Five New Characters Join the Roster
We got a first look at the collaboration Characters through the official minisite. Each one comes with preview videos showing off their skills in action.
Frieren – The thousand-year-old mage who helped defeat the Demon King. From what we've seen in the teasers, her kit focuses on sustained magic damage over time. She plays like a control mage who wears down enemies slowly.
Fern – Frieren's apprentice. She's faster and more aggressive in combat. Expect burst damage abilities that punish enemy mistakes. Her animations look crisp, matching the anime's art style.
Stark – The warrior of the group. He's built for frontline brawling. His skill preview shows heavy melee attacks that can break through shields. Tank players will likely gravitate toward him.
Übel – This one surprised us. Übel brings a unique crowd-control setup. Her spells seem to lock down single targets, making her a strong pick for arena battles.
Himmel – The hero himself. Himmel appears as a support character. His abilities boost ally stats and provide healing over time. In the anime, he's the brave but kind-hearted leader. His kit reflects that.
Com2uS hasn't released full skill descriptions yet. But the previews show each character has a defined role. This is good game design. No one feels like a copy of another.
How to Participate in the Hype Event
Here's a simple way to grab free in-game items right now.
Com2uS is running a Share the Hype Event on the official Summoners War YouTube channel. You need to:
1. Watch the teaser video
2. Leave a comment with your Summoner Name and what you're most excited about
3. Do this before June 29, 2025
Everyone who participates gets Mystical Scrolls, Energy, and Mana Stones. These aren't massive rewards, but they're free. And they stack well with whatever you might earn during the event itself.
Why This Anime Fits Summoners War
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End isn't your typical shonen action series. It's slower. More thoughtful. The story starts after the Demon King is already dead. The hero party won. But Frieren, an elf mage who lives for centuries, watches her human friends age and die. She then begins a new journey to understand human emotions.
That melancholy tone might seem odd for a game like Summoners War, which is usually about monster battles and grind. But the crossover works because both share a focus on magic, unique characters, and deep world-building.
The manga has sold over 35 million copies. It won the Grand Prize at Manga Taisho 2021, the New Creator Prize at the 25th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize, and both the 69th Shogakukan Manga Award (2023) and the 48th Kodansha Manga Award in the shonen category. That's a rare sweep of major awards.
The TV anime got huge reactions worldwide. Season 3 is confirmed to air from October 2027.
Compared to other mobile game crossovers (like Seven Deadly Sins or Attack on Titan), this one feels more deliberate. The characters aren't just flashy skins. They each bring distinct mechanics.
What We Still Don't Know
Com2uS hasn't confirmed everything yet. Key questions remain:
– Will these characters be obtainable through summoning, events, or paid packs?
– How long will the collaboration last?
– Will there be a limited story mode tied to the event?
– Are there any exclusive cosmetics or emotes?
We should get more details in the days leading up to June 29. Based on past Summoners War collabs (like Street Fighter and Witcher), expect a dedicated dungeon, mission board, and daily log-in rewards.
