Shop & Special Packs

Prioritize your purchases with our guide to Summoners War shops and special packs, optimizing your progression for free-to-play or paying players.

Navigating the various shops and understanding the value of special packs in Summoners War is crucial for efficient progression. This guide will help you prioritize your purchases, whether you're a free-to-play Summoner or looking to invest wisely.

The Magic Shop

The Magic Shop, accessible from your island, refreshes its inventory every hour. While many items are common, it's a vital source for specific resources. Always keep an eye out for these:

• Mystical Scrolls: These are the primary way to summon new monsters. They appear infrequently but are always worth purchasing with Mana Stones.
• Unknown Scrolls: While less exciting, these are excellent for fodder monsters to evolve your main team. Buy them if you're low on 1-star or 2-star monsters.
• Runes (4-6 Stars): Early game, focus on 4-star and 5-star runes with desirable main stats (e.g., %ATK, %HP, %SPD for slots 2/4/6). Mid to late game, only consider 6-star runes with good main stats and promising substats (e.g., Speed, Crit Rate, Crit Damage). Prioritize runes from desirable sets like Violent, Swift, Despair, and Fatal.
• Summoning Stone Pieces: Occasionally, you'll find these. If you're close to a full Summoning Stone summon and the rotation features monsters you desire, they can be a good buy.
• Monster Pieces (Secret Dungeon Monsters): If you missed a Secret Dungeon or need a few more pieces to summon a monster, these can be a lifesaver, though they are quite rare.

Strategy: Check the Magic Shop frequently throughout the day. Set a mental budget for Mana Stones to ensure you can always afford crucial purchases like Mystical Scrolls and high-quality runes.

Glory Shop (Arena)

The Glory Shop, found within the Arena menu, uses Glory Points earned from Arena battles. This shop is paramount for long-term account growth.

• Devilmon: This is your absolute top priority. Purchase one every week without fail. Devilmon are essential for leveling up monster skills, and their scarcity makes them invaluable.
• Mystical Scrolls: After Devilmon, these are your next priority. You can purchase a limited number each week.
• Energy & Arena Invitations: These are good for maintaining your daily activities and can be purchased as needed.
• Buildings:
  • Sanctuary of Energy: Increases your maximum energy. Prioritize this early on.
  • Mystical Training Ground: Increases monster EXP gain. Very useful for leveling fodder.
  • Sky Tribe Totem: Increases Attack Power. Crucial for all damage dealers.
  • Ancient Sword: Increases Defense. Important for tankier monsters.
  • Crystal Altar: Increases HP. Benefits all monsters.
  • Guardstone: Increases Critical Rate. Essential for damage dealers.
  • Fallen Ancient: Increases Critical Damage. Pairs well with Guardstone.
  • Speed Totem: Increases Attack Speed. Arguably the most important stat in Summoners War; prioritize this building heavily.

Strategy: Always buy your weekly Devilmon. Then, focus on upgrading your stat-boosting buildings, prioritizing Speed Totem, Sky Tribe Totem, and then others based on your monster roster's needs. Only after these are significantly leveled should you consider additional Mystical Scrolls from the Glory Shop.

Guild Shop

Accessed through the Guild menu, the Guild Shop uses Guild Points earned from Guild Wars and Labyrinth.

• Rainbowmon (4-Star Max Lv.): Purchase these weekly. They are incredibly efficient for evolving 5-star monsters.
• Ifrit Summoning Pieces: If you're aiming for a specific Ifrit (Theo, Tesa, Amduat), these are a consistent way to acquire them.
• Legendary Scroll Pieces: A long-term investment, but worth accumulating for a guaranteed 5-star monster.
• Mystical Scrolls: Good for additional summons after your primary purchases.
• Flags: Similar to Arena buildings, these provide stat boosts during Guild content. Prioritize flags that benefit your main Guild War/Labyrinth teams.

Strategy: Prioritize the weekly 4-Star Rainbowmon. Then, decide between Ifrit pieces or saving for Legendary Scroll pieces based on your immediate monster needs. Flags are a good long-term investment for competitive guild play.

Special Packs (Real Money Purchases)

For players looking to spend real money, understanding which packs offer the best value is key. Com2uS frequently rotates special packs, but some general principles apply:

• Daily Pack I & II: These offer excellent daily value for Crystals, Energy, and Mana Stones over a month. If you're going to spend regularly, these are often the best starting point.
• Summoner's Way Packs: These are one-time purchase packs that appear as you progress through the Summoner's Way missions. They often provide a significant boost of resources (Crystals, Mystical Scrolls, Legendary Scrolls, Runes) for a relatively good price, especially the early ones.
• Transcendence Scroll Pack: This is the holy grail of packs, appearing rarely (usually during major anniversaries or holidays). It guarantees a natural 5-star monster. If you're a whale or looking for a significant boost, this is the pack to save for.
• Legendary Scroll Packs: These guarantee a natural 4-star or 5-star monster. While not as good as Transcendence, they are still a strong option for increasing your monster pool.
• Rune Packs: Generally, these are not recommended unless you are a very late-game player specifically targeting extremely rare, perfect runes. The RNG involved makes them a risky investment for most.
• Reappraisal Stone Packs: These are valuable for late-game players who have good 6-star legendary runes but need to optimize their substats. Not for early or mid-game players.

Strategy: If you're spending small amounts, focus on the Daily Packs and Summoner's Way Packs. For larger investments, save for Transcendence Scroll Packs. Avoid most Rune and Reappraisal Stone packs until you have a solid foundation of monsters and runes.
