Summoner Wars Tier List (October 2025) – Best Monsters Ranked for PvE & PvP
If you’ve been grinding through Summoner Wars like the rest of us, you’ve probably realized that not every monster is built equally. Some melt through bosses like butter, others… well, let’s just say they’re more for “collection value.” That’s where a solid Summoner Wars tier list comes in handy — especially if you want to invest your runes, resources, and time into the right monsters.
I. Introduction to Summoner Wars Tier List
A. Overview of the Tier List System
The tier list helps players gauge monster performance across all game modes — PvE, PvP, Raids, and RTA (Real-Time Arena). It’s not about favoritism; it’s about efficiency.
B. Tier List Purpose and Methodology
This list is based on endgame testing, community feedback, and real meta analysis after the 2025 balance patch.
C. Monster Evaluation Criteria
Skill synergy and cooldown efficiency
Team versatility
Elemental balance
Gear scaling and rune dependency
Endgame performance consistency
D. Game Version and Meta
The October 2025 patch changed a lot: new Light/Dark monster rebalances and rune system refinements made several older units viable again.
E. Community Overview
The player base is more competitive than ever, with active Discord and Reddit communities hosting weekly tier debates, raid strategy guides, and even fan-made ranking boards.
II. Tier List Structure and Ranking System
A. Overview
We’ll break this down into SS, S, A, B, and C tiers for clarity.
B. Tier Ranking Explanation
SS Tier: Absolute top-tier monsters — used everywhere, minimal flaws.
S Tier: Excellent in most content.
A Tier: Good picks but require more investment.
B Tier: Decent situationally.
C Tier: Outdated or low-impact units.
C. Category Definitions
Each monster’s performance is averaged between PvE, PvP, and Raid potential to determine their spot.
D. Placement Criteria
Scores consider both solo and team value — a unit that carries dungeons and excels in PvP ranks higher.
E. Ranking Methodology
Everything here’s been playtested using consistent rune sets and setups from real endgame accounts.
III. S Tier and Top Monsters
A. S Tier Overview
These are the monsters you build first — they dominate across nearly all content.
B. SS Tier Monsters
Veromos (Dark Ifrit) – Still the universal cleanser king; excellent in dungeons and RTA.
Chasun (Wind Sky Dancer) – Unkillable sustain and heal-turn manipulation.
Galleon (Water Pirate Captain) – Buffs, defense break, speed utility — essential for burst teams.
Belladeon (Light Inugami) – Reliable healer + defense breaker; remains a beginner to veteran staple.
Fran (Light Fairy Queen) – The queen of flexibility; shines in everything from dungeons to RTA.
C. Top Tier Guide
If you’re starting fresh or optimizing your main team, Fran + Belladeon + Veromos will carry you through 70% of the game.
D. Strongest Monster List
Add Loren (Light Cow Girl) for crowd control and Galleon for offensive synergy — that’s an S-tier setup right there.
E. Best Selection
SS-tier monsters perform with minimal rune dependency, which makes them perfect for free-to-play or casual players.
IV. A Tier Monsters
A. Overview
Strong, versatile units that might not be broken — but definitely worth your time.
B. Notable A-Tier Monsters
Sigmarus (Water Phoenix): Exceptional damage in dungeons, squishy in PvP.
Chloe (Fire Epikion Priest): Still a strong protector with invincibility buffs.
Lushen (Wind Joker): A legendary nuker — clears waves faster than anyone when well-runed.
Tesarion (Fire Ifrit): Anti-passive beast for PvP counters.
C. Monster Capabilities
A-tier monsters usually dominate one mode and perform adequately in others.
D. Ranking Notes
For example, Lushen ranks S-tier for farming, but A-tier overall because of fragility in late-game PvP.
E. Recommendation
They’re great mid-game investments, especially for farming and boss content.
V. B Tier and Lower Ranking Monsters
A. Overview
B-tier doesn’t mean “bad” — just limited. These monsters often shine in specific elemental or dungeon scenarios.
B. Examples
Tyron (Water Sylph): Great control unit for ToA, weaker elsewhere.
Theomars (Water Ifrit): Still a solid nuker but overshadowed in late meta.
Raoq (Fire Inugami): Useful early-game farmer, falls off later.
C. C-Tier & Lower
Older units like Shannon (Wind Pixie) or Bernard (Wind Griffon) are still functional for early players, but you’ll eventually replace them.
D. Monster Viability
Some can be revived through secondary awakenings, so don’t trash them yet!
E. Underperforming Analysis
Most low-tier monsters lack scaling, multi-hit mechanics, or synergy with current rune meta.
