*ONLY use CR on slot 4 if you can't get enough Crit Rate substats. Keep in mind these are just general recommendations, you will need to alter your rune and stat builds based on what content you want to use this monster for and what team you are using him with. 

If you’re looking for detailed rune and stat builds you should take a look at SWMaster’s Rune Farming Guide – I have been a member of their site since I was new to Summoners War and would highly recommend it to all players.

RANKING

GB12 (6/10): Chow is a good damage dealer and sustain monster for early Giants B12 teams until you get better monsters for speed runs.

​​

DB12 (6/10): He's a good sustain monster since he heals himself and heals himself from the DoTs in Dragons B2.

​​

NB12 (0/10): He lacks any multi hits to break through the boss' shield.

​​

ToA (0/10): He lacks AoE attacks and is not useful here.

​​

Rift of Worlds (7/10): He can be used as a sustaining damage dealer in R5. His leader skill improves the survival rate of your team in Fire Rift Beast.

​

Labyrinth (3/10): He can be used here but there are better options.

​

Dimensional Hole (10/10): He is great for the elemental restriction stage.

​

Arena (7/10): Chow is a good damage dealer, however, you mainly want cleave teams to farm Arena.

​​

Guild Wars (9/10): He's good for sustain teams here to chisel down your opponent and is great against teams with shield and invincibility like Khmun and Chloe.

RTA (9/10): He serves a similar role here as in Guild content and is great against fire heavy teams.
