Summoners War is an amazing new game released on the iOS platform by Com2us, challenging us to master the art of monster summoning, evolving and fighting against other monsters in an RPG style that borrows some mechanics for collectible card games. In other words, an epic game that you certainly enjoy, and one we’re going to talk about in our ultimate strategy guide, filled with Summoners War cheats and tips to help you get the most out of the game, both in the single player missions, as well as the arena.
So let’s not waste any time and let’s get this started with the first part of our Summoners War tips and strategy article!
1. Learn the powers of your monsters
Summoners War goes with a “Rock, paper, scissors” mechanic, meaning that one type of monster is strong against another, but weak against a third one. If you don’t want to remember elements, remember the colors and look at the arrows above the heads of the enemies: green is good, yellow is decent, red is bad. Regarding the colors of the monsters, this rule applies: Red is strong against yellow, yellow is strong against blue, and blue is strong against red. Always know what monsters are powerful against what monsters and use them accordingly.
2. Take out enemies one at a time
Attacking all the enemies on the field is not a good strategy. Instead, focus on taking them one at a time: a monster than is killed and does no damage is better than three monsters with 1 health left. Analyze the enemies and take them out one by one based on the monsters you have.
3. Use the special attacks ASAP
Usually, each monster has a special attack that needs a couple or a few turns to recharge. In order to maximize the use of these attacks, start your battles using them, so that they fill up until you get to a new monster and you have time to actually use them more than once or twice per stage.
4. Power-up your monsters
There is really no need to keep the one star monsters around since they are pretty useless, so instead use them to level up your three star or more monsters. It’s true that they will level up naturally through battle, but sometimes you just need to give them an extra push, so go to the Power-up circle and power-up the monsters. It’s a good idea to power-up those that you use most in battle, followed by new monsters that have to be powered up to catch up with the rest of the squad.
6. Take friends into battle!
Another great use for having friends is that you can take their leader monster into battle and get that extra monster power on your side. And since you will only take to battle those friends whose monsters have the biggest level, make sure to level up and set as the leader your monster with the highest level and best stats. This goes perfect with tip #5.
7. Complete the Daily missions
It’s pretty difficult to complete all the daily missions, but try to and you will get a ton of great rewards. Check out the challenges and take them out one at a time. This is your source for free blue and red crystals and a lot of other goodies!
8. How to level up your monsters quicker
An easy way to level up your monsters is to replay levels that you have already completed, but take the friends’ monster with you. This way, the total experience will be divided between less characters and therefore they will level up faster. Use this trick with all your friends’ monsters to quickly level up yours!
9. Play the Arena often & learn to choose your enemies
Playing in the Arena is something you should do as often as possible because there are great rewards waiting for you there, including tons of Crystals, based on the rank that you get. Learn to choose the easiest enemies (the ones with the fewest swords numbers) and keep on attacking. This way you will keep getting points and experience for your monsters. Plus, the higher your ranking at the end of the event, the better your rewards will be! Don’t forget to also check out the levels of the monsters you’ll be fighting against to know exactly if you can defeat the enemy!
10. Build all the Arena defenses available!
In order to increase your chances of successfully defending in the Arena, you should make sure that you buy all the defenses available based on your level. These little helpers can really turn the tides of a battle, and you want them all on your side!
