Introduction to Summoners War

Summoners War: Sky Arena is a mobile turn-based strategy RPG developed by Com2uS. Players collect monsters, build teams, and conquer PvE and PvP content across a wide range of dungeons, scenarios, towers, and arenas. This section is dedicated to helping new players get from Day 1 to a stable Giants B10 auto team, setting the foundation for long-term progress.

📦 Day 1–3: Getting Settled on Summoner's Island

🌄 Tutorial and Early Game Goals

  • You begin with a few tutorial stages in Garen Forest. Follow these carefully.

  • You’ll receive a Water Fairy (Elucia) and Fire Hellhound (Sieq) early.

  • Focus on clearing the Scenario Map—your first big goal is completing all 13 areas on Normal difficulty.

📌 Monsters to Keep

  • Lapis (Magic Knight – Water): Given for free after beating Mt. Siz. Excellent early game farmer.

  • Bernard (Wind Griffon) – Drops in Tamor Desert. Great support for Giants and Arena.

  • Shannon (Wind Pixie) – Drops in Garen Forest. Excellent early game buffer.

  • Belladeon (Light Inugami) – Obtainable from Secret Dungeon (SD) on Light Day. Critical healer and strip support.

🔑 Priorities

  1. Clear Scenario on Normal difficulty.

  2. Evolve Lapis to 5★ as soon as possible.

  3. Farm useful 3★ monsters like Bernard and Shannon.

  4. Keep upgrading your runes as you go. Focus on 4★+ sets from drops.

🧙‍♂️ The First 6★ – Building Your First Carry

🎯 Who Should Be Your First 6★?

While Lapis is tempting due to ease of use, the recommended first 6★ is Sigmarus (Water Phoenix), a powerful fusion monster. However, if you want a quicker 6★:

  • Lapis: Easy to max skill, good AoE damage and lifesteal.

  • Veromos (Dark Ifrit): Great all-purpose cleanser and can also be fused.

⚔️ Lapis Build (Beginner Farming Set)

  • Rune Build: Fatal + Blade (ATK% / CRIT D% / ATK%)

  • Slot 2/4/6 focus on damage stats.

  • Farming Spots: Tamor Desert, Faimon Normal.

🏰 Fusion Hexagram – Building Key Units

💎 Veromos (Dark Ifrit – Fusion)

  • Passive cleanser, decent damage, stuns.

  • Core early game unit for PvE and PvP.

  • Fusion Requirements:

    • Kakun (Wind Yeti) – Garen Forest

    • Argen (Wind Vampire) – Faimon Volcano

    • Mikene (Water Undine) – Fusion

    • Kugo (Fire Succubus) – Mt. Runar

🔷 Sigmarus (Water Phoenix – Fusion)

  • High single-target damage, freezes, and AoE.

  • Core unit for Giants, Dragons, and Necro.

  • Fusion is more advanced, but well worth the effort.

🔁 Giant’s Keep – The First Farming Dungeon

📍 Why Farm Giants B10?

  • The best early game runes come from Giants Keep B10 (GB10).

  • You want Swift, Fatal, Energy, and Despair runes.

  • Farming GB10 will supercharge all your other content.

💡 Beginner GB10 Team (F2P)

  1. Veromos (Leader – HP%)

  2. Belladeon – Heals and strips buffs

  3. Shannon – Buffs your team with ATK/DEF up

  4. Bernard – Speed buffer and defense breaker

  5. Lapis/Sigmarus – Damage dealer

All of these monsters are farmable or fusion-based, making them ideal F2P choices.

🧪 Rune Basics – What to Look For

Key Stats

  • Speed: Always valuable, especially in support monsters.

  • HP% and DEF%: Crucial for survival.

  • ATK% and CRIT: Needed for your main nukers.

Don’t Make These Mistakes:

  • Don’t use +0 runes. Always power up to +9 or +12.

  • Avoid flat stats on slot 2/4/6.

  • Focus on 4★ or higher runes unless you’re brand new.

💥 Powering Up – Evolutions and Awakening

How to Evolve

  • Use 4 of the same ★ monsters to evolve a unit.

  • Use 3★ monsters to evolve your key 4★ units to 5★.

Awakening:

  • Use Essence from Hall of Elements to awaken your monsters.

  • Awakening grants new skills, stats, and appearance.

💡 Tip: Farm Hall of Magic and Elemental Halls every day to stockpile essence!

🧝‍♀️ Secret Dungeons and Events

Secret Dungeon Farming

  • Check the Cairos Dungeon → Secret Dungeon tab on Light/Dark days.

  • Add friends so you can enter their secret dungeons!

Belladeon Tips:

  • Belladeon appears on Light Day – check Community to find open SDs.

  • Make it a priority to unlock and max skill this unit.

🧭 Progression Roadmap

Milestone Checklist:

  • Clear Scenario Normal.

  • Obtain Lapis, Belladeon, Bernard, Shannon.

  • 5★ and awaken core team.

  • Complete Fusion for Veromos.

  • Start Giants B10 farming team.

  • Begin Rune Farming and upgrading key units.

🏆 Arena and World Arena (Starter Tier)

Beginner Arena Strategy

  • Focus on Speed + Cleave (fast buff and nuke strategy).

  • Example Team: Bernard → Shannon → Lapis → Sieq

Don’t Overinvest

  • Arena is secondary until you’ve got GB10 on farm.

  • Only climb enough to get Glory Points for Speed Tower Upgrades.

🧬 Resources and Daily Routine
