A player in Elden Ring has looked at all the summons and listed them in a tier list so you know which are the best. However, this has sparked a big discussion, and fans are unsure.
What is this tier list? The tier list is a ranking of all known summons from Elden Ring. The Reddit user Azzrix took the effort to test all the incantations, categorizing them from S+ (Very good) to useless.
Azzrix considered the usefulness, practicality, situational use, bonuses and enhancements, FP costs, and casting times, and created this list based on his experience. He himself considers his ranking biased and is even willing to be torn apart by the community for his opinion.
The community has taken this to heart and closely inspected the tier list, criticizing many of the creator’s decisions.
Tier list proves that ranking in Elden Ring is difficult
What do the fans say about the list? Players view the list critically and do not understand many of the placements made by Reddit user Azzrix. Many good summons received much lower ratings. The poison mist was even declared “almost useless,” although many fans in the comments confirm its usefulness.
We have embedded the tier list for visualization:
The following comments can be heard on Reddit about the list:
- SirBeefWell: “How can Unbearable Frenzy be rated higher than Raging Flame? Why are the black flame spells rated so low? I’m really mad about this tier list. […]”
- No_ones_Knight: “Putting poison mist in useless is wild, brother.”
- Narcomancer69420: “Reasonably justified, but Dragon’s Maw must be in S tier.”
- Reason7322: “I don’t know in what world Shabiri’s Wail is D tier, but I agree with the rest. Also, the fact that Golden Oath doesn’t have S+ tier is a question mark; it’s a buff that stacks with everything.”
So what are the best summons now? That depends entirely on which direction your build takes. If you are a supporter and only want to use strengthening summons, you can’t go wrong with Golden Oath, Blessing of the Dragon Bolt, and various healing spells.
However, if you are more about dealing a lot of damage, Ancient Dragon’s Lightning, Flame of the Frenzied, and Unbearable Frenzy are a strong choice.
Our MeinMMO author Christos Tsogos also looked at the list and agrees with many things, but he also believes that the black flame spells and poison mist deserved a much better ranking. Additionally, Shabiri’s Wail should have received a much higher rating because this miracle provides a high damage buff.
What do you think of the list? Do you find it justified, or do you have suggestions for improvement? Let us know in the comments!
