Main Quest

Welcome to Summoners War: Sky Arena! Your Guide, Ellia, will introduce you to the game's basics and provide main quests. These quests, found on the left side of the game screen below the Events Icon, progress the story and unlock new areas on the Battle Map.

Monsters

Monsters are the core of the game. They battle for you and provide rewards. Monster strength is determined by Grade (Stars) and Level, though this isn't always a direct correlation. Monster Type and equipped Runes also significantly impact their strength. Monsters are primarily obtained through Summoning.

Characters

Characters are the main aspect of the game. They are little creatures that live on the island. Monsters can battle for players, which will usually provide players with some rewards upon winning a battle. Monsters are graded by two criteria: Grade (number of Stars) and Level. In general, the higher the grade or level, the stronger the monster. Note that this is not necessarily true. The strength of monsters also depend on its Type as well as runes. Runes will be explained in the following section. Monsters are mainly obtained from Summoning, with some few exceptions.

Runes

Runes are equipment that provide stat boosts to monsters. They are categorized into sets, and equipping a certain number of runes from the same set grants a Set Effect bonus. Runes can be found throughout the game. There is no single best rune setup; it depends on the player's strategy. For rune build advice, refer to individual monster pages or use the search function. Rune Lens can help manage runes efficiently.

Arena

The Arena, unlocked after the Garen Forest tutorial, pits players against each other. Winning Arena Battles earns Glory Points, used for purchasing and upgrading buildings, and buying monsters and scrolls. Players are ranked by Arena Points, which determine their Tier (League). Weekly rewards are distributed based on these ranks.

Currency

Key currencies in the game include:

• Mana Stone: Used for powering up monsters and runes, summoning, the Magic Shop, and buildings.
• Crystal: Premium currency for purchasing other currencies.
• Glory Points: Used in the Glory Shop.
• Guild War Points: Used in the Guild Shop.
• Arena Invitation: Used to start Arena battles.
• Energy: Used to start regular battles in scenarios, Cairos dungeons, guild battles, Trial of Ascension, and Rift/Raids.

Buildings
