The new update v.6.0.4 of Summoners War

Announced yesterday by the developers of Summoners War, this update brings a very interesting new feature: the repeat battle !

Or, back-to-back fights, call it what you will, but this feature could bring a fun to the game (though...) that hasn't been seen since Summoners War launched in 2014.

The door to the Summoners War dimensions — *The door of dimensions*.

This new feature will be available in the "Gate of Dimensions" building. But let's see what these repeat battle in Summoners War are all about.

What are the repeat battle in this update?

The first piece of good news is that you will be able to perform 10 repeat battle with each run. When the back-to-back battles start, you can stay on your heavenly island and summon or upgrade the monsters you have.

You will also be able to upgrade your runes and artefacts or the different modes available (apart from the PvP and PvE battle modes). You will also be able to check your different rewards in the fights you have done.

The different areas where repeat battle will be available

As you can see in this picture, the repeat battle will be available in several scenarios.

History	All available scenarios
Cairos Dungeon	All dungeons will be available
Dungeons of the Rift	All beasts except the Chaos beast will be available

How do you select these monsters in the repeated battles of Summoners War?

Once you have selected the location, you will have to choose the different monsters you need for your battles. Another important point of this Summoners War update is that you will not be able to use your friends' monsters. It will only be you, facing the dungeon bosses!

When the monsters are chosen, you can then start your fights and here you have to look at the interface carefully.

Other important points of this SW update

The developers thought that by tuning different features in the repeat battleThe developers thought that by granting different features in the game, the game would be more "fun". This feature is quite developed in other games of the genre, so it makes sense that it appears in SW.

Who will benefit from repeat battle ?

Let's just say that if you're a heavy Summoners War player, this new feature probably won't totally change your playing habits. But if you're a casual gamer, that's where it gets interesting. The repeat battle will allow you to farm much more and therefore toevolve in the game more efficiently.

It remains to be seen what the final result of this update will be. It's still too early to draw any conclusions. We'll be sure to tell you all about it as soon as it's released and give you a full debrief on what players thought of the change.
