Many highly ranked summons require a hefty amount of FP to conjure, meaning that in general, the best Elden Ring builds for Spirit Ash summons are Faith or Intelligence caster builds that need a good amount of FP anyway. Your choice of Spirit Ash will also be limited by the number of Focus Points your character has, which is determined by your Mind attribute. However, when fighting slow bosses, you can easily get away from them, giving Therolina plenty of time to heal you up with her incantations before you jump back into the fray. You should still consider using them if they can bring some valuable utility to a fight for example, while the Finger Maiden Therolina Puppet is often considered a poor choice since she doesn't have much health and doesn't dodge incoming attacks well. It simply means that they're generally less useful than the summons we put higher on the list.



Note that just because a Spirit Ash Summon is in a low tier, it does not mean that they are useless. With that in mind, we've created a definitive tier list that should give you an idea of which ones are the best and which ones aren't worth upgrading or building your character around. While the vast majority of Elden Ring's Spirit Ash Summons are very helpful, some of them are more effective than others. Source: Bandai Namco (Image credit: TierMaker)
