Best Summoners War Monsters Guide [Updated List] - SWMasters (2023)

The purpose of this guide is to list and rank the best monsters in Summoners War, broken down by class (Nat 3, Nat 4, etc.) and what they are good for, PvE or PvP. This guide will help you know which Summoners War monsters to keep and build.

Here are the criteria I used to determine the ranking:

1. In how many places can you use the monster
2. How good the monster is in these places
3. How hard is it to replace this monster

*Note*:This criterion is why Lushen is ranked #1 on 4-star lists. Lushen is used in so many places while also being the best monster for its AoE damage dealer role and having almost no replacement.

This guide will be useful for determining which monsters to farm and build on next. You can also use this list to determine what monsters you should try and get with your Summoning Stones.

For this reason I didn't include non-workable Nat 5s as the list would get way too long and most players won't have access to it anyway.

Here are the criteria I used to determine what each monster is "good" for:

The monster has to be better than other F2P or easily available options, for example Lapis is not good for DB10 because Sigmarus is a better substitute and available for everyone to fuse.

While Lapis is usable in DB10, she is not good for DB10 as you should never use her for DB10 over Sigmarus.

Summary and cinclusion:

• Use these lists to determine what monsters to build next.
• Save all your Summoning Stones until there is a week with 2-3 of the best 4 stars that you don't have in the rotation.
• Keep all monster families of the monsters in the lists above so you can use them as skill ups.
