The Best Summoners War: Chronicles Monsters
Deciding on the best monsters to follow your Summoner in various adventures definitely depends on personal preferences, but there are some combinations that just work better. Here are our choices for the best monsters in Summoners War: Chronicles, depending on your preferred Summoner.
Orbia
This Summoner relies on magic and fights from the sidelines. That’s why she needs a powerful attacker as the main sidekick, and there’s none better than a Fire-style Monkey King, who can devastate the opposing forces with his stick. Add a Fire- or a Light-style Archangel, who can fight as support or a knight, and you will have a small but powerful team.
Kina
Kina is first and foremost a healer, and you should take that into consideration when building your team around this Summoner. She is best combined with a Fire- or Light-style Chimera and a Water- or Wind-style Polar Queen, so you can wreak some real havoc on your enemies.
Cleaf
In contrast to Kina and Orbia, Cleaf loves to be front and center in a battle. Having that in mind, it’s best to pick monsters that will aid him from behind with excellent defense, mystical, or psychic powers. Our top choices for supporting Cleaf are a Wind-style Occult Girl and a Dark-style Vampire.
