Overview

Tantra, the Fire Yeti in Summoners War, is a 2★ HP-type monster primarily known for his role as a fusion material (notably for Susano) and as a durable tank for early-game PvE content. With decent base HP and skills that scale with max HP, Summoners War Tantra Fire Yeti serves well in solo or sustain-heavy strategies during the early stages of progression. His first skill, Slash Hook, hits twice and has a chance to reduce the enemy’s attack bar, offering minor crowd control.

The second skill, Fire Burst, is a single-hit attack that also reduces attack bar and scales with both ATK and HP, making it effective when runed properly with HP% stats.

Tantra’s third skill, Ancestor’s Blessing, is where he shines most—creating a shield worth 50% of his max HP for 3 turns and healing him for 15% of his max HP each turn. This makes him remarkably self-sufficient and capable of soloing early-game content such as Faimon Volcano Normal.

Tantra Stats

Tantra, the Fire Yeti, has solid base stats for an early-game tank in Summoners War. When fully awakened and at 6★ level 40, he boasts 8895 HP, 560 Attack, 494 Defense, and 101 Speed. His base Critical Rate is 15%, with Critical Damage at 50%, along with 15% Resistance and 0% Accuracy. These stats emphasize his role as an HP-type monster designed to absorb damage and sustain himself during battles.

The slight Speed boost gained from awakening (from 100 to 101) helps him cycle turns more frequently, especially when paired with supportive or counterattack runes like Violent or Revenge. While his offensive stats are low, Tantra’s survivability and utility make him a reliable unit in early-game PvE scenarios and solo farming setups.

Strategy

Tantra, the Fire Yeti, excels as an early-game tank and sustain unit in Summoners War, making him particularly useful in beginner PvE content like Faimon Volcano, Hall of Fire, and early dungeon runs. His skills are built around survivability and crowd control. His first skill, Slash Hook, hits twice and reduces the enemy’s attack bar, which can be useful when paired with Revenge runes to disrupt enemy turns.

His second skill, Fire Burst, deals damage that scales with his max HP and reduces attack bar as well, making him even more effective at controlling enemy actions. The highlight of his kit is Ancestor’s Blessing, which grants a massive shield equal to 50% of his max HP and heals him by 15% of his max HP each turn for three turns. This gives Tantra exceptional self-sustain, especially when used with Violent runes to reduce cooldowns and maintain constant uptime.

In terms of team strategy, Tantra fits well as the frontline tank and support. He pairs effectively with units like Shannon (buff/debuff support), Bernard (speed buffer), Konamiya (cleanser/healer), and Lapis (free 4★ damage dealer). This kind of team setup gives beginners a durable and reliable comp for clearing early PvE content.

While Tantra has limited value in PvP and late-game dungeons, he’s a great solo farmer in scenarios like Faimon Volcano (Normal), and his self-sustain makes him a valuable unit for players just starting out. He also serves as essential fusion material for Susano, so even if he falls out of use later, it’s worth keeping a copy.

Strength and Weakness

Strength: Tantra’s strengths lie in his durability, self-sustain, and early-game utility, making him a valuable asset for new Summoners War players. As an HP-type monster, he boasts a solid base HP stat and skills that scale well with it. His third skill, Ancestor’s Blessing, is his core strength—providing a large shield (50% of his max HP) for 3 turns and healing 15% of his HP each turn. This gives him incredible survivability, allowing him to act as a frontline tank or even solo content like Faimon Volcano (Normal).

Weakness: Tantra’s main weaknesses stem from his limited scaling and overall utility in mid-to-late game content. While his HP-based shield and healing provide strong survivability early on, his damage output is quite low, making him ineffective as a damage dealer. This limits his usefulness in PvP modes like Arena or Guild War, where burst damage and crowd control are crucial.

Synergy

Tantra synergizes best with team compositions that maximize his tankiness and capitalize on his ability to control enemy turns and sustain through damage. Because his strengths lie in survivability and attack bar manipulation, pairing him with units who provide buffs, debuffs, or reliable damage dealers helps him shine.

For example, Bernard is a great synergy partner, as his speed buff helps Tantra get turns faster to maintain shields and apply attack bar reductions. Shannon complements Tantra by boosting defense and slowing enemies, which pairs well with Tantra’s tank role and control skills. Additionally, Konamiya offers cleansing and healing support that further enhances Tantra’s durability in prolonged fights.

Damage dealers like Lapis or other early-game DPS units benefit from Tantra’s ability to absorb hits and disrupt enemies, creating space for them to deal damage safely. Rune sets like Violent on Tantra allow him to chain his shields and heals more frequently, amplifying the effectiveness of these synergistic teams.

In PvE content, this combination of buffs, debuffs, control, and sustain lets Tantra serve as a frontline anchor, enabling smoother clears in dungeons, scenario farming, and early Rift Beasts. Overall, Tantra’s synergy is strongest with supportive buffer/healer units and stable DPS monsters that rely on him to soak damage and keep enemies’ attack bars in check.
