[@Hauke-ph5ui]

@SwanyPlaysGames I think it would be interesting to see a more detailed ranking. Something like using a point based system in four different categories: 1) damage potential which includes inflicting status effects 2) survivability which means how good is the summon in surviving in regular fights (meaning not on its own but when used in tandem with the player fighting) 3) tank potential - as in can the summon draw the aggro off of the char (like the Mimic using Shabriri's Woe or some form of aggro ability) and general tankiness 4) utility - meaning does it have buffs, heals etc. Most summons would score a solid 0 in this category of course because most don't have any such abilities Then instead of using a strict S to F tier scale I'd use a point ranking from 0 to 6 for each category and then do a fifth and final list adding the points together and rank the overall strength based on the total score (0-2 points = F-tier, 3-5 = E-Tier etc until summons with 18+ points end up in the S-Tier). This would allow people to pick summons depending on overall strength or depending on individual strengths and weaknesses if they don't want to Mimic-stomp everything all the time.

[@EC-rk2zl]

Why did you rate the Jolan and Anna summon so highly? I can't seem to get them to work well in any of my tests. They can't even kill the first Zamor Knight on the road at Zamor ruins (Mountaintop of the giants) without direct buffing or assistance from me

[@ac1dnet]

i feel like the horned warrior was easily preforming at an s tier level in the footage and in how you were describing it and then you almost gave it b tier lmao it sent that fire knight flying that guy is badass

[@Based_investor]

Most other creators rank it in the top 5 of dlc summons

[@cocojam8119]

right?! i was like "are you kidding me, after all the praise etc. you want to put him in HIGH B Tier or LOW A Tier???" This list is biased af haha

[@desantinotafrancesco2639]

The glovewort crystal tear gives your spirit summon a 20% damage boots for 3 minutes, id say thats pretty massive.

[@MattDean-o1t]

Absolutely

[@vandagylon2885]

It's decent

[@BingusBungos]

If you use a bleed build, or any of the spirit ashes like Jolan and Anna. Use moghs great rune, every blood proc will proc the lord of bloods exultation. Which will give another 20% buff, and moghs great rune already buffs ashes by making them more aggressive.

[@HS-hx8ti]

The big question is: Are any of them better than the Dung Eater?

[@christophermartinez6837]

I'm glad someone said it..... he still out does all my other summons and is tanky, yet stupid debuffs enemy and does wonky damage, especially if you buff him and then add that new talisman to buff them and play aggro with him

[@Crescendance]

No, and here's why... Both Black Knife Tiche, and Dung Eater both have really nice debuffs that can't go unrecognized. Dung Eater debuffs the enemy to suffer more blood loss buildup, from all sources, making everything that deals blood loss more effective. Tiche, has a ranged 10% health debuff that lasts a long time and can be used back to back (which is good cause it is DoT that hits hard). She also has dodges that rivals Malenia's. All those twin knight do is their own bleed damage, which can't/won't be accentuated like you can when using Mimic, or like what Dung Eater's, Shriek of Milos, can do for you...

[@NikukaiFightOn]

If you finish the video you'd see that they stated Dung Eater is still one of the best summons in the game.

[@ruffgook]

Mimic tear is the only summon that matters.

[@zebbernholtz5550]

I mean, you ain’t wrong. Literally another you…

[@mrtrip3018]

Mimic is the most boring summon ever

[@kubakowalik6598]

@@zebbernholtz5550 when you use your weapon offhand, or use something else offhand for passive/ash, or when you have different weapon just for buff (like Endure/Grafted)... mimic will go dumb and use that instead of main weapon. So you have to cripple your build to make mimic work. Meanwhile Dungeater will debuff boss -15% to all resistance, which makes you deal more dmg. I far prefer using unique summons instead of Mimic.

[@whoeveruwantittobe]

I appreciate you adding in comparisons to the base game summons.

Still wish bladid was a summon

[@chainsofdoom3465]

Wow holy shit you’re right!

[@monhi64]

Blaidd right? Yeah he would be sick as a summon although speaking of which I’d kill for an Iji summon even more. The lack makes him one of the relatively few enemy types that doesn’t have a summon. Admittedly doesn’t make much sense since I’ve never seen Iji fight but I’d do anything for him not to be completely dead

[@alexgamer426]

In my opinion they should make that the summon power and health scale whit every ng+ bc the summon after some ng+ start getting oneshot bc theyr health is the same at the first ng and it make most of the summon useless to use when the only one that can survive more than 2 minute is mimic tear

They need a summons randomizer. For 50 FP you randomly summon one of the ashes you've found.

Bestial Vitality costs 18fp and heals 600 hp. By my math mimic costs 18 fp.

[@brucemitchell2711]

I really believe your first S tier is good but a lot of your A tiers you picked is actually better then your first choice

[@allinyourhands]

I really wish the game had a talisman or a tear that lets you summon anywhere so I can make a beautiful healer build in a white dress(the one that boosts summons). If it is a crystal tear though it has to be reusible after a time period or smth to keep things balanced.

[@TinMan89537]

Apparently if you bring along the Blessing of Merika and summon the Mimic Tear, it will use it to fully heal when it gets low in health. The item is a one time use for the player, but the Mimic can use it every time it get s summoned!

As the player, you can actually use 3 since three are available in the game 🙌 only one can be in your inventory at a time tho

[@Thebasicwhisper]

Also the new heal from afar works both ways for you and mimic

[@Litoh14]

Honorable mention: if you're playing a pure dps mage, the greatshield soldier Ashes are capable of holding the bosses' aggro like no other summon in the game, plus they are particularly tankier than others because they keep their greatshield up most of the time.

[@LimitedIntros]

Plus they pair well with the physic tear that increases your damage every time a summon dies (the buff timer resets every time a soldier goes down)

[@Blueberry_Koi]

​@LimitedIntros it's a talisman, the dried bouquet

Well, I’d say he was consistent in one way. I listened to his commentary of each summon’s abilities, and then he usually posted them higher than I expected, with too many sitting at “A” tier.

[@Vorael]

I think especially with the DLC, you need to factor in speed a lot more. Sometimes it's hard for summons to even get in the fight, since bosses are so fast and cover so much distance with their jumps and attacks. Meera's not amazing but he's fast enough to get back into the fight when the boss changes targets mid-27 hit combo and jumps 500 yards over to smack you, whereas the second Taylew loses aggro he's basically out of the fight. I think for that reason he and some of the other slower ashes should be lower on the list.

[@vincelupo8419]

For real. I used the 5 great soldiers against a horse based boss in the dlc to just swarm him with targets and make it hard for him to maneuver. The best summon is the one that works for your given situation.

[@NathanTruby]

Mimic Tear should have its own 'Mimic Tier' since its usefulness varies depending on your personal build.

[@Final_Word01]

Jolan and Anna basically the upgraded version of twin imps

[@djbreal87]

So on my first play through I got Jolan summon not knowing about the sword. Upgraded to 10 to see how it is.

[@c1deon363]

just tested him against tree sentinel. Tree sentinel almost got the shield bash attack off, but gigachad warrior just smacked him out of the animation with his body bash. That was sick

[@chaz706]

There's something else to consider about weaker summons: there's a talisman (It looks like a Bouquet of withered flowers. It's found in Belurat) that gives you a boost to your attack power (%20 I think) everytime your summons die. If multiple summons are made: they all count individually... but the bonus won't stack.

[@Crescendance]

You can also get the Glovewort Crystal Tear to make your summons do more damage. Just have to kill a furnace golem for it.

[@phroz3n]

jolan/anna are glass cannons though, they dont last long at all in boss fights, id rather have a tanky meat shield to just take at least some aggro so i can hit the fucking enemies once in a while.

I think Jolan and Anna suck ass😅 Fully upgraded, they still get squished super quickly with pretty much every boss in the DLC. They work good against early bosses in the main game.

[@larryglasper7605]

Dude you are just to KIND, they ALL suck. Mimic tears rules them ALL for base game and DLC. At level 713 I should know.

I dont agree with the Jolan and Anna summon unfortunately. Summon them at Ancient Zamor Ruins. They cant even kill the first ice warrior on the road.

[@mrfrost6211]

He just has a bias for dragon girls with mid lightning i see

[@AlexanderMaurer-w1v]

Summons like the Black Knight Commander Andreas work really well when you play a ranged build, a mage for example. Also Ancient Dragonknight Kristof or Lhutel the Headless from the base game work perfectly as tanky summons. Also the Greatshield Soldiers! They are insane against many bosses because often they will just pin the boss in a corner for you to deal your damage

[@shockstormswag]

Should definitely use the talisman the keeps the Argo on you when using the glass Canon summons

[@Neonmirrorblack]

Sadly, none of them are as good as Dung Eater, Tiche and Mimic. Yosh is the best of the DLC summons, but still doesn't equal the previous. IIRC, he also seems to build up frostbite as well. My current build was using Ice Spear, but I am pretty sure I've seen him actually cause buildup on top of mine so that his strikes would actually proc the debuff/health loss. I kept wanting to use a new summon, but for literally every boss, Dung Eater outperformed ALL of them. Also, Mimic sucks and has always sucked on caster builds unless you intentionally weaken yourself by only having one spell slotted since the AI is so awful. For bosses Mimic might be "good" with one specific spell, but then they're garbage against trash enemies. Dung Eater is phenomenal at everything.

[@davidryan8547]

[@niklasmitfussl2639]

[@lordgoro]

WHY is this concept so difficult? IF your character is SQUISHY, so is the Mimic tear, if anything, its UNDERPOWERED!!

[@DeadEndScreamer]

I don't know what verson of the game you were playing but in my experience Ancient Dragon Florissax is by no means a glass canon, she tends to survive way longer than even Jolan and Anna in most boss fights, I tested three summons against same bosses to see who survives the longest and contributes the most to a fight between Teach Florissax and J&A and the verdict is Florissax is a tank but not as fast or as agressive although she makes up for it with ranged lightning attack, J&A deal best damage especially if bleed is on the table and have the numbers davantage but tend to be ablet to take around 75% of the damage that Florissax can survive and get staggered more easily and Teach gets crushed in the dlc in terms of HP not even 50% of Florissax. Maybe they threw more health and armor her way in an update or something but Florissax in an absolte tank now, and that's not counting her selfbuff and hyperarmor when casting dragon claw. Just for reference the bosses I tested them quite a lot against were Skadutree avatar, Metyr mother of fingers and Midra.

[@alexking.1989]

Are you kidding me? You: “This one isn’t good.” Puts them at S tier. ☠️🤡 also you: “This one did the most damage then everyone else…” B tier 🤡 here I was thinking it was a proper list

How would you rate them then

[@fiddlinman_1playsgames641]

I think he means that based on some of Swany's descriptions and praise, he will speak more highly of a summon then give it a middling rating compared to a summon that was just OK. That and the list should be more like a bell curve than it is. The latter is common with YTers though.

[@monhi64]

@@fiddlinman_1playsgames641I get why you’re saying it should be a bell curve but the more I think about it I’m not sure how true that is. Their strengths aren’t really random you could definitely have a set where a lot of the summons are strong relative to the average or weak relative to the average. I guess it’s kinda up to opinion how much you want to rank them with a bell curve in mind

[@JOSHISRANDOM]

13:21 sounds like me in my first fight against the dlc bosses lmfao took forever to beat them, especially the final dlc boss

[@Trollripper]

Sorry but this is one of the worst ratings i have ever seen. Let me clarify. You put Horned Bois below S Tier even when getting Rellana to half HP by their own while Fortussy cant even play alone. This alone is enough to question your rating. Its purely based on "feelings" and nothing else. Horny Bois have shown they are capable against everything. Now lets go with how you rate things.. they should have been already in S-Tier simply because of the argument you made about Fortussy.. when used in tandem or if you hold aggro, they will deal fuck ton of damage. Im not even sure what else to tell here anymore.

[@widedog7397]

The spider scorpion ashes description explains the way they spawn. It’s like how the Land Squirts summons spawn in a weird way too.

[@greysontruszkowski7581]

I was exploring the dlc while watching this and randomly just fell through the ground. Anyone else have this happen?

[@imarealweenie]

Some summons have their uses, some are fun to use, but if you need one, there are only two options: Dung Eater for casters and Mimic for everybody else. Even Tiche is relatively supportive in comparison to these two. As of the DLC, none of them is the ultimate summon; none of them is S-tier. First of all, realistically, you only need summons for hard bosses. So there’s no point in testing them on mobs. Horned is good, probably even as good as Tiche, but why use him if there’s a better summon? The Golem sucks against every boss with a fast move set, which is pretty much every boss in the game. The Twins are squishy, and the Dragon even more.

[@arturo163]

Sadly I only found 1 of the new spirit ashes to be worth using compared to the best from the base game 1. Mimic Tear 2. Dung Eater 3. Divine Bird Warrior Ornis 4. Omenkiller Rollo 5. Nepheli Loux

[@dcmanuel7232]

Sorry, but you seem VERH inconsistent about how you describe the spirit functioning and where you then rank them. Unless there is a good reason, using the term "ok" means they should NEVER be higher than C tier. It appears to me that 80% of your tier rankings should all be one Tier lower than where you placed them.

[@jaxman1235]

I've used Mimic Tear for a long time. Tried other Summons, but they don't last long. Sometimes will use "EardTree Heal" to heal Summons if needed. I hear others say "This one is best, That one is the best," but they die quickly or can't hold aggro.

A summon you get from an extended quest with multiple invasions should not be that bad.

Horned warrior is 100% S tier and the best in fact in the DLC. His damage is stupid, his agro control is top notch and his stagger procs so much. I urge everyone I know to get it because he will carry you

[@MapleTombstoneMT3]

pretty disappointing that mimic is still the best by far…. I think they really screwed themselves by having it in the first place. It just removes an entire component of the game for most players. Mimic is on the edge of too strong already, so what do you do? Maybe add 2 more versions of Mimic, one focused on healing and the other on damage?

[@craigheartwell5142]

Except that the mimic seems to be spending way too much time txting on the phone or something... in the base game the mimic felt aggressive, now I don't use mine much because there are many better tanks that will draw aggro in a situation where my mimic will stand around, get run over, and watch while I get all the aggro and wonder why I invited him. It feels that the mimic AI was nerfed but FromSoft never bothered to document it?

[@bbnnmm9]

I find shabriri woe is helpful if you equip it then summon mimic tear, then take yours off, and the mobs tend to chase her down more so I can dps and rebuff, I like hitting them with blessing of erdtree too, just to keep mimic alive more

[@AlexanderVRadev]

Good. Video. Thanks. I have to say that mimic tear is in my opinion F tier trash summon in the DLC, which sucks. Now I can be mistaken as I use summons very rarely and only to test how some attacks do vs bosses if I struggle on them to learn what works well and use it in a real boss attempt, but I am convinced they lobotomized the mimic tier AI, as all it would ever do is stand next to me doing noting. Literally only thing it would ever do is sprint across the battlefield towards me when the boss chases me to the other end of the arena and never ever attack. No weapon attacks, no incantations, no sorceries, no ashes of war, no basic attacks just nothing. Only way I could get it to attack is if I go absolutely HAM on the boss for solid 1 0seconds for the summon to decide to sprint in and do something. It's as if they changed the AI to act as if you are the summon and the tier is the real hero. Waiting for you to draw all the agro diving head first into the fight and only when the Boss is throwing everything on you engaging. And then as soon as you try to disengage and shift agro, the tier nopes out and runs away refusing to fight once again. Anyone else have this experiance?

[@gustavovm491]

I think it has trouble keeping track of the more mobile bosses in the DLC. Against Radhan it threw a rot pot at the beginning and that's pretty much all it did besides healing itself when hurt by the aoe attacks. Didn't get the boss attention unless it was hugging him.
