 Summoners War: Sky Arena launched on mobile devices about a month ago. Since it's release it's already had content updates that have released more monsters to collect and areas to clear. This game is very much like Brave Frontier, with better graphics, and a bit more fun IMO. The graphics are actually very impressive for a mobile device, and the best part is the graphics actually look good in combat, not just on a character card in the menus. At this point in time there are 528 different monsters in the game, and the number will go up as the game gets more content updates. I would like to add this game isn't super pay to win. Almost every monster in the game can be upgraded to the current max of 6*. CLICK FOR THE WIKI. It's a work in progress as the game just came out. Goon FRIEND list. USING ANY COLOR MONSTER OF THE SAME TYPE, REGARDLESS OF STARS, OR AWAKENING STATUS WILL SKILL UP A CREATURE!!!!! It keeps the element system other games have where you have three elements (fire, water, wind) that work in a circle with strengths and weaknesses to each other, and a light/ dark element system.  So, you might be asking what makes this game special compared to the others? It's a really good looking game for mobile devices.    And a few of some of the monsters you can obtain     Additionally, the rune system gives quite a bit of character customization. Each character has 6 rune slots of which they can equip any combination. The way it works is each category of runes provides a different effect. For example, a 4 set of fatal runes provides a +30% attack bonus, on top of each bonus that each rune provides.  Some tips for beginners: 1) http://forum.com2us.com/forum/main-forum/summoner-s-war/guides-and-tips-ac/53254-monster-rating-compilation-rune-build-included Here's a rough list of the quality of early monsters that you will likely obtain, although nearly everything has a role, you just need to figure out what you want to do and build around that. 2) Your tutorial fairy is actually a really good monster. Work on getting it to 4*, and probably awakened. The only exception is if you get a Water Epikon Priest, if you do, focus on her instead. 3) If you spend money, be wary of spending it on summons. This game isn't nice about giving out 4 and 5* monsters. It happens, but isn't often. There are videos on youtube of 30+ summons without a 4*. Money is better spent on xp boosts, refilling stamina to run dungeons more often. Etc. If you do spend money, don't be upset if you buy the 750 crystal pack and come away with 11 3* monsters, it happens. It happened to me. 4) Stockpile mana. You always want 110k on hand in case a mystical scroll shows up at your store. 5) Plow through the story line to unlock different stages which drop different runes. Each area drops a different type of rune. For example the first area Garen Forest only drops energy runes, which in a set of 2 gives a 15% HP boost. Now, each stage within that area drops a different rune slot. The outskirts drop runes for the first slot, the south drops runes for the second slot and so on. More info can be found on the wiki. I'll add more information when I get home from work, and if the thread grows in popularity. If you tried Brave Frontier or PAD, give this game a shot, it's pretty good. If anyone has any questions feel free ask and I'll try to help answer, although I've only been playing for like 4-5 days.

I've added both of you to friends. My vampire should help you guys get through some early content. Runes are going to be the biggest form of early power growth for your teams. If you get Energy runes for your fairy she'll get tanky quite quickly. Try to get HP or HP% for each slot that you can. The first slot will only be +atk, and the third slot can only be +defense, but you should be able to get HP on every other slot. Also, check the event tab, there's a new event that started today that is like a bingo card. When you complete dungeons you end up getting rewards. If you run the first area Garen Forest 30x, the reward is 100k Mana. The rewards are better for the other areas. Zotix fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Jul 11, 2014 |

DontMindMe posted:$5 for: Yeah, it's probably decent. The mana is a wash as you'll burn 10k using the mystical scroll. The Exp boost is nice, and will help with powering up your characters. The unknown scrolls are basically worthless as you'll be swamped in them. Is it worth it? Probably. If I were to spend money right now, I'd probably knock out a few dungeons and see what kind of limited time packs become available. Stay away from the event one with the Devilmons. I haven't looked closely at them but the rest of the stuff bundled doesn't come close to $50 in my mind. Some of the limited edition bundles are decent. I'd pick up the fairy awakening one if you don't get a better healer early. Any of the Epikon priests are better options than the Fairy. I personally have the Water Epikon priest, and everyone raves about it, but I hear the fire one people are finding out to be a bit better. They had some decent bundles that just ended yesterday, and I'm sure more bundles will be on their way shortly. DontMindMe posted:
Always log out and back in when you buy a bundle, most items will be put in the items chest on the left side.

DontMindMe posted:Zotix, were you referring to the intermediate pack worth $20? (Angelmons, fairy awakening materials, etc)? You could possibly purchase that, but you are right you could replace her at any moment. I personally bought an angelmon pack today for 30. You get 750 crystals, 100 energy, angelmons of the color of your choosing, and 50k mana. It's only available once a day and I'm pretty sure if you decline it, you can't see it again until the next day. Also, there seems to be a growing consensus that crystal summon is better than mystical summon. Yes you get more mystical summons for the same $ account, but people seem to be having better luck from crystal summon, myself included.

I've spent some money already on the game, and all of my good pulls have come from Crystal summon not mystical summon. On the Appinvasion forum as well as the subreddit for the game, most people say crystal summon is getting better results. Added a Goon chat channel to the OP. It's 9743.

I have a 4* Water E Priest, and she's amazing. Probably the go to healer right now for most people that can get ahold of one, but the fire priest version is gaining in popularity for arena defense.

DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON SUMMONS UNTIL THURSDAY AT THE EARLIEST. Right now the deal running is for 3 devilmons at an absurd rate of $50. You can see this on the left side. It's running for another 72ish hours. When this ends, a new deal will pop up. Hopefully this one is better. Also, I've read somewhere that Com2us knows that summon rates aren't working correctly right now, and are likely to adjust 4* and 5* drop rates. I did mention in the OP that summon rates are a bit low. Summon at your own risk right now.

Moonshine Rhyme posted:Yeah, I am getting crushed into the ground in pvp due to a lack of decent summons/sterotypical poo poo that I see most other people rolling with. Someone said something about Thursday, are they tweaking the values on summons? The weekly special on the left side will change, hopefully to a better package. They are possibly changing the summon rates at a future date, which we don't know when that is. Jibo posted:Yeah PVP is totally hosed. I need to start blowing all my mana on fancy runes I think because I keep getting rolled hard by teams I should be way better than. Don't worry about PvP rank right now. I'm purposefully tanking my rank so that I can fight easier people and get glory points. Screw PvP rank, worry about glory points. Tank your rank so that you can get good PvP glory bonuses.

The more I play the more I see stacking pure attack as a worthless build for nearly any character. Certain runes must be certain things, like slot 1 is always attack, slot 3 is always defense, and 5 is always HP. However, I haven't found a single point in the game where a pure offense attacker is worth a damned. Either against monsters, or against players. It honestly seems like stacking HP is overpowered for anything. There really doesn't seem to be much damage different between 450 attack, and 850. It's a little more damage, but not much. For getting that 400 attack, you can get 3-4k HP, which ends up being a fuckton more useful than 400 attack.

Reddit is trying to get some meaningful monster discussion going on lately. The game is so new, until a real guide is posted people will keep asking the same questions. Com2us should regulate the monster comments though and keep the trash out.

Make sure you are creating an account with the game, and aren't just playing tied to your device. I just was forced to log in again, and I bet that if I was playing on the device I might have lost my data. Also, 5* drop rates are loving garbage. That is all.
