The whole point of spirit ashes is that you still get to do the fun part (doing damage) while something else takes the lame part (taking damage). Black Knife Tiche has too much fun that I could be having.
While I don’t personally use summons outside of specific NPCs that I like (just because I don’t want to, I don’t think it’s bad to do so), on the occasions that I do summon an NPC I definitely prefer the aggro to be on me. The fun for me is in learning the enemy moveset, like a puzzle. Having someone else do damage while the aggro is on me just lowers the amount of openings I have to survive for
I suppose since I usually do the quests for Latenna and the jellyfish, those are technically the spirit ashes I summon most. Latenna would be perfect for what I want in a summon! I do summon Igon for Bayle because he’s just fun, and that’s kind of a similar experience
Nah their whole point is that they have infinite mana so of you gear correctly they spam spells nonstop. You can make the mimic into a healbot, or let them spam dragon shouts for trivial malenia fights.
