  • Fire: Paul Phoenix, Heihachi Mishima, Theodora, Xiong Fei, Bael, Triss, Vendhan, Ken, Itadori Yuji, Gojo Satoru, Inosuke Hashibira, Nezuko Kamado

Summoners War Monster Roles Explained

A strong Summoners War team always mixes monsters of different roles rather than stacking just one type. Here is what each role brings to the table.

  • Attack – These monsters specialize in dealing damage, whether single target or AoE. Build them with Attack, Crit Rate, and Crit Damage runes, and stick to 1 or 2 per team.
  • HP – HP based monsters carry large health pools and often deal damage scaled off their max HP, making them natural tanks and bruisers. Most teams run just one.
  • Support – Support monsters bring buffs, debuffs, healing, and crowd control that can swing a fight in your favor. Most teams run 1 or 2 depending on the content.
  • Defense – Monsters that scale off Defense make solid conditional tanks under the right build. They are less common but valuable in specific team comps.

How to Get Monsters in Summoners War?

New monsters mainly come from Summon Scrolls and Mystical Scrolls, earned through events, story progression, and login rewards, or purchased with crystals. Since Summoners War still runs without a pity system, pulling top tier monsters is genuinely a matter of luck.

Rift dungeons, Secret Dungeons, and Rune Farming also indirectly help by giving you the resources to power up whatever you do pull. Keeping an eye on collab events is worth it too, since crossover monsters featured on this SW tier list often join the roster through limited scrolls.

What is the Use of a Summoners War Tier List?

A tier list gives players a quick snapshot of where their roster stands against the wider meta. New summoners especially benefit since the monster pool feels massive and confusing at first glance.

Instead of guessing who deserves runes, this Summoners War monster tier list points toward units that consistently perform well across arena, guild wars, and dungeon content. Veteran players use it differently, checking rankings before deciding which new release is actually worth summoning for.

Is This Summoners War Tier List Regularly Updated?

Yes, this tier list gets refreshed on a regular basis. GoGachaGame tracks every balance change, new monster release, and shifting meta trend so readers always have access to accurate rankings rather than outdated information.

Our team cross checks community feedback alongside actual gameplay performance before making adjustments, which keeps this list reliable no matter when you happen to read it.

Summoners War Tier List Ranking Factors

Several factors go into where each monster lands on this ranking. Check out which factors we used while building this SW tier list:

  • Rarity plays a role since higher star monsters generally bring stronger base stats and abilities, but it is far from the only thing that matters.
  • Role matters too, since Attack and Support monsters tend to be in higher demand than pure tanks.
  • Team synergy is another major factor, monsters whose kits work well together or function strongly on their own tend to rank higher.
  • Finally, community feedback plays a real part in shaping this Summoners War tier list. Rankings posted by high level PvP players and guild leaders help confirm which monsters are genuinely carrying games right now.
