Overview

Toma, the Water Penguin Knight, is a 2-star support monster in Summoners War known for his niche utility and surprising tankiness. Summoners War Toma Water Penguin Knight offers a unique skill set that includes provoke, defense scaling, and self-sustain. His second skill, Body Slam, deals damage proportional to defense and has a chance to provoke the enemy, making him useful for controlling single targets in early-game content or specific challenge scenarios. While not commonly used in high-level PvP or PvE content, Toma shines in specialized roles where control is key.

Toma’s passive, Tenacity, increases his defense and recovery, allowing him to stay on the field longer than expected for a low-star monster. While overshadowed by stronger units, Toma can be a fun and quirky option for beginners or collectors looking to experiment with underused monsters.

Strategy

Toma is a niche but surprisingly effective utility monster with a focus on crowd control and sustain. His skill set revolves around provoking and disrupting enemy teams while being able to tank hits thanks to defense scaling. After awakening, his third skill, Crush Iceberg, gives him AoE utility by applying Attack Speed slow, which adds to his ability to control the pace of battle. While not a staple in competitive content, Toma can shine in early-game PvE, niche PvP setups, and special challenges where provoke and debuffs are valuable.

• Provoke Utility
  Toma’s Skill 1 and 2 can both provoke enemies, forcing them to attack him instead of allies — ideal for disrupting healers or nukers.
• DEF-Based Damage
  His second skill scales off defense, making him easier to build tanky while still dealing decent damage.
• AoE Slow Debuff (Skill 3)
  Crush Iceberg applies Attack Speed slow on all enemies, reducing enemy team efficiency and turn cycling.
• Decent Sustain & Durability
  With high base defense and provoke mechanics, Toma is built to last and draw attention away from squishier allies.
• Synergy with Sustain & Counter Teams
  Best paired with healers or counterattack units where provoke leads enemies into punishing trades.
• Easy Skill-Ups and Build
  As a 2★ monster, he’s very easy to max out and build early with common runes and family fodder.
• Best Uses
  Early-game PvE, crowd control comps, special challenge dungeons, or fun control-based PvP teams.

Synergy
