Summoners War LD 1-Star and 2-Star Monsters: How to Get and Use Them

In Summoners War, you cannot summon 1-star or 2-star Light and Dark (LD) monsters from standard summon scrolls. Natural 1-star LD monsters are retired event collectibles with no combat utility, while natural 2-star LD monsters are farmable exclusively through weekly elemental Secret Dungeons. Several 2-star units possess viable end-game roles through Secondary Awakening (2A) or specific passive skills, but they should only be built after your core progression teams are complete.

Why LD 1-Star and 2-Star Monsters Do Not Drop from Scrolls

The standard summoning pools in Summoners War skip natural 1-star and 2-star Light and Dark units entirely:

Unknown Scrolls and Social Summons: Restricted to summoning 1-star to 3-star monsters of the Fire, Water, and Wind elements.
Light & Dark Scrolls: Programmed to summon only natural 3-star to 5-star monsters.
Mystical and Legendary Scrolls: Restricted to Fire, Water, and Wind monsters, with higher baseline rarity floors.

Because standard summons bypass these tiers, empty entries in the Monster Book for monsters like the Light Imp or Dark Slime cannot be completed through scroll farming.

The Status of LD 1-Star Monsters

Natural 1-star Light and Dark monsters cannot be farmed or summoned in standard gameplay. Units such as Dark Ghost, Dark Slime, Dark Sandman, Dark Low Elemental, Dark Forest Keeper, Dark Horned Frog, and Dark Surprise Box were distributed in early, time-limited promotional Secret Dungeons (such as early Halloween events).

These monsters have minimal baseline stats, possess no secondary awakenings, and offer no tactical advantage in PvE or PvP. They also provide no collection milestone bonuses. If an account does not already own them, there is no in-game method to obtain them, and skipping them carries no gameplay penalty.

How to Farm 2-Star LD Secret Dungeons

Natural 2-star Light and Dark monsters are permanently accessible through Secret Dungeons discovered in the Cairos Dungeon rotation. The Hall of Light opens on Sundays, and the Hall of Darkness opens on Mondays. Both open simultaneously during occasional All-Attribute Dungeon weekend events.

To collect a 2-star LD monster efficiently:

Watch Public Chat: Monitor active community channels (such as channel 1050 on global servers) for system announcements stating that a player has opened the required Secret Dungeon.
Request Access Immediately: Send an in-game friend request to the discoverer right away, or ask politely in chat for an invite before their 10-player dungeon limit is reached.
Clear Stage 10: Run the Secret Dungeon through wave 10 to earn 4 summoning pieces per run. A 2-star monster requires 20 pieces to summon, meaning you can fully unlock the unit in five full runs.
Use Elemental Copies for Skill-Ups: Do not waste energy farming duplicate LD Secret Dungeons for skill levels. Use common Fire, Water, and Wind duplicates pulled from Unknown Scrolls to level up the skills of shared families like Howls and Warbears.

High-Value 2-Star LD Monsters to Build

Monster	Family & Awakening	Primary Role	Core Utility
Gorgo	Dark Warbear (2A)	Guild Siege / Special League	Max HP damage scaling, reliable stuns, and area-of-effect attack bar reduction.
Shushu	Light Howl (2A)	Guild PvP Support	Multi-target cleanse, immunity buffs, and sustained low-cooldown healing.
Chacha	Dark Howl (2A)	PvP Offense Disruption	Swaps stat advantages with targets, steals attack power, and redistributes allied HP.
Sharman	Light Salamander	Rift Raid / Boss Stages	Passive crowd control immunity and damage scaling directly with enemy Max HP.
Taru	Light Imp	Early Single-Target Cleave	Skill 3 ignores defense without requiring Secondary Awakening.

Investment Rules and Resource Bottlenecks

Before spending resources on 2-star LD monsters, evaluate your current account priorities against two strict bottlenecks:

Dimension Hole Energy: Completing a Secondary Awakening (2A) requires roughly 100 Dimension Hole Energy. Prioritize foundational progression monsters—such as 2A Belladeon (Light Inugami), 2A Spectra (Fire Griffon), and 2A Vigor (Water Werewolf)—before spending this slowly recharging resource on niche PvP options like Gorgo or Chacha.
Crystal Conservation: Do not spend crystals to manually unlock the Hall of Light or Hall of Darkness on off-days. Wait for the scheduled Sunday and Monday rotations to preserve crystals for regular dungeon farming.
