Overview

Urtau, the Water Minotauros, is a 3★ HP-based monster in Summoners War. Summoners War Urtau Water Minotauros provides basic sustain and crowd control for early-game players. Upon awakening, he gains a useful leader skill that increases the HP of all Water attribute allies by 30%, making him a solid option in early Water-based teams or dungeon compositions. His stats are built around survivability, with decent HP and defense, though his speed and attack are on the lower side, limiting his overall threat in higher-level content.

Urtau’s skill set offers moderate utility. His first skill, Headbutt, has a 50% chance to provoke the enemy for 1 turn—guaranteed if it lands as a critical hit—offering light crowd control. His second skill, Slaughter, deals damage and heals him for 20% of his HP, with an extra healing bonus if the target dies. His third skill, Stab, not only blocks enemy HP recovery for two turns but also heals Urtau based on a percentage of the enemy’s max HP if the attack kills them. Together, these skills give him solid self-sustain and a minor disruptive presence in battle.

Secret Dungeon: No Current Access

• In the past, Com2uS released a Secret Dungeon exclusively for Urtau, where players could gather 40 Summoning Pieces and summon him via the Summonhenge.

Strategy

To efficiently gather the awakening essences needed for Urtau, focus on farming the Hall of Water on Tuesdays and Sundays for Water essences and the Hall of Magic, which is open daily, for Magic essences. Prioritize running at least B7 difficulty or higher to increase the drop rate of mid-tier essences, which are essential for awakening.

If you find yourself low on mid essences, consider using the Fuse Center to convert five low-tier essences into one mid-tier essence, making your farming more efficient. Building a reliable farming team with strong sustain and clear speed—such as monsters with continuous damage, heals, or crowd control—will help you complete runs faster and more consistently. Awakening Urtau unlocks his leader skill and improves his stats, making this farming effort worthwhile for boosting your early Water team’s survivability.

Strength and Weakness

Strength:

• Solid survivability with high HP and defense stats
• Provides reliable crowd control through provoke
• Self-healing skill enhances sustain in battles
• Awakening unlocks a powerful leader skill boosting Water allies’ HP by 30%
• Effective early-game tank and support for Water-based teams
• Useful in dungeon farming with sustain and control abilities
• Simple and easy to rune for beginner players

Weakness:

• Relatively low damage output limits offensive threat
• Provoke chance on Skill 1 is not guaranteed without critical hits
• Lacks AoE skills, reducing effectiveness in multi-enemy battles
• Slow speed can cause him to act after enemies in fast fights
• Falls off in late-game content compared to higher-star monsters
• Limited utility beyond basic provoke and healing abilities

Synergy

Urtau synergizes best with other Water attribute monsters that benefit from his HP leader skill, which boosts Water allies’ HP by 30%. This makes him a solid frontline tank or support in teams that rely on sustain and survivability. Pairing him with Water monsters who excel in healing, buffs, or crowd control—such as Konamiya for cleansing and healing, Shannon for buffs and debuffs, or Krakdon for additional control—helps maximize your team’s durability and control over the battle.

Because Urtau’s provoke and healing abilities keep him alive longer, he works well alongside damage dealers who can capitalize on the disruption he creates, like Chasun or Sigmarus. Overall, building a Water team that combines sustain, crowd control, and damage allows Urtau’s strengths to shine while covering his weaknesses.
