Summon Duration

[Philomele]

What's the point of this stat? Only the skeleton summons from Mort seem to have a duration. All other summons whether it's from equipment, blessings, talents don't have a duration and yet that stat has both equipment support and a whole blessing dedicated to it.

Maybe instead of a useless stat, rebalance the skeleton summons without duration and add a blessing for extra summon units and from equipment just remove summon duration. Probably shouldn't apply to equipment/talent/legend summons but at least it will be useful for 4 summon blessings (wolves, crows, skeletons, swords).

Could maybe make it so the blessing gives a bit of %dmg to summons that can't benefit from extra units, or not.

p.s. If anyone knows other instances where this stat applies let me know (aside from the 3m jhin from the random event, if it even applies).

Fun fact: there is a very rare and conditional summon from Summer that also has a duration. all in all, it does seem like a pretty worthless stat. I certainly dont bother with it.

I could swear I saw a duration on either the fire foxes or the frost wolves, will have to pay attention next time.

fire elementals have it, frost wolves dont

Tbh I've only seen fire elementals only once and that's when I wasn't doing a summon run. Even banishing everything summer offered me wasn't enough to make them appear.

You have to take a blessing that leaves fire on the ground, since they spawn from fires on the ground.
This includes the dash blessing and the one that makes enemies leave fires after they die.

Oh, that explains why it appeared randomly on that run, I had her dash. Are there any other interactions like that with other gods etc?

Yes, there are many conditional blessings. Wiki has them all.

except it doesnt seem like trail of fire works. ive been experimenting with it all day and it looks like meteor storm OR the one that leaves fire when enemies die are the only two options for getting the summon. Sounds like a bug to me, as trail easily leaves the most fire lol
