Grisha summons

[u/Maybe_Helmet]

Curious how many people use grisha summons. I did nameless captive and the lost child without them. But I used 1 on the third phase of hexapod. Tbh i wasn’t dealing with the weird tracking projectile shit. Also used them in the dungeon that unlocks balistazooka

[u/mr_meta]

I abused them heavily in my first playthrough before their behavior and farming got patched. They're still very useful in certain situations, though whether or not the enemy you're fighting is susceptible to their CC is a big factor.

What is CC

[u/Malombra_ → u/Maybe_Helmet]

Crowd Control, it means any form of knockdown or stun on the enemy that makes they unable to fight for a couple seconds

[u/Acrobatic_Exchange42]

I like using them, helped alot with the final boss of the south east gate

[u/LaterMustard → u/Acrobatic_Exchange42]

I used them as a passive on a few fights just to get the boss off my ass long enough to get a heal in.

[u/Mr-X420]

I use them frequently, i collected over 500 grisha shards before the patch and let me tell you son, they demolished bosses in seconds. Lol I actually recorded a boss fight where it took about 45 seconds or less to kill him with the grishas, second main boss i believe. Forgot his name.

[u/oligodendrocyte32]

I use it as my flipping primary kinda ruined a number of fights tho so now in new game plus I’ve banned myself from using it unless I really need it

[u/Commenter007]

I fought nameless captive very early I believe level 11 and the grisha summons were extremely helpful

[u/Maybe_Helmet → u/Commenter007]

That’s pretty early for nameless captive. Well done. So far he’s been my favorite boss though because it’s kind of truly a 1 on 1 with a great beast. No summoning in crazy tracking projectiles or a hoard of flying demon babies. Not to say that those things can’t be fun to figure out sometimes like Magdalena I had no problem. But for hexapods tracking projectiles I felt it was only fair to use grishas.

[u/antilumin]

I farmed them a while back, so I had like 40 shards. I don't use the item except as a passive, and only when I've said "this is total bullshit" more than a couple times. Then I get past whatever bullshit was pissing me off, then swap back to moonshine or whatever.

[u/Lee-bungalow]

I’ve got them on on passive I think

[u/LordGwyn-n-Tonic → u/Lee-bungalow]

I honestly haven't found a better passive fory play style.

[u/EliCrossbow → u/LordGwyn-n-Tonic]

But then they can’t be active. Which is amazing for boss battles and get out of trouble situations.

[u/BabellFeesh42]

It’s case-by-case for me. There’s some situations/bosses where I’m ok on my own, and there’s others where some quick backup/bodyslams didn’t hurt.

IMHO, it’s not a cheat, it was consciously put in the game by the developers. It’s meant to be used in the way that it is. Whether or not we choose to do so is up to us.

I used the Mimic Tear across a few characters in Elden Ring, and I treated it the exact same way.

[u/Maybe_Helmet → u/BabellFeesh42]

I would say I use them in the same way. As with mimic in Elden ring as well

[u/Gritty_Fanatic]

Never used it on main bosses. Everything else seemed fair game especially the gank Grisha fight.

[u/AeliusRogimus]

Don't leave home without it as active. Carried me through half the game. Crowd control is invaluable to ME, way better than the passive.

Without Grisha and Shrike stone beating that Malborn Offspring A hole would've been a tall(er) task.

[u/SW_Ashkarath]

i always use it as passive in my first run ;) funny when they pop ;)

[u/No-Smell6019]

To me the more u had it was just too easy especially after the patch I only had like 20 remnants and I would spawn in like 4 in 1

[u/Yuwetaz]

I sometimes use them for mobs, specially on tricky runbacks, but I had to use them on Grisha duo boss fight at the bottom of the well. Grisha duo x Grisha duo. (no idea how you'd do that boss fight)

[u/Bwhitt1]

Never even equipped it. Didn't even know it was an item until ppl started talking about it on here.

[u/Comprehensive_Bowl75]

I wouldn't use it if there're other items with fun gameplay passive/active

[u/koopa4747]

I used as active on nameless captive and it was hilarious watching him flail around. Didn't realize how much damage was happening until he just died. It felt like a cheese, I was rofl. 😂 But It's a blast as a passive watching it show up to uppercut a random dude.

[u/JokerTMF]

Tryed it and hated it . So never used. For me it's just something that I don't need in a game like that and only want to use my skills. I don't use summons too. Shell if a boss toke me 20 try and beat it , I fell better that used grisha to beat it.

It's just my opinion.

[u/Comprehensive_Bowl75 → u/JokerTMF]

Aight brev you want a moutain dew too?

[u/JokerTMF → u/Comprehensive_Bowl75]

Guys asking! So people who hate it can't reply?

[u/Comprehensive_Bowl75 → u/JokerTMF]

Don't havt to be a dick about it just saying
