DLC Spirit Ashes.

[bluehawk188]

So I have a few of the new ashes and I REALLY want to try one out. Which of them do you think might be the best one in general?
I already use the mimic tear but I also use the assassin one. I want to mess with a new one.

Which would you suggest as the best?

[That One Person]

I've found the Divine Bird Warrior Ornis to be really fun! Very aggressive and can take a good amount of hits, as well as doing some decent damage (also, they look sick)

There's also of course, Yosh (Yoda), who is also very aggressive and fast, he's easily stance broken though

[Indigent]

dung eater is the best

[Van Silke]

I liked Andreas. Best tank I've had.

[Aradner]

there is no "might" be best. Stone golem. It is the best. Its borderline immortal, AI is to stupid to hit its weakspot

Edit: Taylew the Golem Smith to be precise

[Despiser]

Why not just try them out to see for yourself?

Not enough great glovewarts. If I'm going to try it, it's all or nothing.

I was talking about the new DLC summons, please.

Jolan and Anna are the best that I've tried out, they're pretty fantastic. Last I knew there's a bug with them where if you upgrade Jolan independently before changing the ash to Jolan and Anna together then the upgrades don't get applied correctly though. Just so you know.

Soljars of fortune say high, also the skeletons trigger it even if they ressurect.

Bigmouth Imp isn't the strongest, but he's good fire support if you want a ranged summon.

Taylew will always be a good choice , lack of dps compensated by heavy tankiness.

Others are more situational (greatly effective on certain boss , very useless on other:

Ornis , Jolan & Anna , Florissax , Yosh , Messmer soldiers , Inquisitor , Bigmouth.

Bigmouth imp is just free damage. If you just melee the boss and keep their aggro on you, it can just do constant damage. It's less useful against bosses with massive aoe attacks that basically go through most, if not the whole boss room. In other words, useless against bosses like Godfrey, but really good against Malenia.

There is a challenge video using only dlc spirit ashes and healing miracles out there.

In that video it did seem like the dlc spirit ashes were generally over performing.

I used the golem to tank my first playthough while I laid down spell support.

In that role golem was actually tankier then mimic.

Haven't used summons since then.
