[@deaddrop3772]

Not aggressive enough. She just teleports around, raising her shield, and occasionally throws her spear, and maybe goes in to stab a few times. The damage per hit is higher than most ashes, but I don't think it makes up for the downsides.

[@loganberkheimer1857]

@@deaddrop3772 The biggest thing ashes do is divert boss attention. They don't increase boss health when summoned, so they don't need to do as much damage, they need to survive, which she does with style

There are a few like that which suck for mages as the summon constantly tries to get back to you which draws boss to you. Irritating. Mimic for casters can be pretty dumb unfortunateky so good to have some new aggressive summons from DLC.

We have an altar of grand dragon communion in the dlc, maybe we were supposed to get the lightning dragon claw from beating the ancient lightning dragon before bayle, but they didn’t want to give lightning to dragon communion builds so it could stay with dragon cult :/

[@xXLunatikxXlul]

True

[@nadaburner]

You technically already have access to lightning if you are doing a dragon communion build. Honed Bolt and Lightning spear to name a few. PERSONALLY I think they refrained from giving it to us because of Bayle's Flame Lightning incantation (it would overlap in animation and function).

[@gamesstarthere]

Btw the golem solidly solos any and all bosses since you now have heal from afar. Its one of the only summons with high defenses but lower health meaning there is basically no chance of it suddenly dying in a damage burst.

On my first run of the DLC, I saw the Bigmouth Imp enemy and thought they were hilarious. I was really hoping to find a Bigmouth Imp Head to wear as a meme. I got so excited when I found the spirt ash, I just had to try it out. I don't normally use summons but have never been opposed to using them every now and then. This guy is awesome! I was using the Carian Thrusting Shield and heavy armor so this was the perfect summon for me. We had such great synergy because I frontlined and kept the enemy aggro, while he was my backrow that suppressed the boss with cannon fire. Felt like a squad based RPG at that point haha. Idk if it's just luck but I swear they always fire at exactly the right moment, too. I watched someone beat the final boss with just the Golem ash, so that one might be funny to try out

I honestly love spirit ashes. They have a lot of character and are balanced in such a way that no one spirit ash can suck the challenge out of the game. You can go sit in a corner and your strongest ash might only do 30% of the bosses health bar but there are so many different kinds of ashes with different styles, its fun to summon them and see what they have going on.

[@StumbleWarriorz]

Great video! I’m definitely using spirits for lots of the dlc. I wanted to try to do most major bosses without, but after fighting the Blackgaol knight again and again and again at scadu tree level 4 and not even taking 10% of his health off there’s no way on my first playthrough

[@easymodegaming7334]

Tested Jolan and Anna+10. Their damage seems extremely low. Health is also pretty low. Kinda useable if you are already running a mage build with lots of FP. If not you will need to spend a huge amount of level points in mind or give up a ring slot just to summon them. I knew they are not going to match mimic tiers power but I kinda wanted or hoping them to kinda fill the roll of greatshield gang. But sadly they don’t come close. I haven’t tested the tank golem dude. Seems like he maybe can fill the roll of greatshield gangs summon.

[@rk13567]

Black Knight Andreas was pretty chad the couple times I summoned him, surprised to see him that low

[@Mortiel]

Yeah, it's completely understandable but still sad that almost all Spirit Ashes don't really scale above like NG+4. I'm playing NG+7 and with RSA+10, Jolan and Anna get melted in seconds by every miniboss in SoE. It's really only the Mimic Tear that can keep up, since that scales with your stats. And I can't really fault the logic there... By NG+4, it's fair to expect a player to really not need the assistance of Spirit Ashes as much.

[@PolishGoblinn]

mesmer soldiers is my favourite ash, i dont play with ashes very often but I summoned them for this monkey dude yoda guy and they soloed him without me even hitting him once

I enjoy trying out different ones but the two problems are that if you can't heal them they die really quickly apart from the mimic, and also great ghost gloveworts basically don't exist (there's like 4 of them in game or sth), so if you aren't abusing save files you basically can't afford to experiment.

Some good ones The rats. They do it for free, and are tankier than you might think. They're the ultimate on deployment flexibility, requiring no FP, and while they aren't exactly powerhouses, they chip away for an entire fight, and there's more often than not at least one survivor to the very end of even harsh fights. Diseased Corpses: Legit, I think these are the most slept on ash. They're STUPIDLY good. They're damn near immortal, and hold aggro better than anything else. If all you want a summon for is to distract things, they're the champs. They're basically guaranteed to turn any 2v2 into a 1v2 in your favor. Latenna or whatever her name is: Finding good sniper spots for her is fun, and enemies turning into hedgehogs as they get covered with arrows is hilarious Ancestral Follower: He's a pretty tough and versatile guy. Doesn't really shine in any specific way, but is always a good pick, and a couple smaller bosses he can absolutely bully with his armor and high poise attacks. The Greatshield Gang: The like, 4 or 5 subterranean hollow dudes with greatshields. Minimal offensive presence, probably worse than Diseased corpses, but there's something magical about one of these little guys sliding in, and a boss' attack deflecting off the shield before it hits you.

0:13 I’m glad you said you aren’t against their existence, too many people shame inexperienced or experimental players for playing how they want so I’m glad that even though you don’t use said mechanic you still aren’t shaming people for trying/using them.

You should do a Consumables List after the weapon skills, we got a bunch of them in the expansion.

16:24 also just a correction on the flowerstone gavel debuff, Rusty. did a video recently and in the actual game data the debuff uncharged on hit is 23% but on a full charge it is 30%. So any lightning dmg source after the skill will be doing far more than i believe you said 12-15%. In other words it validates your point even more on how valuable this summon is.

bro done ranked everything but the weapons 🙏

[@tpemp]

now you gotta do the elden ring base game and dlc spirit ash tier list

[@dra6o0n]

If a mod can fix Spirit AI, might be interesting to combine with Seamless Coop. Or better yet, adding summonable field bosses as spirits.

[@alirezarezaei2976]

Did you use the levele 10 versions of the spirit ashes?

[@blackf4142]

I love when the thumbnail doesnt have the actual tierlist

9:01 Its funny, but not that you mention it, Berserk also had a weird reference to Yoda as part if a gag. In a way, maybe Yosh is also an extremely obscure Berserk reference.

Bro is grinding out Elden ring videos, respect the hustle tbf

I don't usually like to rely on spirit ashes much so I always pick one that matches my build. I did a ghostflame build and used the skeletal militiamen ashes, I did a fire build and used the fire monk ashes. Most recently I did a poison build and I used the spider scorpion ashes from the DLC. I don't mind if the spirit summon is bad, I just like having it tie in with my character
