Summoners War General Leveling Guide
Welcome to the Summoners War leveling guide for beginners! I will be sharing with you a step by step guide to leveling all the way to 40. Here are some things we will be going over as well:
- What Monsters to Prioritize Leveling
- Best Places to Level Your Monsters + Farming Spots
| Leveling | Spending Crystals | Who to 5/6 Star |
|---|---|---|
| Top 10 Nat 4 Attackers | Top 10 Nat 2/3 Healers | Nat 4 Supports |
| Nat 4 Crowd Control | Revivers |
General Leveling
There are 2 types of levels. One is your summoner level while the other are your monster levels. We are talking about summoner levels here.
Now when you are just starting out in the game, you are given:
- Water Fairy – Elucia
- Wind Vagabond – Roid
- Fire Hellhound – Sieq
They are great starter monsters you will be using until you get the staple monsters. Just use these 3 and any new monsters you get to level.
1-20 Leveling
Now this part is all about trying to get one of your monsters to 5 stars and raising your summoner level. With the new update, you will get the water Magic Knight Lapis once you complete Mt. Siz normal. She is a natural 4 star monster that will be your farming monster from now on. She WILL BE your first 5 star candidate The old players didn’t have the luxury of having her when they are newbies. So new players should consider themselves lucky.
You also want to complete the scenario map for normals. You should be able to do that right around level 20 or so. Your top priority is to get Lapis to 5 stars. From my experiment, Lapis should be able to do Faimon normal at 4 stars with decent 3-4 star runes. She can also do Faimon hard with good runes at 5 stars.
Here are the rune sets I recommend for newbies to rune Lapis:
- Fatal/Blade(Spd/Crit R%/Atk%)
- Despair/Blade(Spd/Crit R%/Atk%)
Now the speed requirement to move first on the last stage in Faimon are as follows:
- Normal – 111
- Hard – 130
- Hell – 139
You can easily get 4 star runes doing Giants B4-B6.
Leveling from 21-40
Now once you have Lapis at 5 stars and with decent 4 star runes on slots 2/4/6, you are ready to level your way to 40 by doing Faimon. You should also start collecting monsters and building your Giants B10 team.
Your goal to 40 should look something like this:
- Monster fodder farming using Lapis – CHECK
- Farming the highest Giants level you can while leveling – CHECK
- Farming for the monsters for your Giants B10 – CHECK
When u say farm with this monster, u mean only with that monster? Or with that monster in a team?
You farm using that monster(Lapis) and you train 3 “food” monsters with her.
Does Lapis need to be 6 stars? Or is 5 stars possible too?
6 stars is preferred for hard mode. For faimon hell she needs to be 6 stars. At 5 stars you can do Faimon hard if your 6 star runes are maxed out on slots 2/4/6.
farming hard on 5 stars even with 2+4 5* maxed and 6 3* on +9 without any problems
Thanks but im dying 5/10 times on Faimon Hard with my Lapis..
My Stats are this:
9073 HP / 953 ATT / 612 Def / 102 SPD
My Runes are (1×2*) until 3-5 Stars. Am I doing something wrong?
Strange i completed scenario but i cant farm b7
You need much higher speed.
Since you put Veromos in the prioritized “farmable” monster, then I also recommend Sigmarus.
I mean, you recommended a tanky team for GB10 and DB10. So i think Sigma can lead the team instead and replace Darion for giant and replace Baretta for dragon.
Good idea. I will make the changes. Thanks Fedora! 😀
man, what about Ahman??? no healer for b10? really??
Bella is better. 🙂
bella will never make it. not for dragon, not with this team. and very likely not for Giant b10 also.
Yes it will. If you cannot, then your team isn’t well runed enough. I am not gonna argue with you on Bella vs Ahman. Ahman will work as well, I just prefer Bella.
I have belladeon on all my full auto b10 teams (attack priority set on the right column):
dragon b9 veromos, shannon, bernard, bella, chloe auto boss
giants b10 veromos, shannon, bernard, bella, lumi auto boss
magic b10 veromos, shannon, bernard, bella, orochi auto boss
light b10 eladriel, shannon, bernard, bella, veromos auto boss
dark b10 veromos, shannon, bernard, bella, lumi auto boss
fire b10 veromos, shannon, bernard, bella, lumi auto boss
water b10 veromos, shannon, bernard, bella, kona auto right tower, boss
wind b10 veromos, jun, bella, lumi, arnold auto left tower, right tower, boss
What rune builds and 2/4/6 do you run on these monsters?
Oh, you need 6 star runes. Just farm faimon normal for now. Work on your Giants B10 team.
Hey Nuno,
For Bernard, it honestly doesn’t matter where you farm or at what level. The drop rate should be the same, so I suggest to just do the easiest one for you while farming exp (usually the first lvl).
For these monster you have rune recommendation sets for beginners, are there other set for these monster that are better? and also you don’t a rune set for Veromos.
I just ran into your post and let me tell you I wish I had found it earlier. I have been playing for about 3 to 4 months and have a lot of monsters that i am not sure what to do with them first of all which ones to keep next how to understand how to use them. I don’t know if you can find me to see them but i am 2323 level 26 can you look at my monsters and help?
You also can add Fuco (lich) for aiden forest hell. It doesn’t need 6 star runes (enough swift set with 4-5 star 9+ level). But better runes can greatly speed up farming ))
I did level 1 forest over and over during the free hours of unlimited energy with Lich 4 start with all energy runes. WInd lich is a beast. Fuco will definitely be my first 6 star and awaken. Followed by Lapis.
Hi, what is better for farming Faimon Hell Lapis( Magic Knight ) or Malak ( Kobold Bomber ).
Also, for late game, who should i prioritise between those two monsters.
Ps: Sorry for my english and thanks ^^
Malaka for late game for GW and Arena. As for Faimon Hell, go with Malaka. Keep in mind you need very good 6 star runes regardless of who you choose.
Hey, if I have both Despair/Fatal runes, which is actually better with Lapis? (Newbie player here)
Whichever one gives better stats, but I would lean towards despair for the stuns.
Thanks!
i just read some of your tips and i wish i had them sooner. I got rid of my lapus and now i am lost as to which monsters to work on. I have a lot of monsters and don”t where to start, I am lvl 31 and i am scared to loose them cause if i make the wrong move i could be set back I was wondering if i gave you a list or anyone here willig to take a look at my list and say what i should be doing i got in to this game with my grandson and i have nooooooo! leadership to follow will someone please help thank you
Go to swfarm.com and show us your monster box there.
Just added my list, Draven559. Would love some help with what to keep/get rid of, thanks!
get a new email from gmail and start over unless you got a really good drop.
Where are u supposed to get those “good runes” if you can’t farm the places with good runes to beat b10 with.
You can get good runes from b6-b8 occasionally, plus the magic shop will also sell some 6 star 2/4/6 runes if you play often.
Sorry newbie here, but what do you mean by 2/4/6 runes?
http://summonerswar-forum.com/threads/rune-position-2-4-6-and-1-3-5.1029/
2/4/6 are the slot on the rune star. They have random stats like Speedand accuracy. Where as the 1/3/5 are flat HP/DEF stats
You list to level several light/darks as a priority. I have yet to see any light or dark as they only come from scrolls as far as I know and the scrolls cost the same as the 4/5 star scrolls.
btw thanks for the tips. I have several of the recommended at 4 star 25 already. I’m pretty sure I’ve been consuming the wind griffin though.
Ahh I looked back through other than Veremos which is gonna be impossible to get for a long while the other lights are listed as how to get. Thanks.
How about MEGAN? Shes basically Shannon + Bernard with her spell of strengthening.
I’m a returning player. used to have an Iphone, now use an android. I decided to start over with a new device, mostly because my account was attached to the apple ID XD. Anyways, I don’t appreciate the tone you take with new players getting “special treatment”. The community is pretty well settled, and that can make that hard for new players to catch up. Thus, they introduced a monster good for farming, but not much PVP potential. I remember how it used to be, and I’m grateful they added this so it won’t take me quite as long in the beginning to catch up.
Anyways, my IGN is hiskid123, and my OLD one was hiskid
Hey, I have both Lapis and Water Charger Shark, but the problem is which one farm faimon fastest? And which one should i 6 star it first?
I have Lapis unawakened 5* I have all 4* fatal blade runes do I need to switch them out or can it be done with what I have.. Thanks
i thought the wind yeti was good for healing?
dragons B6-B8 for runes?
Hi Kenny,
First thanks for all the wonderful information it is much appreciated.
There are actually 2 different types of leveling per monster the numerical and the skill levels that require from what I understand Devilmon’s and or same type monsters to level skills up. Is there another way ?
Thanks,
Marty
Do i have to rune my food monsters? if so, do i need it to be leveled up runes too? Having a hard time with faimon normal max 5 star lapis with 4 star +9 runes all over.
Hey, guys,
I am a college student at Michigan and I do like this game.
My friend and me made a program that can autoplay the game (without root) and it can also refill the energy for you.
It is VERY VERY USEFUL especially for Dungeon of Hero. I spend lots of money to refill the energy to continuously farm the pieces of 4-star Heros in the limited 72 hours, and I get almost 1500 pieces in the end.
