Man I summoned these guys against Neil and went afk cause of something important, when I came back I literally thought I died , but to my suprise these fcker kept him so busy that I was at full health all that time
Not true at all, as a mage Greatshields has been my go to since Nokron. These guys pull all the agro and I can just NUKE all the bosses. Nothing stands in our way.
naaaw Dude, mimic tear is so broke nowadays. he uses items of inventory, stand stupid still in a fight and ran every time more, than attack. In the earlier times before the mimic tear was fixed, was the mimic the strongest ash ever.
Tiche legit so strong if she doesnt get hit the whole time couse her hits sometimes do so much dmg its crazy but then again sometimes she just gets destroyed
Thank you for creating and sharing this. I found the Mimic Tear to be a very effective tank. I would often make sure I had a shield and weapon equipped that dealt a damage type the target was weak against. I would also have Shabriri's Woe talisman equipped when I summoned it. I would often then swap out my weapon to an alternate damage type the target was weak against as well as Shabriri's Woe. When equipped with Shabriri's Woe, one's Mimic Tear Spirit Summon becomes an agro magnet, as long as one remembers to remove it from their character.
the mimic tear takes the cake if you rank on Endurance, Strength, Agro, Health, and Damage and are not limited to weapons. Mimic Tear will use everything you have equipped, off-hand and on-hand. I did a 1 hr video with all spirit summons soloing a boss on TH-cam.
Dung eater is probably the best outside of mimic tear. I did some tests with the enemies in the Mogwyn cave against the enemies that spawn in there and black knife Tiche and omen killer didn't do nearly as well as Dungeater.
Depends on your build, but it seems like in general Dung Eater is just the best overall. This is especially true with the DLC. The only time Mimic really pulls ahead is when you keep your build super basic and with zero spells. Like using a Greatsword with Lion's Claw with a Great Shield, or two bleed weapons. Otherwise, the AI isn't smart enough to use your slotted spells efficiently and wastes too much time doing dumb shit. Tiche has always been overrated. Yes, she can deal high damage and yes, she can avoid a lot of big hits. When she does get hit though? She's pancacked. Want to play as a caster, or hybrid caster? None does it better than Dung Eater*. Rollo is a second best if you don't want to bother with the Dung Eater quest, or you want the ending you cannot get by having him as a puppet. There's exactly one good new summon in the DLC, and they are at the end of a decently long quest line. For most of the DLC, no one stays alive/deals as much damage as Dung Eater.
Skeleton soldiers are underrated. They are immortal...so long as they don't die while the boss is in the middle of a combo. Because the boss always loses aggro as soon as they go down, making it easy for them to get right back up and regain aggro
My favorite is that bloodhound knight, he is so agresive and kills all the enemys from your area( even if they don't attack you). However his kryptonite is a shield 😅.
For distraction purposes nothing has beaten the putrid corpses for me. They stay alive longer then any other summons i’ve tried and leave so much room for me to sit back and catch the boss off guard. Underrated
Honestly a bit surprised there’s not much talk about Stormhawk Deenh- Applies damage buff periodically, zooms quite fast around the area, and has quite a bit of mobility attacks to let it do some hit-n-run tactics. It’s been working pretty well for my twin-axe/Godfrey setup.
Yep, this is a great spirit ash. Top five in my book. Start by boosting your stats, all of them, and then despite the squishy HP pool it rarely gets hit
Mimic tear isn't perfect. I've had to switch to the great shield guys for various bosses, because quantity can draw better agro against certain high impact attacks or prevent the enemy taking a ranged stance.
There's no better summon than mimic. Only reason for your mimic to be worse than other summon it's because your build may disadvantage to boss u are fighting with. Like using bleed to a boss immune to bleed. But called a summon fire user and boss was weak to it. İ am 350lvl no summon is better than my 10+ mimic i have fire, thunder, holy, fate and bleed weapons equiped all the time. All I have to do is pick the right wapon for boss and summon mimic or pick the wapon as how i wish mimic to play. Nothing is better your mimic. This kind of videos are just click baiting. There's better defensive pics than mimic but nothing with more offence power of you already above 100 lvl.
@@SoulKingsss it is great for synergy if u know how to build up your synergy with it. Any other summon than mimic Thay can shine only if the situation fits perfectly to them. Overall mimic is the best I can get. Do you want it to tank just put a great shield two handled and summon it it will be your tank summon. But a great bow summon it you got your back support. İ have 90 fate 85 dex and 80 straight with one of the best armor set equiped. Nothing is a better choice than mimic. You can play with talismans to make it a boss magnet ass well but i just hate keep changing what i equip so even without it mimic is my best choice all the time. Only situation i pic something else is when i fight against deaths builders. And only 2 boss has that ability. i choose number over mimic only to them cuz either me or mimic can get instant death. İ am at my Ng+5 so you probably have much more expreince than i do. Am I wrong about how op mimic can be depends on your choose and it's just getting better and better with your power lvl?
@@grayjay6943 No yr right, once yr over level 100-150 mimic tear is objectively stronger than anything else. It simply has too much health. They nerfed it, nd its still wild tanky lol This video is not a serious one
For an Int / caster build I highly highly recommend Kaiden Mercenary for the early game and Omenkiller Rollo for late game / shadow realm! I still use Mimic Tear when I want to inflict scarlet rot or frost because the Mimic uses my frost spells and rot pots.
Latenna absolutely owned the dragonskin boss in Nokron for me. I play without the HUD on so I didn't even realize how much she was hurting him. I was just starting to get his timing worrying about his long reach when he dropped. Engvall has been my go to though, with his brother a close second. The Wings of The Storm and I are beating the game.
Heh. While watching this, I was wondering where Omenkiller and Dung Eater would place. Not disappointed, although I'd still say Mimic Tear is still in the top five. It obviously depends on your build though and how much you really want to micromanage it. If you're tired of having to swap things around so that you have the perfect Tear each time you summon it, the top three on this list are arguably better with one caveat. All of them require 100+ FP, while the Tear only requires HP, which is way easier to manage for most builds.
I got Oleg before getting around to my Mimic Tear and I honestly think I preferred Oleg more. He's just that dude! I'll admit, I did notice his guard would always break like you mentioned.
As a mage I completely agree because my magic does so much damage I use my summons for distractions cuz I don't need them to deal damage. I'd much rather a tank summon than mimic just cuz it suits my build better. I'm not saying mimic is bad I'm just saying every build is different and there is no all in one summon. Good vid btw
I know there are plenty of really good Spirit summons but I like seeing how my mimic tear uses my load out sometimes it surprises me and it’s always fun to see what it’ll come up with. Anyways that’s why I can’t stop using it
Ogha is a really good summon! I cosplayed as a Redmane Knight and together we avenged our lord when we let Malenia eat dirt. Better for boss fights since he patrols an area instead of following you around.
yup i put in double-time on videos hoping they are entertaining (so im not like other boring ppl), while also needing solid info (so im not like other misinformation ppl) even tho this video is not very serious lol
I’m a strength build and I use the Mimic Tear literally every big boss fight lol. It’s never failed me so far, it fights just like me and is way more aggressive. However, if I wasn’t using the Mimic Tear, I’d be using the Black Knife Tiche summon, that’s definitely the second best one behind the Mimic Tear. It’s super evasive and constantly dealing damage. Enemies health bars are literally always going down
Her teleporting keeps her in the fight for the duration, and for any foe who doesn't teleport frequently, she's all up in your chest with that spear attack. I definitely lust when she appears
gotta say using a spirit depending on play style was the right call here my guy. using 2 sep char build 1 dex, 1 str and maining the knights summons to see which banished pairs best. Engvall is storm stompin well with a berk Guts build, make pairings. if I see you mimic tear, I swear I'm gonna be as horrible as possible after.......(hard-swap mode engaged)
The Marquette spirit is my go too. They shoot those arrows like crazy and allow you to get up close and person with the bosses. Distraction is the name of the game 😆
Sadly I don’t have enough fp for omen killer. But I’m surprised skeleton soldiers didn’t make the list. They do such a good job at distracting a boss. It’s like a tag team match because when they die it’s your turn to distract the boss while they come back to life and go for round two. They carried me through a lot.
Mimic is by far the best summon and it's really not even close, assuming one has a decent build. The fact that mimic has unlimited FP means it can spam wave of gold, takers flame, dragon breaths, bloodboon ritual, night comets, healing spells, bubble perfumes, etc... in a way that no one should be able to spam that stuff. And having your inventory means unlimited healing as long as one has raw meat dumplings equipped, which is quite broken.
Are you saying that the mimic tear is even stronger for mage builds? I have no idea just started a week ago but I am a mage build so would be nice to know
@@monhi64 it kinda depends. On my mage I prefer to use a tank, the mimic kinda runs in and is pretty stupid, and if you’re a mage that’s not a good thing. Summons are more about synergy. If you’re melee or have an effect build (blood poison etc) the mimic is by far the best. If your playing mage go with dungeater late game, or luthel early game. The banished knights aren’t bad either.
I like more Oleg's twin brother: Banished knight Engvall. That dude is a beast. Never seen him staggered & like his twin he's always right in the face of any boss
I followed your recommandation and used Craystalin and she stood next the door holding her tire looking bored while I was fighting tooth and nail. Smh god bless the three dogs coming for my rescue ❤
Headless knight is the coolest and the best, i mean she can throw some phantom spear and she's much more helpful than other spirit ashes i have, except mimic tears, only if i want to unch-unch with my self that'll be different, but that one headless knight, she's strong enough to help me, to defeat various foes in limgrave and all
Overall the Mimic tear is the best. For most situations it will last longer and do more damage depending on the build but there are situations where others are just as good as better depending on play style and which boss you go against since weakness's and resistances are important. Its personal preference mostly. I like loading up my equipment with different weapons, seals and staffs and using mimic tear just to see what he choses to do. Its pretty funny when you are fighting and suddenly dragon rot breath is spewing everywhere.
I'm happy to see Dung Eater getting some love here. I think this ash suffers from its relative difficulty to get. You have to progress Dung Eaters questline almost to the very end but just before the end give it the potion, and I wonder if a lot of people miss out on it. Nevertheless, he is currently my number one with mimic tear a distant second.
Knight Finley! Buffs you with heals, throws destruction disc, has the holy spears that shoot out of the ground, uses a halo scythe and antspur rapier. Also has scarlet rot vomit. Also is a TANK
I like the mimic tear, I am aware of how summoning another NPC is OP. But some of your suggestions legitimately sound like fun. The greatshield skelly-boys are literally those tryhards in COD hiding behind their riot shields! The Headless Knight was easily my favorite choice that wasn’t mimic tear. But I’ll definitely give Omen Killer a chance!
What you fail to realize is that mimic tear uses hp and not fp to summon which is perfect for low MND builds. Also, said builds usually deal very good poise damage so having the mimic tear would stance break any bosses easily.
As a heavy strength build nothing beats mimic tear. Takes all the agro, hits like a truck. Basically toss bosses back and forth between us. If it goes for me, hit hard by mimic. Goes for mimic hit hard by me. Its glorious.
As a mage, I have noticed my mimic draws a lot of aggro because of its ranged attacks. When the boss starts coming after me, wham! a Comet in the back will send him back to the mimic. Also, some bosses seem to have trouble telling you and your mimic apart so when I attack him, he keeps on going for the mimic. OTOH, when I use a strong melee ash, frequently the boss disengages from the ash and goes after me, and the ash has some trouble re-engaging the boss's attention. Some ashes like knight Erdvall WALK to attack the boss...
Latenna's great at range - especially dragons. Dungeater is great - uses weapon art for medium range, and for sure Tiche for her ash of war. Mimic is great - what I really like about the mimic is that the mimic will heal without getting poison when equipping raw meat dumplings.
My Mimic Tear on some of my builds is Far superior to any other Ash, and on others its outshined by BKT and a few others. It does depend on your build. The Ashes job is to take attention from you so you can get your big spells or big damage attacks off. Glass cannon/caster builds tend to suffer using Mimic Tear and Tankier builds it tends to shine. For instance The Mimic for my Strength Faith build can solo 80% of the bosses.
I just dint understood the choice of Oleg. Engvall is much more efficient attack with halberd and his WIND art special attack seems STRONGER than Oleg. And he defends himself much more effectively...
with a base of 9 on my stat and 82fp, i got stuck with the wolf, and they surprisingly did well till now, i just finished farum azula XD, short summon automatically dodge horizontal attack because of their height, i like that XD
I play a tank build with bleed damage. For messmer in particular, mimic lasts the longest and is thus the most useful. Other ashes in he DLC dont last long, not even the tailor.
after watching this video, i tried your beloved Omenkiller Rollo against Messmer, in NG+3... with all his tankiness, Messmer destroyed Rollo rather quickly... i barely had time to react after popping some of my buffs, and Rollo was already at less then half his health.. WTF??? and yes, Rollo is maxed at +10... then, i switched back to my Mimic Tear, and not only did my Mimic last to Messmer's second phase, but my Mimic got the last swipe in that finally killed Messmer... face it, toots: Mimic Tear is the absolute BEST spirit summon in this game.. all others are a waste of time, just like this video... NONE of the 8 spirits you mention in this video come close to the Mimic Tear...
There is a simple thing to improve the mimic tear even BETTER... Put in your inventory 10 warming stones and very often in the fight your mimic tear will toss one it in the arena... They are infinite for the spirit ash and for many times those random throw warming stones saved my ass...
I can kit my Mimic Tear out as Melee DPS, Melee Tank, Cleric, DPS Cleric, Bowyer... And she uses those belt items. I could make her a mage, but I'd have to prep my spells for that.
Someone else told me the same about Mimic - my build is bad. Nah, Mimic Tear is trash - don't recommend especially during final boss fight. Thank you for this video!
Dragon knight kristof is the tankiest summon I've seen maxed out his health early dropped in endgame hist like Melania and radigan. Only in the dlc did I ever see him die.
dude i'm sorry but this is literally and unquestianobly bs, for one simple undeniable reason: you can have some pretty absurdly broken minmaxed builds in elden ring, mimc tear is an exact copy of your build. so instead of beeing super broken you can be super broken x2. there is no touching that, plain and simple. no amount of reasoning can counter that
what about all the players who havnt put in HUNDREDS of hours of playtime to "midmax absurdly broken builds" ? What about under level 100, and the first playthrough...? what u say then big reasoning man
And as if the point needed to be made stronger, now even the DLC bosses have all been soloed by carefully crafted mimic tears. Mimic tear isn't just the most powerful version of the ash summon. It is more a whole different tool of a more substantial power that happens to be mutually exclusive with ash summons.
Wow thanks... Being a creator that has an effect on viewers exactly like u just described is my number 1 goal dude. (For ppl to watch simply bcuz its entertaining.)
If you’re not engaged close range to the boss the mimic tear sucks because it isn’t really doing anything. Go in with a solid blood bleed build and with mimic bosses are done in under a minute
Against the stronger Bosses with a highlevel char in ng+s mimic IS definately the strongest summon. But against weaker Bosses I Like to use different summons.
I don't care what you say; the mimic tear takes the cake if you rank on Endurance, Strength, Agro, Health, and Damage and are not limited to weapons. Mimic Tear will use everything you have equipped, off-hand and on-hand. I did a 1 hr video with all spirit summons soloing a boss on youtube.

It’s like a tag team match because when they die it’s your turn to distract the boss while they come back to life and go for round two. They carried me through a lot.
Mimic is by far the best summon and it's really not even close, assuming one has a decent build. The fact that mimic has unlimited FP means it can spam wave of gold, takers flame, dragon breaths, bloodboon ritual, night comets, healing spells, bubble perfumes, etc... in a way that no one should be able to spam that stuff. And having your inventory means unlimited healing as long as one has raw meat dumplings equipped, which is quite broken.
If he chooses too half the time he’s not can’t hype a summon up without bringing up their cons and weaknesses.
Are you saying that the mimic tear is even stronger for mage builds? I have no idea just started a week ago but I am a mage build so would be nice to know
@@monhi64 it kinda depends. On my mage I prefer to use a tank, the mimic kinda runs in and is pretty stupid, and if you’re a mage that’s not a good thing. Summons are more about synergy. If you’re melee or have an effect build (blood poison etc) the mimic is by far the best. If your playing mage go with dungeater late game, or luthel early game. The banished knights aren’t bad either.
I like more Oleg's twin brother: Banished knight Engvall. That dude is a beast. Never seen him staggered & like his twin he's always right in the face of any boss
Latenna the Albinauric would like a word. If you keep agro off of her while playing a melee build, she destroys from a distance.
I followed your recommandation and used Craystalin and she stood next the door holding her tire looking bored while I was fighting tooth and nail. Smh god bless the three dogs coming for my rescue ❤
Grab yourself a good ol' black knife tiche and let the easy mode begin.
I legit used the Rotten Stray ashes for so many bosses when I first started playing - the scarlet rot DoTs are just too good.
I enjoy the little guys with the great shields. 👍 thumbs up
Headless knight is the coolest and the best, i mean she can throw some phantom spear and she's much more helpful than other spirit ashes i have, except mimic tears, only if i want to unch-unch with my self that'll be different, but that one headless knight, she's strong enough to help me, to defeat various foes in limgrave and all
My go-to girl!
Overall the Mimic tear is the best. For most situations it will last longer and do more damage depending on the build but there are situations where others are just as good as better depending on play style and which boss you go against since weakness's and resistances are important. Its personal preference mostly. I like loading up my equipment with different weapons, seals and staffs and using mimic tear just to see what he choses to do. Its pretty funny when you are fighting and suddenly dragon rot breath is spewing everywhere.
Rollo and titche are my favorites and the rotten dog helped me a ton at the beginning.
I love when you carry the fight meanwhile tiche is running circles around the boss doing fk all😂
Mimic,Tiche,and Dung Eater are my lifesavers
I'm happy to see Dung Eater getting some love here. I think this ash suffers from its relative difficulty to get. You have to progress Dung Eaters questline almost to the very end but just before the end give it the potion, and I wonder if a lot of people miss out on it. Nevertheless, he is currently my number one with mimic tear a distant second.
Dung eater also my favourite, but he does feel a bit lost when the enemy flies, like Astel
My mimic tear is serving me well. Has never let me down.
Only mage that needs other summons to protect their level 15 vigor
I swear to god the images you use are always top tier
Naicee thanks. My faves in this video was the wheelchair gun pic and the "i eat poop" pic lmfaoo..
@@SoulKingsss Wrote this after seeing the wheelchair guy
Black Knife also has a big mana cost that always seems just outta where I want my stat spread w/ so many other great options.
Marinette Soldiers also proc dodge/Shield animations (when applicable) which is great for aggressive builds or builds with charged attacks.
When elden ring first came out mimic tear use to be good. now it watches me die
Knight Finley! Buffs you with heals, throws destruction disc, has the holy spears that shoot out of the ground, uses a halo scythe and antspur rapier. Also has scarlet rot vomit. Also is a TANK
I like the mimic tear, I am aware of how summoning another NPC is OP.
But some of your suggestions legitimately sound like fun. The greatshield skelly-boys are literally those tryhards in COD hiding behind their riot shields!
The Headless Knight was easily my favorite choice that wasn’t mimic tear. But I’ll definitely give Omen Killer a chance!
Also with the Mohg talisman Omen Killer gives you the power up due the blood loss
What you fail to realize is that mimic tear uses hp and not fp to summon which is perfect for low MND builds. Also, said builds usually deal very good poise damage so having the mimic tear would stance break any bosses easily.
I have failed to realize. Yes. Your wisdom and knowledge befits a king!
u failed to realize point of this video lmfao
lol breaking news!!!
@@SoulKingsssWait, so you agree with him then go back on your word immediately? Is there something wrong with you in the head?
This TH-camr is delusional.
Your Meme is always numba one Dude xD. Any Recommendations for Sacred Spear build? I need lil Tanky while I'm casting the blood ritual
🔥🔥🔥 Thanks dude
And yeah, those greatshield guys! They are perfect for holding down aggro
As a heavy strength build nothing beats mimic tear. Takes all the agro, hits like a truck. Basically toss bosses back and forth between us. If it goes for me, hit hard by mimic. Goes for mimic hit hard by me. Its glorious.
As a mage, I have noticed my mimic draws a lot of aggro because of its ranged attacks. When the boss starts coming after me, wham! a Comet in the back will send him back to the mimic. Also, some bosses seem to have trouble telling you and your mimic apart so when I attack him, he keeps on going for the mimic. OTOH, when I use a strong melee ash, frequently the boss disengages from the ash and goes after me, and the ash has some trouble re-engaging the boss's attention. Some ashes like knight Erdvall WALK to attack the boss...
I don't agree with the rankings but you get a 👍 for making this video damn entertaining!
And Tiche could take down every other summons in this group
Latenna's great at range - especially dragons. Dungeater is great - uses weapon art for medium range, and for sure Tiche for her ash of war. Mimic is great - what I really like about the mimic is that the mimic will heal without getting poison when equipping raw meat dumplings.
Marionette Soldiers are one of the best early game summons, got me trough several bosses
My Mimic Tear on some of my builds is Far superior to any other Ash, and on others its outshined by BKT and a few others. It does depend on your build. The Ashes job is to take attention from you so you can get your big spells or big damage attacks off. Glass cannon/caster builds tend to suffer using Mimic Tear and Tankier builds it tends to shine. For instance The Mimic for my Strength Faith build can solo 80% of the bosses.
Spirit Jellyfish ashes are carrying me through almost every fight.
I just dint understood the choice of Oleg.
Engvall is much more efficient attack with halberd and his WIND art special attack seems STRONGER than Oleg.
And he defends himself much more effectively...
with a base of 9 on my stat and 82fp, i got stuck with the wolf, and they surprisingly did well till now, i just finished farum azula XD, short summon automatically dodge horizontal attack because of their height, i like that XD
I play a tank build with bleed damage. For messmer in particular, mimic lasts the longest and is thus the most useful. Other ashes in he DLC dont last long, not even the tailor.
Lhutel the Headless MY BOY FOREVER. He really is in a league on it's own.
Good job dude, keep going 🤜🏻
Your too funny!!! Great video😂.. very creative!!!
Naiceee I appreciate you.
I'll keep working hard 💯
Thanks👑
after watching this video, i tried your beloved Omenkiller Rollo against Messmer, in NG+3... with all his tankiness, Messmer destroyed Rollo rather quickly... i barely had time to react after popping some of my buffs, and Rollo was already at less then half his health.. WTF??? and yes, Rollo is maxed at +10... then, i switched back to my Mimic Tear, and not only did my Mimic last to Messmer's second phase, but my Mimic got the last swipe in that finally killed Messmer... face it, toots: Mimic Tear is the absolute BEST spirit summon in this game.. all others are a waste of time, just like this video... NONE of the 8 spirits you mention in this video come close to the Mimic Tear...
all you need is mimic tear with blasphemous blade. damn mimic tear heals itself with the weapon
There is a simple thing to improve the mimic tear even BETTER...
Put in your inventory 10 warming stones and very often in the fight your mimic tear will toss one it in the arena...
They are infinite for the spirit ash and for many times those random throw warming stones saved my ass...
I'm trying not to lose my shit at some of these memes 😭🤣 keep it up
A level 10 Black Knight Commander Andreas is damn strong.
I can kit my Mimic Tear out as Melee DPS, Melee Tank, Cleric, DPS Cleric, Bowyer... And she uses those belt items. I could make her a mage, but I'd have to prep my spells for that.
Ancient dragon knight Kristoff is my fav summon and has been since I first unlocked
Unless you're playing a pew pew low vigor build, Mimic Tear is still the best summon
No. Because unless the game creates a "your mom" summon, Mimic tear is the best I can use. 😂
I’ve been rocking with BK Engvall so far until I came across Lhutel last night 😅
Someone else told me the same about Mimic - my build is bad. Nah, Mimic Tear is trash - don't recommend especially during final boss fight. Thank you for this video!
Dragon knight kristof is the tankiest summon I've seen maxed out his health early dropped in endgame hist like Melania and radigan. Only in the dlc did I ever see him die.
dude i'm sorry but this is literally and unquestianobly bs, for one simple undeniable reason: you can have some pretty absurdly broken minmaxed builds in elden ring, mimc tear is an exact copy of your build. so instead of beeing super broken you can be super broken x2. there is no touching that, plain and simple. no amount of reasoning can counter that
unquestionably
what about all the players who havnt put in HUNDREDS of hours of playtime to "midmax absurdly broken builds" ?
What about under level 100, and the first playthrough...?
what u say then big reasoning man
And as if the point needed to be made stronger, now even the DLC bosses have all been soloed by carefully crafted mimic tears. Mimic tear isn't just the most powerful version of the ash summon. It is more a whole different tool of a more substantial power that happens to be mutually exclusive with ash summons.
I beat the whole game and dlc with Rollo. He tanks, I cast spells with full int build. He’s reliable af
I dont even play the game anymore but i love your videos and your funny and creative commentary
Wow thanks... Being a creator that has an effect on viewers exactly like u just described is my number 1 goal dude. (For ppl to watch simply bcuz its entertaining.)
I'll work hard to make best videos possible for my ppl like you!💯🙏
@@SoulKingsss W mentality.
#Elden_King_to_1Mil hope to see it one day💪
The mimic is the best no question I even would switch my weapons to another set after I summons to create that mismatch.
I don't feel like putting any points in mind, so that's my main reason for using mimic tear.
Marionette Soldiers are OP against heavy caster bosses like Queen Rennala. LOL
If you’re not engaged close range to the boss the mimic tear sucks because it isn’t really doing anything. Go in with a solid blood bleed build and with mimic bosses are done in under a minute
Mimic tear is only as good as you spec yourself
So one thing that makes mimic tear so good is it can heal itself with a warming stone or raw meat dumpling.
Omenkiller Rollo ON TOP 🔥🔥
He stun locked melania for me once
Billionaire playboy Rollo 🥸
Black knife tische dodges enemies very well and the red ranged attacks are ridiculously dangerous
Against the stronger Bosses with a highlevel char in ng+s mimic IS definately the strongest summon. But against weaker Bosses I Like to use different summons.
Hear me out, man serpant ashes are kinda op. Definitely a top 10 pick
I don't care what you say; the mimic tear takes the cake if you rank on Endurance, Strength, Agro, Health, and Damage and are not limited to weapons. Mimic Tear will use everything you have equipped, off-hand and on-hand. I did a 1 hr video with all spirit summons soloing a boss on youtube.
