Used to have tricaru and all meta teams for B12s. Have solo r5. Had all b12 including PC and SF. Toa normal and hard auto teams.

But now I cant us my old teams for the new B12. Because it doesnt allow dupes. What kind of speed teams are out there? What should I focus on farming? (Still NB12 / DB12for runes? Or did this change). Is there anything specifically I should focus my dimensional energy on now. i have a good amount of the 2as made.

Included pics of my monster box in case that helps.

If people have a general plan to get back into the game and update me on what I should be doing that would be perfect!

start at team 2 of ?gbah and proceed from there in #guides

#

only difference between and a new player is going to be, you'll probably progress through faster

valid furnace
#

Alright thanks. So thats starting at farming GBAH right now? Everything else will come after getting that team set up properly?

wild tree
#

your main source of runes during pve is going ot be gbah, no real need to farm nbah and dbah till pve is done

#

yes

valid furnace
#

Is it hard to get the kylegbah team running? It feels like I can hit those targets. I have pretty decent rune quality (for pve standards). Woudl you still suggest starting on the safer teams?

wild tree
#

would hold off on spd teams till everything else in #guides is done

#

though if u want u can proceed all the way to team 5 of ?gbah if u can manage (in order of upgrades)

valid furnace
#

Kay will get started on this tomorrow. Thanks for the help. If i run into issues i might ask some more

#

Alright I think that should be doable. Will check swop if i can reach that

#

guess if u have a water/wind homie already (i see dark so i assume u have enough rift crystals to make if u dont) ?whomie

valid furnace
#

Yes I had sss teams for all rifts

#

i have plenty of crystals

wild tree
#

nvm i see water, so easy to turn to wind

valid furnace
#

Have 2a spectra too

#

Saw him mentioned in some teams

#

Yeah so water is not used anymore?

wild tree
#

ya should just be meeting rune requirements then

valid furnace
#

I think he was in my toa/h team

wild tree
#

water really never needed to start with

valid furnace
#

Alright ill swap him over asap

#

See hes in the speed teams too

#

So no point keeping him water

# wild tree ya

Okay so I am currently runing the last GBAH team before speed teams. (Galleon > 2aSpectra > Vero(L) > Wind Homie > 2aKro). I can easily reach the stats they ask for so should be fine i think. After that i will just follow beginner guide further I guess?

  • The plus one can be astar (moves after verde) or another fire nuker and would move before verde

  • Shaina has built in acc (25% from passive) so only needs 10% from runes

  • Shaina speeds this dungeon up considerable compared to carcano

  • Overall the dungeon isnt that difficult

Here we go again. This is a guide detailing an efficient path for progressing through all of PvE for a new Summoners War player in 2024 (well... close to 2024 at least).

Feel free to ask questions by starting a thread in #1047269577614164098 and tagging me @mild prism. Don't let the forum-styled format of the channel scare you, it's just an easy way for us to keep track of multiple conversations at once, and to be able to search for and share older discussions. You can spam it as much as you want just like a regular chat.

There are full image albums of all my monsters taken once about halfway through progression at the end of Part 3, and once again at the end of progression at the end of Part 4. Don't miss them.

I've added a summary and outline of this entire guide for your reference:

wild tree
#

the playthrough is the base of #guides , yes

valid furnace
#

Perfect. Thanks!

wild tree
#

though it isnt updated

valid furnace
#

Okay so i will double check with the commands then

valid furnace
#

Okay so I've basically gone through all of the beginner guide now. (Except for NBAH and DBAH, but I heard people say most people farm GBAH anyways so I didnt feel like making those teams)

Now that the cairos balance patch is out, do you think those teams will change at all, and maybe farming necro/dragons more could be good?

#

Im currently using a ~1 min avg basically 100% Giants team if that matters at all

cloud stream
#

no the team hasnt changed, it might just be a bit easier.
I recommend you still farm a good chunk of giants before farming nbah and dbah, but you should still build up those teams when you can. You are getting into pvp soon, and you will also be doing a lot of dragons (and maybe necro) soon

#

dragons gives violent runes, thats the most important rune set in the entire game

valid furnace
#

Yeah i have been playing for a long time, I just returned recently, which is why i had to rebuild all teams

#

i have 3.3k days account age. I have a good chunk of violent runes, just not enough obvioulsy (I think no one has enough)

cloud stream
#

when you get all teams running, you can start getting (back) into pvp by reading #1048719420870107227

#

and see what you can do with current runes, most likely you wont be far ahead of someone who is newer to the game tho

valid furnace
#

for this ?kyledbah

#

is there perhaps any video or guide that goes a bit more in depth on what stats are required on the units?

#

I feel like just hitting the spd and accuracy isnt gonna be enough and I dont want to waste a FRR coupon

cloud stream
#

other than the spd and acc reqs you just stack as much dmg as you can

#

theres no exact stats to aim for as everyones runes are different

#

more damage will be faster, less damage could fail/be slower

valid furnace
#

hmm okay i will just farm some artifacts for a while and then use the optimizer to find the highest damage build for kyle and twins

valid furnace
#

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_N3_W7D92wU&ab_channel=Killeran

Would a team like this make sense now instead of the overly safe team thats in the ?nbah guide?

Since the boss no longer steals on turn 1 I feel like teams like this are much faster and honestly just as safe (it doesnt even come close to failing, even though i know he has high rune quality, if julie does a bit less damage shaina will still clean up most waves)

and julie can be used in multiple dungeons for fast teams so it might be more efficient to rune her well

#

just like shaina is also used in SR

errant helm
#

Try it out and see how it goes

#

You’ll need shield sets to survive the reflect damage

#

Julie should absolutely be runed well - she’s a staple siege offense mon and can be used in multiple dungeons. Doesn’t mean building her well will be enough

Who do i go for?

Primarily looking for pve speed teams or perhaps toa hell units? If no good pve units are in there I guess I should go for a good pvp one

#

(5 star collection in case that helps)

cloud stream
#

you dont pick something for pve.
helena is great for siege since you have Leo

#

Sagar good for rta

#

depends on what you like more

valid furnace
#

definitely siege/gw/arena first before rta

#

i think rta requires a bit more skill (which i dont have yet)

#

So helena then?

cloud stream
#

then Helena would be great

valid furnace
#

perfect thanks!

#

I have her dark sister btw

#

What kind of rune setup would you suggest on that?

#

and is she even any good

cloud stream
#

im assuming you are done with all the content in #guides ?

#

then its time to check out #1048719420870107227

valid furnace
#

Yes i am now. Just been back for like a few weeks

cloud stream
#

you should understand that we dont build random monsters

#

you build specific teams

#

Helena is a part of a good premium siege offense: Jeanne Leo Helena

valid furnace
#

Okay I will have a look later. For now i was still making my teams a bit faster, because farming runes is taking forever right now with the beginner teams that take well over a min per run

valid furnace
cloud stream
#

no they are not listed there. You should start with building the 'starter' offenses/defenses listed in #1048719420870107227 to get a better understanding of pvp content (mostly siege that is somewhat harder to learn)

valid furnace
#

Okay I will start with that and wont bother you with more questions before I've read it lmao. I might need some help later after I'm done with that guide though. Thanks a lot!

cloud stream
#

the thing about jeanne leo helena is that jeanne and helena both need to be skilled up and im pretty sure it needs somewhat good runes to work (someone can correct me on this)

cloud stream
valid furnace
#

My jeanne is skilled up and i have ~20 devilmons left over so I can fully skillup her

#

thanks again

cloud stream
vestal crest
valid furnace
#

Okay so i actually got it working. It's not as hard as it looks. If your julie hits hard enough for GBAH crystal oneshot you are already very close

#

need another shield set though to make it safer. Sometimes julie gets pulled in by icaru and then she is too low to use s3. Sometimes team fails when that happens

valid furnace
#

What should we use the guaranteed rune drop things on?

For giants I was thinking either swift or despair
For Dragons I was thinking Vio
For Necro I was thinking Rage (I still need some rage sets as I havent farmed necro all that much, but maybe will is an option too?)

fathom wharf
#

you should farm according to your needs, depending on where you are in the game

#

giant would be likely swift, necro would depends on what you need for pvp

valid furnace
valid furnace
#

Is there any step up from the ?kyledbah team? Its by far my slowest team. (everything else is around 30 seconds, dragons is more like 45-50 fastest time)

Is this normal or is there a faster team for dbah? (I dont have liam)

mild prism
#

not without liam or lds

valid furnace
#

ld5? I do have deborah, not sure if that helps?

mild prism
#

nope

valid furnace
#

"Fat Lushen: Psamathe, Kabilla, Kona/Teon, Lushen
Used against squishy speed ADs such as Psama Triton Sav Kaki.
If no Psama, use Gin. If you're really poor, use Susano Orion/Wayne Kona.
If no Kabilla, use Eshir or Bernard.
Against slow tankier ADs, you can use attack lead such as Alicia and Mirinae/Miriam instead of Kabilla ."

#

They say if no psama use gin. But what if i have a different arena spd lead like oliver? Can I use him instead or should the unit be more than just providing spd lead?

mild prism
#

read #1048719420870107227

valid furnace
#

I did. They mainly talk about stuff like orion susano and gin kabilla. But dont mention other nat 5 spd leaders as far as ive seen

#

"1. Speed lead. This monster also needs to deal damage to clean up, so something like Oliver or Vanessa (who also have the 33 spd lead) is no where near as good as Psama because their damage output is much lower. If you don't have Psama, Shimitae or Susano are decent nat 4 alternatives."

#

Are the nat 4 alternatives better than nat 5 spd lead?

#

trading in like 10 ish spd for a better kit on your spd leader unit, is that worth it?

mild prism
#

i mean doesn't that directly answer your question?

#

yes its worth lowering the spd lead to use a unit that actually does damage

#

you have seara right? that's fine

valid furnace
mild prism
#

yes

#

best to have something that can cleanup fire units

valid furnace
# mild prism yes

Perfect thanks. Yeah i guess it did answer it, but i just wanted to make 100% sure since it didnt literally say these 4 star options are preferred over other nat 5 spd leaders. Just that the other nat 5 spd leaders are worse than psama

valid furnace
mild prism
#

correct

valid furnace
#

Thanks for your help!

mild prism
#

if the skill doesn't do any dmg itself then it cant glance via elemental disadvantage

valid furnace
#

Yeah I've noticed that on galleon defense break too i think, since it doesnt damage the target it doesnt care about element
