Summon Monster

[Tom Nook]

Hello!

I'm currently in Act 4 (lvl15) and have been playing purely as a monster tac. I'm enjoying the use of my summon monster 8, which provides the max amount of soul eaters. I just wanted to know if it was worth it to continue as a monster tac up to summoner monster 9 (at lvl17). I'm not sure how thanadaemons and frost giants perform in comparison. People seem to like the bogeyman but they seem to just debuff my team while failing to use phantasmal on anything. Any input on this would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Summon monster is great through most of the game, but you're right that the final summon monster spells aren't as useful late game due to scaling enemy stats.

They are still great meat shields (think Mastodons), and they can be useful as follow up to crowd control spells like Icy Prison (when it's working again).

But honestly if you're at the point where you can reliably disable your enemies then you don't really need summons.
