Summoners War by Com2US is one of the most loved and played turn-based RPGs in the mobile market. Combining elements of gacha and strategy games, it offers players a more versatile gameplay where your hard work and strategy triumphs over pay-to-win shenanigans. After you’ve summoned a handful of monsters, what’s left is to empower them! There are multiple ways to strengthen your monsters for better stats and unlocking new abilities. We will learn all about them in this guide. Let’s begin!

Levelling Guide for Summoners War

For those unaware, Summoners War features an intuitive levelling system wherein each monster can reach a certain level cap, depending on its current star rating. Each monster can be promoted from 1-Star to 6-Stars. The level cap also increases as you promote the monster. For example, a 3-Star monster can be maximum level 25. A 6-Star monster can be maximum Level 40. You will need to feed your monsters with experience (XP points) in order to increase their level. 

This experience can be earned from either battles or via feeding other monsters into them. The former is the recommended method but you can also use quirky little monsters called “Angelmons” to feed to monsters. Angelmons come in different elements, just like monsters. They are designed to give the specific element monster a ton of XP. A Super Angelmon is an upgraded version of Angelmon that can instantly take your monster to its max level potential, depending on their current star rating. 

Coming to the former, you can earn experience for monsters through different types of content. Check all the ways out:

• Scenario Battles – The fastest way to get XP for monsters is to farm the Faimon Volcano area on Hell difficulty. You can farm the 1st stage easily using a water elemental monster such as the free natural 4-Star magic knight (Lapis). Using a double XP booster is recommended to further enhance XP earned from each fight. Make use of repeat battles for an enhanced QOL. 

• Arena – Story missions take longer to obtain Experience Points than arena tasks. You battle other players’ monsters in these missions, and each battle only lasts a few minutes. Put otherwise, it takes a lot less time than finishing a story objective. You receive medals and XP points if you win the combat.
• Labyrinth – Make sure you are part of a Guild to take part in Labyrinth content. The experience points you earn from scenario and arena won’t be sufficient until you hit level 20. After this point, secret dungeon and labyrinth runs are the most effective ways to get experience points. All you have to do is eliminate the waves of foes that appear in the secret dungeons, which are only accessible for an hour. You can gain a significant amount of experience points with just one secret dungeon run.

Best Ways to Empower Monsters

Powering up monsters in Summoners War involves several methods to increase their stats, skills, and overall effectiveness in battles. Here are the main ways to power up your monsters:

• Evolution – Evolve your monsters to increase their star grade, which enhances their base stats significantly. This requires sacrificing other monsters of the same star level and specific materials.
• Skill-Ups – You can increase the level of your monsters’ abilities to empower their potency and/or reduce their cooldown. Skill-ups happen by either feeding Devilmons or by feeding duplicate monsters. The duplicate monster can be of any element but should be of the same type. For example, you can skill-up a water phoenix by feeding it a fire phoenix. 
• Awakening – Use Essences of Magic, Fire, Water, Wind, Light, or Darkness obtained from Cairos Dungeon to awaken your monsters. Awakening improves their stats, often changes their appearance, and unlocks new skills or enhances existing ones.

• Runes – Runes are very important to upgrade the stats of your monsters. Runes, much like monsters, come in different rarities and slots. Each monster can accommodate up to 6 runes. Runes have main stats and substats. They can be enhanced up to +15 to increase both main stats and substat values. 
• Artifacts – Artifacts provide additional stat boosts and unique effects. Each monster can equip two artifacts, one for their main attribute (e.g., Fire) and one for their role (e.g., Attack).
• Leader Skills – Choose monsters with leader skills that benefit the entire team, such as increased HP, attack power, or speed. Proper team composition and synergy also play a crucial role in maximizing your monsters’ potential in battle.
