Summoners War: How to Choose and Rune G2 Siege Offense Teams

To win consistently across all ten Guild Siege attacks in Guardian 2 (G2) Summoners War, match your offense archetype directly to the defense's damage profile and distribute your rune sets across your entire roster instead of stacking only three showcase teams. Reserve fragile, high-speed cleaves strictly for predictable, squishy defenses, and deploy durable classic bruiser and immunity engines to absorb enemy Violent procs against high-risk towers.

Selecting Your Siege Offense Archetype

High-rank siege defenses rely on burst damage, Nemesis traps, base resistance, and counterattacks to punish careless speed teams. Choose your attack composition based on the opposing tower's threat distribution and sustain capabilities:

Vintage sustain setups are safest when facing a defense that relies on a single carry surrounded by two supports. Once that sole threat is neutralized or safely baited, the remaining defenders cannot breach your sustain. Conversely, modern cleave and snipe offenses are necessary when facing multi-threat teams that will overwhelm your defenses if allowed to cycle turns.

In-Battle Targeting and Execution Order

To minimize the impact of defensive Violent procs and resistance checks, execute your attacks in the following sequence:

1. Bait the enemy damage dealer: Exploit defensive artificial intelligence by fielding an elemental counter with high effective HP (EHP) to absorb the enemy threat's strongest attacks safely.
2. Speed-tune your cleanser: Tune your cleansing support to move immediately after the enemy’s stripper or crowd-control monster. This clears incoming debuffs before your primary damage dealer acts.
3. Wait out defensive buffs: Hold your primary damage cooldowns while the enemy carries active Shield, Invincibility, or immunity layers. Strip or wait out these buffs before attacking.
4. Apply reliable Defense Breaks: Avoid multi-hit debuffs that trigger multiple resistance checks. Use monsters with single-hit, high-activation Defense Breaks or ignore-defense skills to create an immediate kill window.
5. Eliminate the core threat first: Focus all burst damage on the primary damage dealer. Removing the main threat reduces the match to an easily managed 3v2 battle against passive supports.

Ten-Sword Rune Allocation Strategy

Succeeding across a full ten-sword siege requires conserving your highest-tier speed runes by gearing distinct monsters for specific operational roles:

• Reserve Swift and Fatal/Rage sets for cleaves: Do not spread 300+ Speed Swift runes across bruisers. Save your absolute fastest turn-one sets and maximum burst sets exclusively for targeted snipe offenses that must eliminate a target on turn one.
• Equip bruisers and cleansers with Violent and Will: Prioritize high Defense, high HP, and maximum Resistance over raw Speed on classic sustain units. These stats allow them to survive turn-one debuffs and recover with passive sustain.
• Utilize Shield and Revenge as secondary sets: Put secondary Shield and Revenge sets on support monsters. Stacked Shield sets provide flat damage mitigation that blunts opening burst damage without demanding high-speed substats.
