Monster Bestiary

What’s in the Bestiary

Open Bestiary in the sidebar (or go to /webapp/bestiary). The page is public — no login or SWEX JSON — and has two tabs: Home, with the RTA meta and the trending teams for every content, and All monsters, a sortable table of every monster. Click any monster anywhere to open its monster page.

The header’s stats strip counts what the data covers: Seasons (the range of RTA seasons recorded, such as 36–38), Battles and Players (every recorded RTA battle and player), Monsters, and the number of Siege, WGB, Arena, RTA and Dungeon teams in the community team lists.

Searching for a monster

Type in Search monsters… at the top right of the header. Results appear as you type (from two letters on), up to ten at a time:

• Names and family names both match, so “Ifrit” lists every Ifrit, and the unawakened name finds the awakened monster.
• Dots and spaces don’t matter (“dr plasma” finds Dr. Plasma), and collab names work: “RYU” finds the merged “Moore / RYU”.
• Only awakened forms are listed; when a second awakening exists you get the “(2A)” entry.

Each result shows the portrait with its natural stars, the element and family, the RTA Pick and Win rates (win rate green at 52%+ and red at 48% or less) and a PvP gauge — the monster’s overall usage score. Use ↓ / ↑ and Enter, or click a result, to open the monster page; Esc closes the list.

The Home tab

Home stacks four sections, top to bottom: RTA meta overview, Popular RTA & Arena teams, Trending guild teams & defenses and Trending Caiross dungeon teams, followed by an About box. While the data loads you’ll see “Loading the bestiary”.

RTA meta overview

“Top picks, win rates, bans & overall ratings — one filter bar for all four lists.” The Full table button jumps to the All monsters tab.

The filter bar

Changing the season or rank reloads all four lists (“Applies to all four lists”).

The four lists

• Solo / Duo / Trio / Quad / Quint switch Top picks, Highest win rate and Best overall from single monsters to teams of 2–5 that are picked together (“A + B”). Bigger teams lower the minimum to 500 / 200 / 100 / 50 battles.
• Min battles sets each list’s minimum sample.
• Lists open at 10 rows — Show more goes up to 100. Click a monster to open its page.

Teams on the Home tab

Popular RTA & Arena teams

• RTA teams — up to 50 five-monster teams ranked by how often they’re used (the count shows as “1.2K”; hover for the exact number).
• Arena teams — Attack and Defense columns: SWLens trending teams first (3 → 2 → 1 flames), then community teams by usage, up to 50 each.

Trending guild teams & defenses

“Hot siege & world guild battle defenses with proven counters.” The Siege teams and WGB teams cards each have a Defense column and an Attack column of three-monster teams:

• Defenses list the meta teams from the weekly defense meta import first, then SWLens trending teams, then community teams by usage.
• The Siege card’s NAT4 button shows only teams of natural 4★ and lower monsters.
• View all in builder opens the Siege or WGB Builder (a subscription is needed; otherwise a “Subscription Required” window lists the plans).

Trending Caiross dungeon teams

“Top community-optimized teams for Giants, Dragons & Necropolis” in three cards — Giants Keep B12, Dragons Lair B12 (coming soon) and Necropolis B12. Each lists trending teams, then community teams built on a known working turn order, plus a Beginner team (“Beginner friendly”). Badges read Trending / Hot / Warming up, or show the usage count. To optimise one of these teams for your runes, use the Caiross Workshop.

The All monsters tab

“Search, filter & sort every monster — pick rate, win rate, bans, lead rate & usage scores.” Open it with the tab, the Full table button, or /webapp/bestiary?tab=all. It lists every monster seen in ranked RTA across all recorded seasons (collab versions are merged into the original).

Controls

Columns

The table shows 50 monsters per page with Previous / Next; click a row to open the monster page.

How the numbers work

Monster pages

Every monster has its own page at /webapp/monster/<id>-<name> — for example Tiana (Wind Polar Queen). Monster pages keep the Bestiary header on top, so you can search again or switch to All monsters at any time.

The header

• Identity — portrait (framed in the element colour, with the leader skill icon), name, “Family” line and a collab logo where relevant.
• Badges — element, role (Attack, Defense, HP or Support), natural stars (orange for second-awakened monsters) and the leader skill (“Leader +N% stat · area”).
• Element switcher — five buttons that open the same family in another element (its 2A version when there is one), keeping your tab.
• RTA block — “RTA · S38” (the season) and a View RTA data button that opens the Trends tab.

The tiles follow the Season picked on the Matchups tab. Below them sit the Base stats band (“Level 40 · 6★ awakened”: HP, ATK, DEF, SPD, CR, CD, RES, ACC) and the Recommended build band: the top rune sets, the top slot 2 / 4 / 6 main stats, the top four substats, and Scales with — the stats its skills’ damage scales on.

The tabs

Seven tabs sit on the header’s bottom edge; the last three are grouped under RTA. Each tab has its own address (?tab=…), so you can share or bookmark it, and once you scroll down a compact bar with the portrait and the tabs stays pinned under the top bar.

Where this monster shines

• Best in — the content where it scores highest, e.g. “Siege DEF · 72 / 100” (or the group when attack and defense are close, and “Tied for best” on a tie).
• RTA, Arena, Siege and WGB gauges from 0 to 100; Arena, Siege and WGB add attack and defense bars.
• Overall PvP — a combined score with its label, from Poor to Excellent.

Skills

One row per skill:

• icon, name, a cooldown badge (“Cooldown: N turns”), and Passive / AOE badges;
• effect pills — buffs in green, debuffs in red, with the chance when below 100% and an AOE mark;
• the description and the Damage multiplier formula with its stat tokens (ATK, DEF, MAX HP, SPD…);
• Level-up progress — open it to see every skill-up (damage, effect rate, cooldown, recovery).

Beside the skills, a card totals the Buffs, Debuffs and Roles (Stripper, Cleanser, Immunity, ATB Booster, ATB Reducer, CC, Healer, Reviver, Def Break, Atk Break, Branding, Buff Block — “AOE” when it hits every target).

About

A written summary of the monster: its stars and role, its top RTA build, where it is used, its best partners, the monsters it beats and the ones that counter it — with clickable monster names.

Two cards side by side: RTA builds (Real-Time Arena) and Siege builds (Guild Siege). Each card has:

PvP team compositions

• RTA synergy partners — the ten teammates it is drafted with most (“N uses”). Click one to filter the RTA teams to those with both monsters; Clear filter resets it.
• Four mode cards — RTA, Siege, World Guild Battle and Arena — list the most-used teams with the monster. Siege, WGB and Arena have an All / ATK / DEF switch.
• Each row shows the team (the page’s own monster framed in green), an attack (sword) or defense (shield) badge, and either “N uses”, a trending flame badge or “Beginner”. Lists open at 6 rows; Show more adds 10.
• Show owned only keeps only teams you can field from your imported box (and reveals the Build buttons — see below).

PvE team compositions

Cairos dungeon teams with the monster — Giants Keep B12, Dragons Lair B12 (coming soon) and Necropolis B12 — trending teams, the beginner team and proven turn orders. Try Kro (2A), who is in both beginner teams.

“Matchups & synergy” from ranked RTA battles at Punisher level and above (at least 3 games per pairing). Two filters apply to all five cards:

• Season — the live and previous season, “Since 10 Feb patch”, “S36 Pre-BP” or “All Seasons”. It also sets the header’s RTA tiles.
• Elements — hide opponents and partners of an element (at least one stays on).

Each card sorts by WR (default) or Use, opens at 8 rows with Show more, and every monster opens its own page. With your JSON imported, Best partners and Best trios get an Owned toggle. The View teams button on a partner or trio opens the full teams that contain them, filterable by grade (Punisher+, Guardian I+, Guardian III+, All), owned only and usage or win rate.

The RTA tabs use the site’s default season.

“Top players using this monster” — sorted by rank, at least 3 games this season, with games and win rate counted for this monster only. Columns: list rank, season leaderboard rank, player (opens their RTA profile), server, score, grade, games, win rate and Teams → View, which shows the teams that player runs it in.

• Season chips: the last three seasons, each Special League (SL38 …) and All.
• Wins only — battles its team won. Owned only — battles where you own the whole team (needs your JSON).
• Grade: All, Challenger, Fighter+, Conq+, Punisher+, Guardian+ or Legend (either player).

Each row shows Victory or Defeat from the side that drafted the monster, both players with their rank and score, and both drafts in pick order (“1st”, the leader’s crown, the banned pick greyed with ✕, and a crosshair on this monster). Load more adds 25.

From a monster to the builders

1. Log in and import your SWEX JSON (how).
2. Open a monster’s Teams tab and switch on Show owned only.
3. Click Build on a team, e.g. “Build this team in Siege Builder (DEF mode)”. SWLens prepares the team with the versions you own and opens the builder:

The builders need the matching plan: Premium, or Basic with that builder chosen (Arena is in every paid plan; the Caiross Workshop is Premium only). Without it, a “Subscription Required” window lists the options.
