Balance patches for Summoners War: Sky Arena are perhaps one of the most exciting times! The entire community was excited as the new balance patch is scheduled to bring about changes in terms of buffs/nerfs/ bug fixed to different monsters skills. With a hefty amount of 1000+ collectible monsters and new one’s being added every month, a balance patch is quite mandatory to keep the power creep in check. Summoners War: Sky Arena is available to be downloaded and installed on both the Google Play Store and iOS App Store.

Akin to previous balance patches, the community response has been tremendous regarding the balance changes made to meta monsters such as Light Mermaid, Dark Desert Queen, Water Ezio, and more. Keep in mind that this is a pre-patch notice and these balance changes will likely be implemented with the next official update. Let’s see the monsters who are getting nerfed, buffed, or bug fixed.
