Greetings from <Summoners War: Chronicles>.

 

The new Summoner, Soleta, has finally arrived in the world of Chronicles in the Aug. 10th update.

 

We know many players are excited about the new Summoner and are already trying her out in-game!

 

Here’s a special guide to learn more about her powers and how best to utilize her.

 

Please read below for more details.

 


 

 

▌Power Up with CM Serena (New Summoner Soleta Intro & Guide) 

 

1. New Summoner Soleta Basic Info

- Soleta uses various buffs to accumulate basic attacks on the enemy.

- She has unique buffs called [Fletch], [Consecutive Fire], and [Enhanced Fire], which are granted to Soleta upon using certain active skills.

#Fletch: Certain skills are enhanced based on the attribute when a skill is used while the buff is active.

#Consecutive Fire: Fires additional projectiles while the buff is active.

* Only used by the Water attribute.

# Enhanced Fire: Deals increased damage to the same target while the buff is active.

* Only used by the Light attribute.

- Soleta’s basic attacks and skills are additionally enhanced based on the buff, and the enhanced effect varies depending on the attribute.

- Using active skills in a certain order will allow you to use buffs more efficiently.

* Use skills in the following order to maximize the buff efficiency when using a Water weapon.

⑴ Use Skill #2 - [Ice Blast] to activate Fletch

⑵ Use Skill #3 - [Illusion Arrow] to gain Consecutive Fire and ATK SPD UP

⑶ Lastly, use Skill #1 - [Ice Double Shot] which deals bonus damage when you have Consecutive Fire, Fletch, and ATK SPD UP.

⑷ Afterward, attack the opponent with basic attacks enhanced by these buffs and try to use skills in the order of 2 → 3 → 1 according to the skill cooldown.

- There are offensive passive skills which influence the basic attack, ATK SPD, and Precision, and a passive skill focused on survival, such as reducing the cooldown of the evasion skill and applying Soul Protection to herself upon receiving lethal damage.

- Utility and Attribute Research skills are the same as the other Summoners’.

▶ Serena’s Tip: Recently, destroying the enemy’s HP has been an important effect in PvP.

If Fletch is applied while using a Fire weapon, basic attacks and Fire Double Shot can destroy the enemy’s HP.

 

Also, the enemy’s death denial effect is also ignored if a certain ratio of HP is destroyed.

It can counter Cleaf or Water Ifrit’s Endure.

 

Using Soleta with her Fire weapon is recommended if there’s a Monster/Summoner that uses Endure or if not enough HP destruction can be achieved with Destroy Runes in the Challenge/Brawl Arena.

 

Other than that, the Fire attribute is capable of creating situational variables with her CC arsenal of Knockdown and Stun.

In addition, DoT effects including Poison, Bleed, and Electric Shock can be applied to the enemy.

Block Harmful Effect Removal can be additionally applied to enemies who are already under a DoT effect to nullify their Remove Harmful Effect skill.

 

To utilize her range, DoT, and Block Harmful Effect Removal, Monsters with CC or DoT who can help maintain the distance from the enemy or sustain the Block Harmful Effect Removal effect go well with the Wind attribute.

Enhanced Fire deals increased damage to the same target while the buff is active. It can recover a portion of the damage dealt when Fletch is applied in the Light attribute.

 

Also, most skills apply as beneficial effect ignoring damage to the enemy when Enhanced Fire is active. Soleta can deal significant damage and recover a considerable amount of HP when both Enhanced Fire and Fletch are applied.

 

Unlike other attributes, the Light attribute deals bonus damage to bosses, making it useful in PvE.

 

It also has CRIT DMG UP and CRIT RES DOWN, which facilitate powerful critical attacks once you have enough CRIT Rate through your equipment setup.

Utilizing this will give you the advantage of skill cooldowns refreshing before the opponent.

 

Maximizing the efficiency of skill cooldowns will continuously apply Oblivion, which blocks the enemy’s passive skill. You can also apply endless CC with Root, even if the enemy tries to resist the effect.

 

Enemies defeated by Dark Double Shot cannot be revived, which is particularly effective against opponents with a revive deck.

 

3. Overview of Soleta’s Passive Skills

Skill Name

Skill Effect

Hawkeye

When a basic attack hits, applies ATK SPD UP to herself and the team Monster with the highest ATK with a certain chance.

 

When a basic attack critically hits, increases her mana with a certain chance.

Tailwind

Increases the ATK SPD of basic attacks by 5% per ATK SPD UP LV applied to herself, and decreases the ATK SPD of basic attacks by 5% per ATK SPD DOWN LV.

Trueshot

Skill damage increases by a certain ratio per 10% of Precision.

Light Feet

Increases Precision and MOV SPD if her HP is a certain ratio or above.

Counterblow

When Soleta uses the evasion skill, applies ATK SPD UP to herself and recovers a portion of her HP.

Tenacious Spirit

Removes all harmful effects on herself and applies Shield when attacked while her HP is below a certain ratio.

Beyond Reach

When attacked, decreases the cooldown of the evasion skill with a certain chance.

Crystal Clear

When a team Monster's HP falls below a certain ratio, applies CRIT DMG Taken DOWN to herself and the target Monster.

Blessing

When Soleta receives lethal damage, ignores the damage and applies Soul Protection to herself and the team Monster with the lowest HP.

 

▶ Serena’s Tip: Soleta’s passive skills can be divided into offensive skills (Hawkeye/Tailwind/Trueshot/Light Feet/Counterblow) and survival skills (Tenacious Spirit/Beyond Reach/Crystal Clear/Blessing).

 

You should spend a skill point on every skill to maximize the efficiency. It’s recommended to prioritize leveling up Hawkeye which applies ATK UP and ATK SPD UP and Trueshot which increases the skill damage based on the Precision.

 

You can maximize the use of the evasion skill by leveling up Beyond Reach which reduces the cooldown of the evasion skill when attacked, and Counterblow which applies ATK SPD UP and recovers her HP.

 

If you want to put more emphasis on survivability, level up Blessing which ignores lethal damage and Tenacious Spirit which removes harmful effects and grants a Shield when below a certain HP.

 

If you’re looking to level up more offensive skills, go for Light Feet and Tailwind.

 

4. Equipment Guide 

- Soleta’s basic attacks offer many effects. So it is important they don’t miss. Hence, Precision is a key property for your equipment.

- You should aim to increase your damage output by stacking up on ATK%, CRIT Rate, and CRIT DMG.

- Although Soleta deals damage from the backline, she benefits from having more HP to prevent being taken down by a sudden chunk of damage.

▶ Key Properties: Precision, ATK%, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, HP%, ATK SPD
