Overview

Burentau, the Fire Minotauros in Summoners War, is a 3★ HP-type monster known for his unique mix of utility and control. As a Fire-element monster in Summoners War Burentau Fire Minotauros brings a Leader Skill that boosts the HP of all Fire allies by 30%, making him a useful pick in mono-Fire comps, especially in early to mid-game content. At max level (6★ awakened), Burentau boasts moderate stats with around 9,720 HP, 615 ATK, 549 DEF, and 99 base Speed. While his base stats aren’t exceptional, his skill set compensates with powerful utility.

His first skill, Headbutt, attacks with his horns and has a 50% chance to provoke the target for one turn. If the attack lands as a Critical Hit, the provoke becomes guaranteed. This skill has no cooldown and becomes more consistent with high Crit Rate, making it ideal for controlling enemy threats. The second skill, Chop, deals a hefty amount of damage and resets the target’s Attack Bar to zero.

If the hit is a Critical, Burentau gains Attack Bar equal to the amount he removed, effectively allowing for immediate follow-up turns when built with enough Speed and Crit. His third skill, Push, is a strong single-target ability that removes all buffs from the enemy and stuns the target for one turn if it’s a Critical Hit, making it a solid tool against buff-heavy enemies or priority threats.

Where to Farm Essences

You can farm the required essences in Cairos Dungeon:

Strategy

Burentau’s strategy in Summoners War revolves around controlling the enemy team through a mix of debuffs, turn manipulation, and buff removal. His first skill, Headbutt, applies provoke—great for locking down key enemy monsters, especially support units or cleansers. With high Crit Rate, this provoke becomes reliable, enabling him to consistently disrupt enemy actions. His second skill, Chop, resets the target’s Attack Bar to zero and grants Burentau turn advantage if it lands as a Critical Hit, allowing him to cycle turns quickly and potentially chain into his third skill.

Push, his most impactful skill, removes all buffs from the target and stuns them if it crits—making him especially dangerous against buff-reliant teams. To maximize his effectiveness, Burentau should be built with close to 100% Crit Rate and decent Speed so he can land his utility effects frequently and move ahead of slower enemies. In battle, he excels at isolating and neutralizing high-priority threats, making him useful in Siege Battles, PvP control comps, and niche dungeon roles where single-target lockdown is valuable.

Strength and Weakness

Strength: Burentau’s main strengths lie in his versatile control toolkit and high utility for a 3★ monster. He offers multiple forms of crowd control through provoke, Attack Bar reset, buff strip, and stun, all of which can disrupt enemy strategies and neutralize key threats.

Weakness: Burentau’s main weaknesses stem from his reliance on Critical Hits to activate key effects and his low base stats as a natural 3★ monster. Many of his strongest utilities—like guaranteed provoke, Attack Bar gain, and stun—only trigger if the hit lands as a Crit, making high Crit Rate (ideally 100%) almost mandatory for consistent performance.

Synergy

Burentau synergizes best with monsters that enhance turn control, increase Crit Rate, or provide sustain, allowing him to reliably trigger his skill effects and stay alive long enough to cycle through them. Units that boost Attack Bar (like Megan, Bernard, or Verdehile) help him rotate turns faster, making better use of his Chop and Push combo to disrupt enemies. Monsters that apply teamwide Crit Rate buffs—such as Sigmarus, Shannon (with runes), or Raoq (2nd Awakening)—increase the consistency of his provoke, stun, and ATB gain, which all depend on landing Crits.

He also benefits from being paired with bruisers or sustain supports like Colleen, Fran, or Chasun, who can keep him alive while he does his single-target control work. In Siege or PvP, pairing Burentau with units who can target other threats or apply AoE pressure (like Lapis or Kahli) creates a balance where Burentau disables one target while teammates clear others.

Lastly, his Fire element and HP-based leader skill make him a strong fit in mono-Fire teams, especially with other Fire control units like Rica or Verdehile, who benefit from the bonus HP and create layered disruption. Overall, Burentau fits best in comps where he can take his turns frequently and rely on allies to either back up his control or capitalize on the gaps he creates.
