Here we discuss Spirit Ashes in Elden Ring. Pros/Cons.
Been using Latenna the Archer
>cannot move
>extremely long range
>relatively low damage range attack
>squishy with no survivability
What you been using?
Anyone ever use the Land Squirt ashes?
Best ashes? Worst ashes?
Mimic
cheesed to meet you
Wouldn't this depend on your characters build?
dey good?
The one true choice.
I only ever use these mad lads
List one major downside of these guys.
>cannot move
post that kino webm with the wolf
She can mount wolves.
Also Tiche is fucking OP.
I heard that Omenkiller Rollo is supposed to be pretty good. It's hard to match mimic though. I have the fire and buff perfumes equipped with toxic / cursed blood pots and he uses those a lot. I have the Opaline Bubbletear on my sacred flask and he uses that too. Kind of hilarious really.
They are sloe and get fucked by ranged aoe.
elemer was not cheesed to meet them
five rat stunlock to death
>dodgy
>tanky
>big bleed
>melee and ranged
imps a best
What? Sounds amazing
Was honestly glad when they nerfed is because I could use it more without feeling I cheesed the boss too much. Just so much fun fighting with a clone of yourself with the same abilities you have.
>Oh shit we jump attacked at the same time, nice!
>Nice he's casting the big spell while I'm keeping them distracted
They are only defended from one side and are super squishy from every other direction.
If there are Wolf enemies near her she will jump on and use them as a mount while continuing ranged attacks. Extremely unlikely scenario in most cases but a cool easter egg I guess.
She can also ride the wolves in the snowfield
i use those two night sisters with the whip and perfume attacks.
I use them because i'm a tranny and secretly want to be them.,

WHAT i used her the whole game and i didn't know!
i tried the perfumer girl out and she constantly buffs me with that one physick thing that lets you tank one hit for free. pretty cool.
How many do you get at +10?
5
What are the best animal-based summons? Like the rats or aids dog
>free to cast, 0FP, 0HP
>free to upgrade
why?
Actually pretty amazing, at least early game
literally invincible unless the enemies set the ground on fire or some shit
she can jump on wolves what do you mean she cant move? like the big ones in the manor
wtf
Legendary Latenna and Lobo spirit ash when?
hey does the jellyfish get a buff after she meets her sister or what
they spawn away from you so you gotta run towards them. otherwise theyre free cheese to inflict pain on the world with. theyre also tanky little fucks with smol hitboxes
no. it opens a barrier in the nearby ruins but i forgot what the loot is
Finlay for me.
I am a Lhutel enthusiast. She fades in and out of so many attacks, slaps enemies with thrown spears while going 1v1, plus has big shield for the rare occasions of not doing fade away dodge. If she was slightly Nepheli levels of aggression, I'd have considered pivoting to a melee build with hound dash, just so we could be teleport behind you buddies. Honorable mention to Dolores and Latenna for fucking with enemies that are coded to do their gay jump away at the very input of ranged attacks.
it was some FP thing for casters iirc. kinda slept on the jelly but she was p useful in the beginning and wondering if she got better and i was too lazy to upgrade her to find out.
Wtf that's so fucking cool
!!!!
I kneel
I got annoyed by the phasing in and out.
Every time I used her it's basically :
>enemy stands there
>phases next to it
>one swipe
>phases away
>circles for like 5 seconds
>phases in
>one swipe
>phases away
etc...
Yeah, there's never really a time where you'd summon need a summon and wolves are involved. Honestly, certain spirit ashes should have been permanent companions instead of limited to specific small areas.
These guys sit in the corner and spaz out, whilst dishing out moderate damage, and confusing the everliving shit out bosses. Also incredible at taking out adds, even accidentally.
If the boss drops an area denial DoT on them then they're too stupid to get out of it and immediately die.
See also: Every other ash except maybe the assassin one idk
My main lad Kristoff pulled me out of every boss I couldn't be fucked to duel. Dude's tough as fuck.
Merchants do this with their donkies if you give them enough time to jump on them.
Yeah, not the most offensive, but when she has aggro, I know she isn't going to crumple like Nepheli or any other unshielded spirit.
Whereabouts can I find the Imp spirits? I'm also looking for the Putrid Zombie spirit as well.
How good are these guys? Never tried them but I want to
>What are the best animal-based summons?
The bird. Fast, hard to hit, does phys and fire damage, flying lets him avoid virtually every ground-based attack automatically. Also, some bosses have no idea how to deal with a flying target and it drives their ai bonkers.
All the other animals tend to be too aggressive for how little hp they have and get their shit kicked in pretty quickly.
Completely useless, but funny
You either start with them or buy them from the merchant past the academy gate
I think that Omenkiller Rollo is the best. He deals decent damage with 2 big cleavers that both apply bleed. His jumping attack combo staggers most bosses. Malenia gets knocked to the fucking ground. And on top of that he can also breathe fire, while being relatively tanky as well.
Much more fun than Tiche and Mimic.
The wolves are decent because they usually spread out. Theyre pretty good against strong except giant enemies with huge hitboxes.
You mean the Stormhawk or something else?
Tiche is useful, has great animations, AND I want to fuck her. The perfect summon.
I'm pretty sure that the IA now tries to double-tap them if you don't distract them
I wish ashes were more interesting and less broken. Like maybe some ashes would be on a timer instead of having health, but couldn't draw mob aggro.
I used the bloodhound knight when some area full of shitters needs to be cleared.
He just takes off like a rocket and starts slicing through them half a mile away.
Whats the best Ash for fighting the Fire Giant?
pumpkin head is so fucking cool even though he's not great. I use him any time I can. His head attack also throws you which is funny.
Tiche
Why are all the legendary ashes women except Kristoff
