Tier list Sword X Staff Fantomon: os melhores pets ranqueados (agosto de 2026)

Hello Players! Fantomons are one of the most important long-term progression systems in Sword X Staff. They provide passive stats, Assist Skills, and, once Materialization is unlocked, additional abilities that can directly influence how your character performs in combat.

Season 2 has made Fantomon selection more important than simply chasing rarity. Cooldown reduction, DEF Reduction, Dispel, healing, and survivability can all provide more value than raw Fantomon damage.

What Are Fantomons?

Fantomons are pet companions that you can deploy alongside your character. They provide passive stat boosts and can materialize directly in combat once triggered. The system unlocks at account level 50 through the giant tree at your home base.

You can deploy up to four Fantomons at once. Your main slot pet contributes 100% of its stats and appears in battle, while the three secondary slots each contribute 50%. In addition, every Fantomon you own — including those that are not deployed — contributes 20% of its stats through the resonance system. This means collecting more Fantomons is always beneficial, even if most of them never take the main slot.

One important distinction is that your main stat slot and combat slot are separate decisions. The Fantomon in your main slot provides 100% passive stats but is not automatically the one that fights. Always place your highest-rarity Fantomon in the main stat slot regardless of its combat role.

Fantomon Rarity and Pull Rates

Fantomons come in four rarity tiers: Mythic (SSR), Legendary (SR), Epic (R), and Rare (N). The game currently has two Mythic Fantomons: Aegiswing and Nyxarchon, both available from the shop for 60 Summon Crystals each. Sylvaerie is available for 18 Summon Crystals, but Mythic Fantomons are significantly stronger and should generally be prioritized.

The gacha rates at the summoning tree are:

A pity system guarantees at least 1 Summon Crystal every 10 pulls. Before spending your resources, keep in mind that evolution requires a duplicate copy of the same Mythic Fantomon. If you plan to evolve your Mythic, make sure you are prepared to obtain two copies of your chosen Fantomon, as evolution unlocks the Materialization form at level 108.

Sword X Staff Fantomon Tier List

S-Tier

A-Tier

B-Tier

S Tier Fantomons

S-Tier Fantomons offer more than additional damage. Their core effects can influence your rotation, improve survivability, or increase the damage dealt by your entire team.

Pandarial

Pandarial is one of the most valuable Fantomons in the current meta.

Its Assist Skill, Ink Burst, reduces the cooldown of every Technique by one turn at the start of battle and grants a DMG Boost for the entire fight. For builds that rely on important Techniques with opening cooldowns, this effect can significantly improve the first few turns of combat.

After Materialization, Verdant Spikes can apply Fragility to enemies, while Emerald Dew heals nearby allies at the start of Pandarial's turn. This gives Pandarial a strong combination of damage support, debuffing, and healing.

Nyxarchon

Nyxarchon remains one of the safest offensive Fantomon investments.

Requiem Blast triggers after damaging Techniques, dealing Dark DMG to one target and enemies within two grids while applying one stack of 10% DEF Reduction. The effect can stack up to three times, allowing Nyxarchon to reach 30% DEF Reduction. Large targets may also receive multiple hits.

This is what keeps Nyxarchon at the top of the damage meta. DEF Reduction does more than increase the Fantomon's own damage — it also increases the value of subsequent attacks from your character and allies.

Current Conqueror, Dominator, and Archmage builds continue to rate Nyxarchon among their strongest Fantomon choices.

Aegiswing

Aegiswing is the premier defensive Fantomon.

Radiant Sanctuary grants Guardian Angel for three turns at the start of battle. When the effect expires, the character restores 50% of lost HP and gains Power Unsealed for the remainder of the fight.

Materialization provides additional Taunt access, Retribution, and reduced damage taken from Taunted enemies. These effects give Aegiswing excellent synergy with Guardian and other defensive setups.

A Tier Fantomons

A-Tier Fantomons are excellent choices when their utility matches the encounter. Several of them become significantly stronger after Materialization.

Kels

Kels is one of the biggest winners from Season 2.

Purging Spell deals Water DMG after a damaging Technique and removes one random enemy buff. After Materialization, Water Drill also has a 50% base chance to reduce enemy DEF by 20% for two turns.

This gives Kels two valuable tools in a single slot: Dispel and DEF Down. Guardian team setups can particularly benefit from Materialized Kels when these effects are needed.

Zeioletus

Zeioletus remains one of the strongest SSR damage Fantomons.

Lotus Step follows damaging Techniques with Light AoE damage, launches nearby enemies airborne, and deals 20% additional damage against large targets.

It is particularly useful for progression and wave clearing, especially for players who have not yet built a premium Rainbow Fantomon.

Sylvaerie

Sylvaerie provides a straightforward but useful buff package.

Wind Embrace increases ATK and SPD after the character's turn, improving both damage output and action economy.

On well-developed characters, these buffs can sometimes outperform Zeioletus' direct damage. Current Dominator recommendations suggest testing both Fantomons, as the better option can depend on your gear and overall stats.

Terragon

Terragon focuses on weakening enemy offense.

Sandstone Shot follows damaging Techniques with Physical DMG and has a 50% base chance to reduce enemy ATK by 25%. After Materialization, Falling Sand can also reduce enemy DMG.

This effect is less important in easy farming content but becomes more valuable when facing bosses that pose a serious threat to the entire team. Guardian Guild Boss setups can also benefit from Terragon when additional mitigation is needed.

B Tier Fantomons

B-Tier Fantomons are still perfectly usable, especially while progressing through the game, but there are stronger options to prioritize for long-term investment.

Armopi

Armor Protection builds DEF Up stacks and converts three stacks into a DEF-based shield. Materialization provides an additional shield for the owner.

Armopi can be very useful during early Knight progression, but its priority in active combat drops considerably once Aegiswing is developed. In Season 2, Guardian players will generally get more long-term value from transitioning toward Aegiswing.

Chomusuke

After a damaging Technique, Chomusuke enables an additional Physical AoE attack with a 50% base chance to reduce enemy DEF by 15%.

Its lower rarity limits its long-term stat value, but DEF Reduction remains useful enough to make Chomusuke a viable option for Guardian support setups, especially during progression.

Mandragora

Natural Power heals one target whenever the character uses a Technique on allies, making Mandragora particularly useful for healing-focused Sage builds.

Its main weakness is its specialization. It provides additional healing without offering much extra damage or utility. For dedicated healers, however, Mandragora can perform above its overall tier.

Herbote

When the character starts a turn below 80% HP, Herbote restores HP and has a 50% chance to cleanse one status ailment or debuff.

Its Materialization kit also provides additional healing and a random ATK, DEF, or SPD buff.

The utility is useful, but its triggers and overall impact are less consistent than those of higher-tier alternatives.

Boaro

Every cumulative 15% of Max HP lost triggers a DEF-based shield, with the effect activating up to five times per battle.

Boaro is a useful defensive option during early progression but eventually falls behind more complete tank Fantomons.

Falko

Golden Flash follows damaging Techniques with Physical AoE damage, giving Falko solid early-game wave-clearing ability.

Zeioletus eventually fills a similar role more effectively by adding airborne crowd control and additional damage against large enemies.

Best Fantomon for Every Class

Nyxarchon remains one of the best offensive Fantomons for several current builds. Pandarial becomes especially valuable when reducing opening Technique cooldowns can improve your rotation, while Aegiswing remains the premium defensive option for Guardian.

Pandarial vs Nyxarchon vs Aegiswing

For most players, this is one of the most important Fantomon investment decisions.

Choose Pandarial for Faster Rotations

Pandarial is the best choice when your build relies on high-value Techniques with opening cooldowns.

Reducing those cooldowns by one turn can significantly change your opening sequence and allow key abilities to be used earlier.

Best for: Rotation-heavy DPS, PvP, hybrid builds, and characters that rely on key Techniques early in combat.

Choose Nyxarchon for Damage

Nyxarchon's stackable DEF Reduction makes it one of the safest choices for sustained damage.

Best for: DPS, bosses, Guild Boss, and longer fights.

Choose Aegiswing for Survival

If your main problem is surviving rather than meeting a damage check, Aegiswing provides the most direct solution.

Best for: Guardian, Knight, difficult PvE, and PvP.

Fantomon Deployment and Passive Stats

The Fantomon system unlocks at account level 50. Four Fantomons can be placed in the primary deployment setup, while the rest of your collection continues to contribute passive stats.

Your highest-rarity Fantomon is therefore usually valuable in a high-stat deployment slot, but the Fantomon you actively use in combat should be selected based on the encounter. The main stat slot and combat Fantomon do not have to be the same pet.

Fantomon Resonance and Upgrade Priority

Fantomon Resonance uses the lowest level among your four deployed Fantomons as the resonance level applied to the rest of your collection.

If all four deployed Fantomons reach level 108, for example, your other Fantomons are treated as level 108 for resonance purposes.

This makes balanced investment more efficient than heavily overleveling a single Fantomon.

Recommended Upgrade Order

Decide on four Fantomons for your long-term deployment setup.

Keep their levels relatively close.

DPS players should prioritize Nyxarchon or Pandarial.

Guardian players should prioritize Aegiswing.

Build Kels and Terragon when additional team utility becomes important.

Avoid heavily investing in SR Fantomons that you expect to replace later.

Re-evaluate your active Fantomon after unlocking Materialization.

How to Spend Summon Crystals

The Fantomon Tree has a 0.8% base SSR rate and a 5% SR rate, while every 10 pulls guarantees at least one Summon Crystal. Aegiswing and Nyxarchon traditionally cost 60 Summon Crystals each in the Mythic exchange.

Pandarial joins the Summon Crystal exchange starting August 18, 2026.

For players with limited resources:

Want more flexibility? → Pandarial

Want maximum DPS? → Nyxarchon

Main Guardian? → Aegiswing

If Materialization is your long-term goal, remember that duplicate requirements matter. Do not plan your resources around obtaining only the first copy.

Sword X Staff Fantomon Tier List FAQ

What is the best Fantomon in Sword X Staff?

Pandarial, Nyxarchon, and Aegiswing are the strongest overall choices, but each specializes in a different area. Pandarial focuses on Technique tempo, Nyxarchon on damage and DEF Reduction, and Aegiswing on survivability.

What is the best Fantomon for DPS?

Nyxarchon remains one of the safest pure offensive picks, especially for bosses. Pandarial can outperform traditional damage options when reducing opening Technique cooldowns creates a stronger rotation.

What is the best Fantomon for Guardian?

Aegiswing. Its recovery, Taunt interactions, and Materialization effects make it the premier defensive Fantomon for Guardian.

What is the best Fantomon for Sage or Dominator?

For DPS, Nyxarchon remains a top choice. For healer or hybrid setups, Pandarial is particularly valuable, while Mandragora remains a useful budget healing option.

Is Kels worth building?

Yes. After Materialization, Kels combines Dispel with a potential 20% DEF Reduction, making it a strong support choice in Season 2.

Is Zeioletus or Sylvaerie better?

It depends on your account. Zeioletus provides immediate AoE damage, crowd control, and bonuses against large targets. Sylvaerie increases your character's ATK and SPD, so its value can scale better with a well-developed build. Testing both is the best way to determine which fits your setup.

Conclusion

The Sword X Staff Fantomon meta has changed significantly with Season 2 and the introduction of Materialization.

Pandarial, Nyxarchon, and Aegiswing are currently the three most important premium Fantomons, but each serves a different purpose.

Pandarial accelerates Technique rotations while adding Fragility and healing after Materialization. Nyxarchon remains an excellent boss and DPS option thanks to its stackable DEF Reduction. Aegiswing continues to be the strongest defensive choice for Guardian, PvP, and difficult PvE content.

Kels, Zeioletus, Sylvaerie, and Terragon are also excellent investments when their strengths match your class or the encounter.
