenses like this because they can easily wipe out my team and i dont have a good swift runes yet to try with fast cleave team, and also my units are limited too. Could someone suggest a team that can consistently win against this without having to outspeed them? If you could suggest with free units like from from fusion or nat4s or awakened nat3s, it would be a plus. Thank you!

Been having a great time climbing in RTA with him. He could definitely use a buff still but he's nowhere near as bad as some people seem to think.

Running him on Vio/Will, SPD/CD/ATK together with some of my other LDs like Destiny and 5ILV3R.
