Melee Summons

[Melchor]

id really like to try a corpse explosion run, but for that spell to really work i think there is a melee summon still missing from the game.

something that is small and cheap enough to spam, has a high enough summon limit like the pops and runs at enemies and chases them down.

something similar to the spiders from act 1 that try to jump on you, just for the player to summon.

i know you can kindof use tentacles and the pillars, but theyre not very optimal for this spell. especially since the tentacles are stationary.

Parasite spell boost might be what you are looking for. Don't know if explosion works on parasites though.

do the little parasites count as summons?

but corpse explosion damage scales based on the summons max health. even if the little parasites count as summons, can you even increase their max health like other summons with troll blood?

the books, the pops and the pillars can pop off. especially the books with mana drain in a wand with post charge slots with "on enemy hit" or "on spell cast".

because the books fire as fast as they have mana for a spell. so mana drain makes it look like theyre firing a constant laser.

you get 3 of them, and theyre triggering the post charge slots so fast that it can spam your entire screen full of whatever you put into them.

you can put something like pillars or tentacles into the post wand slots too, so youre summoning the entire screen full of tentacles, or moving and stomping pillars if they get accellerator, tracking, and the rare spell that upgrades summon attacks.

i think you can build something good with mr. ke's head too since its damage scales on the maximum mana of your wand. if you throw a bunch of mana boxes into the wand that summons the thing it can scale up pretty hard.

ways to scale up your flat mana in wands that you would multiply with the boxes would be merlins hat, a bunch of healing belts with the endless bottle, and other ways to get tons of potions (chests spawn chests relic, the blood relic that always gives you a potion room in shops etc.).

I will try this but man this looks like a lot of work and rng. In the same game where you can just get target+snake and play with your feet.
