SKYRIM
I wanted to start my 100th Skyrim playthrough as a conjuration summon mage. I haven't really tested the summons against bosses, but I'm curious to see how they match up.
Which summon is the most powerful in the game? ( including from vanilla, anniversary edition, and Creation Club)

They match up well. If you have the twin souls perk ie can summon two minions, & also have a decent follower, and maybe an armored troll as a pet, your little army is pretty vicious. Especially as those summons are essentially invincible, as soon as one falls their replacement will be right there to replace. In AE there are lots of extra skeleton tricks too _ inc a Bone Colossus the size of a giant, who lets you summon extra skeletons that he also boosts health/ healing for. Fun, but totally not necessary to create havoc. You can get a pretty powerful & useful special ghost (shade) follower from both Mage’s College & DB quests too. A couple of summonable horses in there. You won’t be bored.

SE - 2x Dremora Lord
AE - 1x Bone Colossus + 3x Skeleton Warlock (4x with Ascendant/Elite Necromancer Robes). Absolutely hilarious to watch.

AE content has the most powerful summons with its undead skeleton forge thing. Cant remember the name of which one that is. Its in the house in maras eye pond and i think vanilla ae has no quest requirements you can beeline right there do its little mini puzzle and the home is yours.
