What are in your opinion the best spirit summons?

[Humpenstilzchen]

Just out of curiousity I though I start a discussion where people coud post their preferred summons and maybe explain why they are better in some situations or others.

I´m still a rooky and don´t have that much experience but for me the skelletal millitia ashes do seem to be quite ok for now since they constantly get back up (I´m only lvl53 btw).

So what are in your opinion the best spirits and why?

mimic tear summon, basically copies your character; but stronger.

Mimic tear is godtier, Black Knife Tiche is also pretty solid, but a stronger copy of yourself with unlimited FP is even moreso.

[Jeny]

Luthel the headless is godtier, shield+spear, can teleport, range and melee attack, but yeah mimic is also super strong

[Mad Hawaiian]

Mimic Tear and that headless spear summon. Both are amazing.

[RabidBurp]

Fanged Imp Ashes are pretty good in the early-midgame if you take them as the parting gift. They crit fairly often and can chain stagger enemies while you move in for the kill.

[Hunny]

My top would be Mimic as its hella strong.

Lhutel the Headless, though she have a tendency dropping aggro wish makes some fights annoying.

Cleanrot Knight Finlay, though get her so late is hard to tell how effective she will be, seems really strong though.

Ancient Dragon Knight Kristoff, when you need something to tank for you.

All quite expensive to summon and all uses Ghost one for upgrading.

[Omegatherion]

Skeleboys are great because they come back as long as the enemy doesn't hit their corpses again, but nothing tops the mimic with so much more HP than you, infinite FP and if you give him the meat he can even heal himself three times

[Humpenstilzchen]

Yea this Luthel the headless is the next on my list to get and I heard Oleg is also quite good. Definitly need to check this mimic thing out as well.

early on each npc serves a unique function. jelly can tank. skeletons can keep respawning if the enemy doesnt use an aoe. wolves can stunlock certain enemies etc.

after that once you get to the 100+ mp cost summons its more personal preference. the summons get to a point where they can just solo most bosses if you keep them upgraded.

Oh really? Wow. Well I only used them as distraction so far but the ones I have are fragile anyway.

there are a couple that can compete with mimic tears, the black blade assasin does a flat percentage of an enemy's HP with one of her attacks, but nothing beaths the mimics cost, any one can summon it, making it the best all rounder.

[Codester]

Mimic Tear.

Early game, skeletal militia are very good. They don't do much damage and they die kinda fast, but they just keep getting back up.

Then there is mimic tear which is just completely broken. I leveled it to 10 and stopped using it, just way, way too strong. I guess if I ever get stuck on something again I could use it as a like an "easy mode".

Currently using the great shield guys when I need a tanky summon. Trying to level FP enough to use one of the cooler summons.

[dustin1280]

Skeletal Militia is one of the best early summons
Great Shield Tank team is good
Mimic is god tier and completely broken
Most of the "elite" summons are generally very very good (insanely so) if fully upgraded...

I like the marionette archers a lot, but partly because I don't find them too strong to the point that they're carrying the fight for me. But it's hilarious how many arrows the enemy gets pin cushioned by when they aren't targeted.
