You can't resist the all-weapons-ranked video, Rusty. It is your destiny.

In an interview before release Miyazaki said about spirit summons "Some are useless, but you will grow attached to them" I am certain he was talking about the Miranda Flowers

42:35 Seeing the duelist charge in a circle made my day.

7:15 My favorite part about these guys is that every translation had to slip in some sort of reference to "The A-Team". Their Japanese name is "Kamikaze Attack Bastards", which was what the show was called in Japan, the English name is a pun on the "Soldiers of Fortune" bit from the intro, and the French description is a riff on Hannibal's catchphrase "I love it when a plan comes together" (in this case, "I love it when a plan ends in pieces"). Absolutely godawful in gameplay, but top tier in terms of goofy references.

33:11 it should be noted that Ogha can actually follow an order from the player. If you use one of the Roaring Ashes of War (Barbaric Roar, Braggart’s Roar, Warcry, Beast Roar, Troll’s Roar, Shriek of Milos) he will fire a rain of greatarrows upon the enemy. Works great for characters that already use the roars in their build, but for those that don’t, you can just put Beast Roar on a dagger. It’s always good to have a projectile on you so you can keep up the poise damage on a boss, and when you fire off the roar, Ogha will respond with his own rain of arrows. It’s a fun, underutilized effect he comes with that makes him unique to other summons.

The bird that screeches and gives you a buff that’s my favorite. You do the work but it also genuinely helps you in a fight.

there is a little caveat to the mimic tear, and that's when using any great runes that increase stats (like godricks), the mimic tear can't copy that and instead will be running around with weapons it can't use. This also means that you can pop a great rune before a mimic tear fight, use a weapon you can only use with godricks great rune active, and watch the mimic tear do a bunch of attacks it can't do and deal absolutely no damage. Also i found out that you can put pots in your quick menu inventory and the mimic tear would use as many as you have crafted, so if you want, get 4 poison pots, 4 rot pots, 4 frost pots, and some others, and have that mimic tear apply a myriad of status on the enemy. Yes, this works with sleep pots on the godskin duo. If you want, you can equip the tankiest build known to man with all the status pots in your inventory, walk into a boss fight, summon mimic, re-equip your actual normal build, and then all of a sudden you have a walking tank that can apply status build ups like nobody's business as well as tank damage like a champ.

I like using Godrick soldiers for my Godrick build. Their names are Mark and Estaban, and theyre like the two henchmen a big bad villain knows full well are useless but they got charm so he lets them be.

One day we'll get a Crucible Knight summon that can finally let other enemies feel the pain of infinite poise and aggression

I think it would be really interesting to rank Mimic's Veil forms based on how useful they are in the places you can use them.

Maybe this helps you 64- noble sorcerer 63- nomad 62- miranda sprout 61- claymen 60- winded misbegotten 59- glintstone sorcerer 58- archers 57- mad pumpkin 56- soldjars of fortune 55- finger maiden therolina 54- skeletal bandit 53- albinauric 52- raya lucaria soldiers 51- page 50- jarwight 49- wandering nobles 48- jellyfish 47- fire monk 46- rotten stray 45- lone wolfs 44- fanged imps 43- battlemage hugues 42- putrid corpes 41- oracle envoy 40- demi-humans 39- skeletal militiamen 38- haligtree soldiers 37- vulgar militia 36- godrick soldiers 35- kaiden sellsword 34- avionette 33- kindret of rot 32- raya lucaria soldiers 31- man-serpent 30- perfumer tricia 29- twinsage sorcerer 28- giant rats 27- marionette soldiers 26- azula beastmen 25- nightmaiden and swerdstress 24- depraved perfumer carmaan 23- land squirts 22- dolores the sleeping arrow 21- cleanrot knight finlay 20- radahn soldiers 19- banished knight engvall 18- redmane knihjt ogha 17- latenna the albinauric 16- bloodhound kight floh 15- mausoleum soldiers 14- ancient dragon knight kristoff 13- ancestral follower 12- banished knight oleg 11- warhawk 10- blackflame monk amon 9- neoheli-loux 8- crystalian 7- greatshield soldiers 6- stormhawk deenh 5- dung eater 4- luthel the headless 3- omenkiller rollo 2- black knife tiche 1- mimic tear

Really Finlay should have the most health of any summon to be lore accurate (and shame for not mentioning her lore!). Girl carried Malenia from Caelid to the Haligtree by herself taking down everything in her way. She might not be the best to us, but she’s by far the greatest entity made into an ash. Maybe we simply never gained her loyalty enough

I think my favorite is honestly Latenna. Something you didnt mention and something I find really neat is that if you summon her near one of the wolves, she can tame, mount, and ride it. Its a really neat attention to detail.

29:20 Pretty sure the Land Squirts dont summon in random locations, but they will summon in set locations in each boss Arena. Theyll always summon in the same location of Red Wolf of Radagon, theyll always be in the same place of Makars arena. They have set summon points

Another thing great about Tiche is that she's surprisingly great at staggering enemies. Her big jump attack and that one blade drag do enough stagger damage to caused even Tree Sentinels to flinch.

To say Tiche “solos weaker bosses” is a criminal understatement. My +10 Tiche solo-ed MOHG. Fricking MOHG. I did nothing but pop Golden Vow at the start and watched her slice him into swiss cheese.

The difference between this video and Ms. Chalice is staggeringly hilarious lmao. Chalice is nice and sweet even to the worst of them. Rusty is just rusty 🤣

Mimic tear vs Rykard is comedy gold, running in with 2 serpent slayers and stun locking him to death in 39 seconds cracks me uo everytime 😂

I remember switching from Mimic Tear to Kristoff on my main playthrough and while he's obviously worse, I kinda fell in love with him just not giving a shit about much of anything and he quickly became my preferred spirit summon. You also made me nearly spit out my drink with how you introduced him, good job.
