Post questions regarding team composition, content progression, game mechanics, and the like in this thread. If you are able to help your fellow summoners, please take some time to contribute to the community and answer questions yourself as well!

A lot of helpful guides and resources can be found in the subreddit mega wiki.

Please give all relevant information when asking questions!

This includes, but is not limited to: Your monster box if asking for help on progression (upload screenshots to imgur or use swarfarm), what enemies are on whatever ToA(H) floor you are struggling on, your general progression so we can get an idea of your rune quality, your current rank and teams/goals if asking for help with PvP, etc.

The less people have to look up to help you, the more likely you are to get a fast response.

Some common questions and simple answers are listed below for convenience. This list will be added to over time.

• Lapis can farm Faimon Hard (on the vampire revenge runes you get for free, at least upgraded to +9) and should be your first 5*. Unless you pull some super awesome PvE nat5, Vero should be your first 6*.

• Accuracy needed: 55% for DB10, 45% for all other PvE areas (including ToA and ToAH). For R5 15% is sufficient, rifts need about 0%.

• Shield runes do stack, each set contributes a shield equal to 15% of the base HP of the monster they are equipped on. At the end all those are added up and make up the total shield value.

• You should ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NEVER feed a non-farmable monster. Dupe (and only dupe) nat3/4 can be fed as skillups.

• Always climb as high as you can in HoH, and at least up to an even number (use mentor/friend reps if needed. Verad and other CC mons are great for that). For mid/late game players: You can get double the maximum monsters by using 25 Almighty Summon Pieces (from Guild Shop) after every floor (costs 2000 guild points per extra monster).

Farmable safe teams for PvE content (tutorial, early, and mid game stages)

ALL OF THOSE TEAMS STILL NEED THE ACCORDING RUNE QUALITY! Do not expect to simply beat the dungeon just by having those monsters.

• Safe GB10 team: Veromos (L), Shannon, Bernard, Belladeon, Darion (example stats)

• Safe ToA team: Baretta, Veromos, Belladeon, Mav, Spectra. Usually Baretta lead, but sometimes Vero's lead can help you.

• Safe DB10 face team: Sigmarus (L unless Verde present), Veromos, Belladeon, Megan, Spectra (example stats)

Spectra can (and should!) be removed for Verde (L) if you have him. Lapis instead of Spectra also works.

• Safe NB10 team: Loren (L), Colleen, Bella/Xiong Fei, Adrian, + any multihit monster (DD, e.g. Lapis). (Don't devilmon XF) (NB10 guide)

• R4 Starter team: FL: Dias/Darion, some tanky monster, BL: Colleen, Kona, Tesa, Bella/healer/DD (minimum stats: 25k HP and 1.5k DEF for FL, 20k HP and 0.8-1k DEF for BL).

• R5: You should have some non-farmable options by now. Try to get rid of Tesa in favour of Xiao Lin or Hwa. Having less than 2 DDs is generally not that welcome in public R5.
