To build Wedjat (Light Horus) for Summoners War World Arena (RTA), equip him on either a high-speed Swift/Will or Violent/Will set focused on high effective HP and speed. In the draft, use his 115 base speed, continuous attack bar boosts, and defensive buffs to anchor speed-scaling bruisers against opposing control and cleave teams.
Choosing Between Swift and Violent Rune Sets
Wedjat functions as both an attack bar booster and an extended sustain engine. Your choice between Swift and Violent depends on whether your team comp aims to contest the opening turn or out-cycle opponents over longer matches. Will runes are the standard secondary offset for both builds to shield against turn-one crowd control and Leo attack bar manipulation.
| Rune Setup | Primary Role | Ideal Team Archetype | Key Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swift / Will | First-turn tempo acquisition | Fast control, aggressive turn-one teams | Lower recovery in extended sustain mirrors |
| Violent / Will | Continuous passive cycling | Turn-two bruisers, dual-support cores | Lower raw speed; vulnerable to dedicated turn-one boosters |
Swift / Will
Capitalize on Wedjat’s 115 base speed to contest common control openers such as Oliver, Cheongpung, and Sekhmet. Taking the first turn allows Wedjat to deploy defensive buffs immediately and push secondary units ahead of the enemy's follow-up debuffs.
Violent / Will
Maximize passive activations across extended exchanges. Each Violent turn triggers Wedjat's passive skill to heal the team and boost combat readiness for your slower units. This setup excels in bruiser mirrors where matches routinely extend beyond four turns and cycling frequency dictates the win.
Stat Priorities and Artifact Optimization
Wedjat scales his value through field presence rather than raw damage output. Prioritize survivability so he can withstand targeted elemental attacks from threats like Masha or Douglas.
Main and Substat Targets
- Slot 2 / 4 / 6 Main Stats: Speed / HP% or Defense% / HP%
- Speed: Aim for +170 to +190 on Swift, or +145 to +160 on Violent.
- Effective HP: Target at least +25,000 HP and +600 to +800 Defense.
- Accuracy and Resistance: Maintain 30% to 50% Accuracy to land skill-one attack bar reduction and skill-two disruption, gathering residual Resistance where possible.
Artifact Properties
- Primary Substats: Attribute Damage Reduction from Fire and Wind to blunt burst damage from units like Masha, Oliver, and Dominic.
- Skill Enhancements: Increased Healing on Skill 3/Passive to maximize team recovery.
- Secondary Properties: Damage Dealt by Speed and Damage Dealt by HP to add chip damage during late-match cleanups.
Draft Synergies
Wedjat pairs best with units that convert defensive buffs, healing, and attack bar boosts into offensive pressure:
- Miles (Water Sky Surfer): Gains bonus flat damage from active team buffs. Wedjat supplies immediate team-wide buffs to maximize Miles' passive output on turn one.
- Chandra (Water Beast Monk): Protects Wedjat from single-target burst with Hug, while Wedjat's cycling keeps Chandra moving to cycle stuns and slows.
- Sagar (Wind Slayer): Uses Wedjat's attack bar fills to cycle resets, strips, and provokes before enemy teams can cleanse.
- Riley or Shizuka: Adds a second defensive layer that prevents control compositions from breaking through your sustain.
Draft Counters to Avoid
Wedjat does not have a native cleanse or innate immunity. Avoid drafting him into situations where an opponent can invalidate his passive or exploit his buffs:
- Multi-Buff Strippers: Monsters like Moore, Giana, and Chiwu remove Wedjat’s defensive buffs and convert them into stuns or direct damage.
- Passive Suppression and Resets: Tesarion's Oblivion shuts down Wedjat's passive cycling entirely, while fast cooldown resets from Sekhmet delay his defensive skills.
- Leo Compositions: Leo locks turn velocity to his own speed, neutralizing the value of Wedjat’s 115 base speed. If the enemy secures Leo or multiple buff counters early, pivot the draft toward high-resistance cleansers and reactive turn-two bruisers.

The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
Good guide for Summoners War players. The strategy part was useful.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
