Summoners War: Sky Arena – Monster Skill Balancing Update
The roster of available monsters to play in Summoners War: Sky Arena is growing rapidly and is currently over 1000+ monsters strong. With such a huge pool of monsters, there’s bound to be some balance issues where some monsters are overperforming others even if they are in the same rarity bracket. For example, a 5-Star Teshar is more suited for PvE content in Summoners War: Sky Arena while a 5-Star Seara is more suited for PvP content in Summoners War: Sky Arena. Both can be used in all roles but are more preferred in those areas. In a game where PvP is heavily focused, we need some monster skill balancing. This patch is going to deliver exactly that.
This is a pre-patch notice and will likely come with the next patch update. This update completely focuses on monster skill balancing which includes nerfing, buffing, and bug fixing some monsters. This is great for the overall health of the game as well as the PvP aspect of Summoners War: Sky Arena. Let’s see the monsters who are getting nerfed, buffed, or bug fixed.
