Bad player need mentor

[half patio]

I've been playing for about 3 years on and off and I haven't got any amazing heroes compared to high level players that I'm against in goodwill battles so I rarely win in live battles. I need general help and tips for me to get a lot better at the game and I'd appreciate for someone to mentor me. 🙂

Scenarios: clear all of scenario on normal difficulty asap with friend/mentor reps, see ?farmer
Justdoit: work on getting/leveling/evolving these monsters in ?justdoit while clearing scenario to make your first GB12 team (Giants Keep floor 12)

• first and main rune farming dungeon during pve
  ToaN100: clear this with your gb12 team and a few other monsters mentioned in ?toa
  GB12: once u have things rolling can look at ?gb12 to start speeding up the team
• about time to look at making ?2ateam to 2nd awaken kro
  S+ Rank Water Rift: ?rift-water ability to farm and craft determination runes and get material for reappraisal stones (reapps)
  ToaH100: first time you really need to invest into toa, see ?toa
  Tricaru: ?tricaru this gives you the ability to farm NB12, DB12, and PC10, though DB12 does not need to be done at this time
  S+ Rank Fire Rift: ?rift-fire ability to farm and craft fight runes and get material for reappraisal stones (reapps)
  BJ5: ?bj5 the speed r5 team, you can farm NB12 for will runes, farm/craft fight runes from Fire Rift and have options of your bale being on fatal or Rage
• ?sf10 and pc10 can be done to help yr bale hit his minimum damage threshold
  Lumel b5: this will be one of two d-hole rune farming dungeons that you will farm
• the second rune farming dungeon is up to you, see bottom of ?dhole
• this also plays a part into which dimensional predator runes you will be picking from
  S+ Rank Rift Beasts: finish up getting S+ ranks in the other rift beasts, see ?rift-(x) , x being the element
  DB12: now is the time you can start thinking about farming dragons with ?tricaru and shifting focus from pve to pvp content. See `?siege-advice

alr that's pretty useful. But how do I know which monsters to level up? Cause I have a 6 star awakened water drunken master who is pretty good at damage and heals but not a very popular monster so idk whether I should continue with him.

[frail grotto]

if its not mentioned, it doesnt get used

Summoners War is a bit different from other monster collection games. Two quick things to understand:

First, higher rarity monsters are not always better than lower rarity monsters. There are many nat 2* and 3* monsters that are used even by end game players with everything available to them. The developers also intentionally buffed a bunch of farmable lower rarity monsters to be extremely good at PvE content. The best PvE teams in the game are all full of these farmable/fusable 3* and 4* monsters.

Second, there's lots of different areas in the game, and different monsters/teams are good at different things. Even when you're a completely new player, there's no such thing as building a generic team that you use for everything. You work on one thing at a time, building specific teams for specific dungeons.

What this all means is that no matter what shiny rare monsters you manage to summon early on, they won't help you progress through the game. Default 5* monsters are designed to be good for PvP not PvE, so storage them for now and save them for later. Alternatively, it also means that you can have the worst summoning luck in the world and still manage to get through the game just as fast as anyone else.

was made for nat 5's but still works at explaining why certain monsters are used over others

[half patio]

Ohh that makes sense then. I summoned a nat 5 unawakened taranys and I was using him for PvE

Oh well

I think that's all the questions I have then
