Hi community,
Following the requests received a new guide was born. This guide is called:


You can call me simple minded, but I usually start telling my stories from the beginning, and I intend to stick to my method – I’m a matter-of-fact writer, any fan of Coelho out there should be warned.
In fact, I didnt just pick a random class to start with. My first character was a human mage, but I dropped her because she made the lamest hand gesture when she casted a spell, and because she had ugly clothes and pointy boobc. Yes, I am a superficial idiot.
I then went for the warrior. It took me little over half an hour to decide that the whole thing was too idiot-proof to be worth my time. Duh.
Three is the magic number, kids. I created little Atena, logged in and surprise!, an ugly little beige-and-blue monster was stocking me around Lonbarei. After two minutes I was convinced. I believe my fellow summoners call this the ‘awesomeness factor’: everybody wants a creature following you around, especially when it’s a cool, possibly huge one. I mean, you warriors and mages and archers and all can pretend you don’t care, but you know you want one too. Just, you can’t have it, sorry guys. The Awesomeness Factor is a summoner thing.
It might sound futile to pick a class only because you’ve got a weird thing following you around – actually, it makes perfect sense to me, but I understand that some people will want some more ‘serious’ reasons. There you go then.
** ‘I’ll be there for you’ is the soundtrack for the next paragraph. **
So, what are in fact the advantages of having your pet there, apart for the incredible coolness?
The main thing you have understand is that, being a summoner, you count as two. You have two attacks, which you can direct towards different targets, but more importanly, you are a double target for the mobs. Keep this in mind, because during this Character Build I’ll list a few examples in which these advantages come in handy. In the Skill Analysis section we’ll also see how some of the skills exploit this peculiarity of summoners.
Also, the damage output of a summoner is probably the highest amongst all classes, wizard included. That might sound incredible, but let me explain. I pointed out how the dual nature of your attacks makes you good at ‘multitasking’. However, if you concentrate both of your attacks on the same target, your damage output will almost double – the pet deals about 80% of your basic magic damage. This makes you a formidable opponen in duels, or against bosses.
Flexibility is therefore a great feature of summoners, but it also makes it a little bit trickier to use the full potential we have. However, I assure you that if you die too often or get owned by all the other classes you’re missing something about being a summoner, because we rock. Really.
** Choosing a pet. **

I decided to write this paragraph after reading the comments below – thanks for the cue – and after having witnessed some conversations between summoners, especially low levels. I figured out this might clear out some doubts.



Since the pet is the centre of a summoner’s strenght, choosing the right one is a crucial point. Of course, first of all your pet should look cool – after all, the Awesomeness Factor must not be underestimated. But apart for that, we can distinguish between three different kinds of pet: melee, ranged or mixed.



One important thing: all the pets belonging to the same category, no matter what their race is, will have approximately the same stats. As far as I know, there are no particular exeptions to this rule. Pets that are originally low level also follow this rule, or get penalized in the slightest measure: if I get a Murray now that I’m level 44 he will have as much life and attack as any other melee pet whose original level is higher. In other words, you don’t have to worry about the specific race of the pet you want, but only about the type of pet he is.



Melee are short range fighters. They have a lot of hp, but less attack power. As far as I noticed, there is a further division of something like three different kinds of melee, with more hp and consequent less attack or vice versa; the main idea, however, doesn’t change. Melee need to run to the enemy in order to be able to attack him, and this can be a real drag if you are surrounded by aggro mobs, or if you are dueling and want to keep the distance. On the other hand, they are a sort of ‘hp reserve’, and if you have Unified Force that might be useful. Furthermore, in early levels you could use your pet to tank – but that’s not the best idea ever, scroll down and read about the Golden Rule to understand why.



Ranged pets can be divided in physical and magical. Both of these have lower hp than the melee pets and can attack from the distance – which is something you should not underestimate. I have started using ranged pets – especially magical – the moment I started soloing: ranged pets have a higher damage output, and with Unified Force, it’s much better for me to tank instead of sending my pet to be slaughtered.



Mixed pets are rare, and have both long and short range attacks. This feature might sound cool, but it’s completely useless: your pet will have lower hp than a melee, and lower damage output than a ranged one. Don’t bother using these.



If you have to pick one, I suggest you stick to long range, in particular magical. Why, you ask? Well, ranged are better damage dealers, you won’t need a tank anyways, and they don’t have to run to the enemy catching the attention of every mob in the area. As for the magical, I have a threory which might be completely wrong, but works in the overall.



Pets get influenced by the equip you have – not in hp though, only in attack and defense. Normally – as in, with my armour and staff equipped – my Goddess deals about 250 damage and gets dealt 40 by a magical mob. I unequipped everything and sent her to attack the same mob; she dealt about 180 and got dealt 80. I then did the same with my Minimal Chic – a melee summon. The difference in damage was much less, and his basic attack was about 180 with everything on. My theory is, the magical pet gets much more benefits from my staff because she attacks with the same stat, while the melee pet gets less influenced because his attack is based on a different parameter. Also, if you have intelligence jewelry equipped, it will give bonuses to a magical pet, but not to a melee one. Moral of the story: go for magical, it’s a sh!t load of additional damage. This applies also in choosing between Goddess and Satan at level 24, so keep it in mind when you do. In the Skill Analysis you’ll find more about these two special summons.
A last thing before we move to the next part of this guide. There is one rule that every summoner should stick to – tattoo it on your forearm if necessary, but never underestimate its importance. It’s pretty simple: never, for any reason, let your pet die. Your only buffs are on the pet, half of your damage is from the pet, your life depends on it. I seldom die – and it’s not an exaggeration – but when I do it’s usually because my pet has been killed. Without it, a summoner is like a priest who can’t heal, or a mage without massive damage output. And there I don’t mean useless, I mean dead.
I hope I’ve made my point clear. Now it’s time to tell the proper Character Build story, from level one to today. Sit back and get pop-corns.
I shall adopt a peculiar division in explaining how I got to my actual level – that is, I catalogued the different periods of my 4Story life according to the pet I had at that time. Since I’m a freak, I named all of them but one – a moment of spiritual confusion surely – so my chronicle is going to look a little like Chinese history, only instead of the Ming dynasty period I had the Bob the Murray one. Oh well.
I didn’t list all of the pets I had – I only used either the first or the most significative of a period. Find me around if you want a complete list of their names. Even though, if you do, you probably need more a psychologist than a detailed report on my past pets.

** Reps Analysis **

Reps stands for ‘repeatable quests’ – at least for me >> – and are those irritating, time-taking quests in which you collect vouchers from random people in order to get exp. They start at level 8, and never end again. Fun fun fun, ay?
This analysis refers to the DeFugel reps, I don’t know much about the Craxion ones. Sorry bout this, there’s not much I can do though.
Oh, and reps can be repeated until you’re 5 levels over the minimum required level, so when I say ‘do 17s as long as you can’ means do 17s until you turn level 21, then you have to do 19s for one level. Just clearing this out.
8, 11, 14, 17 Reps
At these levels you don’t have much choice: concentrate both your and your pet’s attack on one mob at a time – unless they are lower level than you and you think you can manage two at a time. Kill them one by one until they’re finished. The best idea is to do these reps in parties, even if you’ll have to share the exp. After level sixteen, if you can party with a priest that will
have already gotten his AoE. You’ll have Unified Force, so you could tank three or four of them – start with two though, then three, then see if you can go up. 17s were one of my favourites, but I wouldn’t know the reason; I just remember I liked ’em.
19, 22, 25 Reps
Avoid as long as possible 19s, while 22s and 25s are both pretty nice. You still don’t have an AoE, so stick together with priests-archers-mages if you can. The best idea for 25s is to start doing them at level 26, so you’ll be able to AoE.
28, 31 Reps
28s are wonderful. You have your AoE, tanking is easy and there’s not much to walk. Just watch out for the bosses that are in the middle of the two areas, they can mess up your tanking by turning you in a squirrel. Cute but annoying. Avoid 31s at least until level 32. If you tank, be careful about the ranged enemies – hide behind a tree so they’ll have to get close and you’ll be able to AoE them.
34, 37 Reps
34s are nice, and you have your new armour – which you’ll better star upgrading immediately. A little walking to do, but easy. Again, tank and then hide behind a tree to get the ranged enemies close. Use the pet’s AoE stuns to get less damage. Avoid 37s as long as possible.
40, 43 Reps
I didn’t mind 40s at all. The first part is simple, while the piranhas are a drag to go fetch, because you’ll have to swim, but not horrible after all. Sprits and ranged Nols hurt, so be careful about that when you tank. 43s are good too, you just have to collect mobs and hide behind those little chariot things in the middle of the fields to AoE for the spirits part, and behind those chicken barn things for the centaur-nol part.


** PvP Analysis **

Summoners have the potential to be th best PvP class – really. They are just tricky to use, and have a few glitches that make it even harder to ‘always’ win. Nonetheless, we usually own. The following descriptions though are based on the assumption that the opponent is about your level – can’t do much about level difference.
A general note about a few things. Firstly, Block Skill: if you manage to use this at the very beginning, there’s a high chance you’ll win. Alternate it with the Goddess/Satan’s stuns. When you have to cast a Protecting Crystal, do it slightly before the beginning of the duel – it lasts long enough.
Against Archers – Probably the trickiest class to beat, especially if they have a good gear/armour. You want to keep close to this guys. What I’ve noticed is that, if you survive their first round of Blind-AoE, you win. You might do one of two things: either run around and make sure that you and your pet are far apart, or stand still and cast the Protecting Crystal. You choice might be based on the level of his weapon/the difference in levels between you two. Other useful skill might be Expansion of Fatigue, which will make it easier to keep close to the archer, and obviously Block Skill.
Against Warriors – If you and ypour warrior opponent have even weapon/armour, the fight should be a piece of cake. Stun as soon as possible, then cast the AoE. Keep away from them; you might want to use Expansion of Fatigue to do this. Block Skill will help you avoid being stun locked. The only problem you need to watch out is the stun lock, which is hard to fight if you don’t have the second pet stun yet. Other than that, Berserkers should give you no problem, while defense warriors are trickier, but still beatable. When their gear is much better, though, I must admit there’s little we can do. Money wins it in this case.
Against Assassins – Uh, ehm, these guys are really not much of a problem. If they go invisible, just keep your bet on berserk stance with Frozen Land ready, and cast Protecting Crystal/AoE around you. Once they come out you might want to use Block Skill, but mainly you just, uh, hit them until they die.
Against Wizards – Some people will hate me if I say this, but mages are really slaughtering material. What’s also true is, there are very few good wizards around. Keep close to them, make sure you and your pets are far away from each other to avoid being stunned simultaneously, and make sure to use Block Skill as much as possible. Watch their AoE – if you manage use a crystal, or get out of it as fast as possible; if you survive one, there’s not much else that a wizard can do to you. Once your Block Skill works, you basically won, since mages have an absurdly weak defence. Just hit them with both your and your pet’s attack. You might want to freeze in order to use an AoE and kill ’em faster – time is money after all.
Against Priests – Your best friend in fighting priests is the Block Skill. Don’t use it at the beginning of the duel though – if you manage, a pet stun is a better idea. While they’re stunned AoE, then use Block Skill so they won’t heal, and just finish ’em off. If your stuns fail just watch the AoE – as for the mages – and use Block Skill a.s.a.p. I never had problems with priests, just keep ’em stun/blocked and keep on hitting them, they’ll die fast enough.

Territory War – Due to the fact that TW is at 4 a.m. for me, I don’t attend it often, so my experience about this is limited. There are a few things to say, though. Firsly, being a Summoner in TW is hell – not because we’re weak, but because the Pet Control is retarded. If you run, you’ll end up losing your pet because he walks in slow motion. Everytime your pet gets hit he stops like a retard for a second or so, which means that if he’s caught in an AoE he’s dead. Your pet also has basically no defence – and the two buffs your have will not be enought to save his life. If you fight on a bridge, he’ll fall; if you fight on a hill, he’ll find obstacles for every minimal detail. If you die, when you resurrect you’ll need to summon again, and in the meanwhile you’re vulnerable.
If you manage to stay alive despite the retardedness of your pet, though, you will be able to deal massive amount of damage and, more importantly, debuff – the secret is concentrating on a single target, kill it fast and move to the next.
Moral of the story: try not to die in TW, and you’ll win. Ah ah.

I sincerely hope that this guide has been helpful. And if u think same please leave a like. Thanks all
