260 View2024-07-22

While the Mimic Tear is still one of the best Spirit Ash summons, the new DLC introduces some great alternatives that suit different playstyles. Here are a few of the top new summons:

1. Taou the Golem Smith:

Role: Tank

Strengths: Taou is extremely durable and can take a lot of damage, making it great for drawing enemy attention away from you. It only takes serious damage when hit from behind, which enemies don’t often manage.

How to Get Taou the Golem Smith: Go to Taou's Ruined Forge, west of Shadow Keep, and complete the dungeon to find this summon.

2. Ancient Dragon Floresax:

Role: Support/Tank Hybrid

Strengths: Floresax is perfect for Faith builds, offering both protection and offensive spells. She can reduce enemy lightning resistance and boost your damage negation, making her versatile and useful in many situations.

How to Get Ancient Dragon Floresax: Complete Floresax's quest by defeating Bale. Be careful with your choices, as they can affect your rewards.

3. Yolan and Anna:

Role: Aggro/DPS

Strengths: This summon features two aggressive fighters that stick to their target and build up bleed damage quickly. There’s currently a bug that affects their health and damage when upgraded, but once fixed, they could rival the Mimic Tear in power.

How to Get Yolan and Anna: Follow the alternative path in the Yolan and Anna quest line, starting at the Cathedral of Manis Meta.

As a bonus, putting the new Beast Claws on your Mimic Tear can make it incredibly powerful, especially for dealing pure damage. For more detailed guides, check out the channel's videos.
