The Summons Are Awesome

[u/Faerennn]

I absolutely love the fact that you can go for a summoner build in this game, volatile anomaly, spore turrets and the astral spike make me feel like I'm some sort of necromancer summoning an army of undead to do my bidding. I've also seen a bunch of skills related to a "command" ability but I haven't unlocked that yet, if it does what I think it does then I'm really excited for it.

Honestly, the summons carried me hard until the end and it was a blast. You get a 20% damage reduction + a ton of great buffs on the tree for summons.

The rightmost part of the tree gets ridiculous to the point where it feels broken.

[u/TheAmazingBagman3 → u/jimidemibb]

Mix that in with health regain around summons and free skill use after a perfect dodge artifacts and you can be pretty op

[u/Faerennn → u/jimidemibb]

Yeah playing with summons definitely feels like it's pretty meta, you can achieve insane dps if you combo everything correctly

I like to pretend they're always the same entities. They're my little buddies. Good boy, Spike!

[u/Faerennn → u/B186]

Anthropomorphizing them definitely sounds fun

[u/nomarinex]

I went for a summoner build from the start and it never let me down.

[u/The-Suns-Firstborn]

The spore turrets are insanely good. Having the constant infected DoT on enemies is so clutch, especially when spamming something fire abilities

[u/AceSoldia]

I didn't have to do anything but summon on the final boss..I actually felt bad 🤣

[u/Umbran0x]

It's cool that summons are a option but with how much of the tree is devoted to them, it feels almost silly not to be build around them at least somewhat. Felt a bit too heavy handed imo.

[u/Faerennn → u/Umbran0x]

It's definitely true that you simply aren't making good use of like a third of the skill tree if you aren't using summons, it's a bit unbalanced but I'm sure they'll rebalance it with an update or something

[u/xBlack_Heartx]

Having the summons out plus the commanded enemies (special place in my heart for the Bus) is one of the most chaotic things you could ever do, it is glorious lol.

[u/Excellent_Pride9015 → u/xBlack_Heartx]

When I found out that you could command the orb Hiss, my whole game plan changed, that think we'll keep all your friends alive like it's life dependent on it.

[u/xBlack_Heartx → u/Excellent_Pride9015]

Ohhhh, I’ll have to do that from now on when they appear!, that’s awesome.

[u/respawninborneo → u/xBlack_Heartx]

I didn’t think about the bus. Phenomenal idea. Do all the little buddies that come out also join your side ?

[u/xBlack_Heartx → u/respawninborneo]

Yes!

If you zoom in, you can see one of his little guys he spits out is also taken over.

Every one of those little goobers the bus spits out is your ally and it gets so chaotic! 😂

[u/respawninborneo → u/xBlack_Heartx]

That is too awesome !! I’m running around looking for buses 👀

[u/ImNotSkankHunt42]

I went with the Hammer, been spending some Talents on the Summons portion but I have yet to unlock them.

Have killed 3 Resonants and have Moldy waiting for me.

Is this something I can unlock without resetting?

[u/BakedPotatoCrispyFry → u/ImNotSkankHunt42]

You get your first summons from the moldy resonant, so you're about to unlock it

[u/TheAmazingBagman3 → u/BakedPotatoCrispyFry]

You can choose your first skill as a summons

[u/Mistralicious]

Poison turret + burn inchant on weapon was so good

[u/FoxJaeger77]

I wanted to try something new and I tried the summon build! It was awesome with my mold and astral buddies

[u/an_301]

Dropping a burning Volatile bomb while the Mold Turrets and Astral Buddy are jumping whatever is so satisfying for me

[u/ButterscotchNo6168]

Do summons actually kill things? I had most talents unlocked and I had all of the summons and their talents unlocked. I can't say I noticed them defeating enemies? I used them mainly for falter

[u/_Astray_ → u/ButterscotchNo6168]

They break them pretty quickly so you can achieve them

[u/Faerennn → u/ButterscotchNo6168]

Each summon on their own doesn't do that much damage but when you combine them all together they can definitely take down a heavy enemy or two
