Summoners War – Arena Defense Tips

How to Build an Arena Defense

The following is a generic template for building an arena defense that’s applicable anywhere from conqueror to G3. The listed monsters are just examples, there’s certainly other viable options that are not mentioned.

• Speed Lead: Vanessa, Psamathe, Clara, Halphas, Moore
• AoE Stripper: Triton, Clara, Nora, Juno, Zen, Byungchul, Amduat
• Bruiser: Camilla, Savannah, Byungchul, Perna, Rakan
• Support: Abellio, Triana, Manon, or simply another bruiser from the category above

If you don’t have any of these premium options, common f2p siege def monsters can be used as well: Vigor, Eshir, Cichlid, Chilling, Iunu, Tesa, etc. Example complete f2p def would be Clara Vigor Triana Tesa.

Note that working on any sort of PvP is useless until you’ve completed finished PvE. If you are just trying to get to 1300 arena points for the Summoners Way mission, read info below:

• To complete the mission from Summoner’s Way that requires you to get 1300 points in arena, you simply have to regularly use your arena wings. You get a new arena wing every 30 minutes, and overall arena activity at this level is low enough that you should be able to outpace the losses from getting hit no matter how bad your defense is. If you can get close (for example, ~1250 points), it’s worth spending 30 crystals for an arena wing refresh to finish this mission.
• It is absolutely not worth it to build any arena offense team for this. No matter what monsters you have it will not be successful since you do not have any runes for them. You just need to hunt for easy defenses to beat using whatever PvE monsters you have, such as Fran Loren Vero Lapis. It is normal that you can only hit 1 or 2 defs out of the 10 defs you see from each list. You can refresh the arena list every 2 minutes, and you can even manually close/restart the game to “instantly” refresh this list at no cost.
• It is absolutely not worth it to build any arena defense for this. If you want you can also use random PvE monsters for a defense but personally I find it easier to use a defense of an unruned level 1 slime. This lets you “trade” easy attacks with other players with similar easy defs via revenges.

When you are just starting to work on arena and aiming for conq ranks, you should be focusing 95% of your efforts on AO. You climb by improving your offense and being able to beat more defs, consistently, and faster. AD is mostly a deterrent to discourage players from hitting you in the first place, there’s very little you can do to get def wins. And even then, people will always attack you no matter what. Your only option to get a higher rank is to win on offense faster than people attack your defense.

I hope you found this useful!
