The Summoner Archetype in Remnant 2 caters to those who prefer fighting alongside loyal summons. However, maximizing the Summoner’s potential requires careful planning. Choosing the right equipment and skills is crucial to transforming your summons into a devastating force.
To unlock the Summoner archetype, you must get to The Forbidden Grove in Yaesha during the Blood Moon altar. Once in the main area, look for purple glowing orbs floating in the sky and shoot them to get Blood Moon Essence. You will need 15 Blood Moon Essence to unlock the Summoner class.
When you have the Summoner Archetype unlocked, you need to proceed toward finding the right tools for your build. This is where we help you overpower your character with an ultimate super summoner build in Remnant 2.
Best Archetype Combo
The Super Summoner Build focuses on giving ultimate damage from your summons in Remnant 2. This build uses given archetypes:
The primary archetype, Summoner, uses minions to do the dirty work for them. These minions are the major support you can get while playing with your team or solo. Not to mention, the perks you hold include controlling them entirely. The Summoner archetype will give you more skill damage when the summons are active, and it will be a good source of healing when your summons die.
Ruthless is the prime perk of this build. This perk triggers an enraged state in the summoned minions while boosting their damage, attack speed, and movement. This perk increases the minion’s ability, allowing them to give 50% additional damage to the enemies nearby.
The utility perks can be the Flyer or Reaver, depending on your fight. When you pair up with the Handler class, make use of its Attack Dog ability and Pack Hunter damage perk. The handler class gives you an edge with a companion on your side, and you can boost this advantage by using Teamwork and Best Friend utility perks on the Handler Archetype.
Best Weapons for Remnant 2 Summoner Build
You cannot entirely rely on your summons to do the job. You will need to plan a strategy to take out some enemies, for which you need some good weapons to complement your build. We have chosen the Chicago Typewriter, Tech 22, and Blade of Gul as your go-to guns. This build focuses on close-quarter combat, so you don’t need a melee weapon.
Let’s dive into why these are the best weapons for this build.
Long Gun
Chicago Typewriter – Healing Shot (Mod) and Spirit Healer (Mutator)
The short-range long gun, Chicago Typewriter, is an ideal choice for the build due to its rapid-fire rate and large magazine. Regarding the mod, the gun uses Healing Shot, which aims to restore an ally’s max health by 35%, whereas the mutator, Spirit Health, regenerates 5% of health over 5 seconds for every 300 mod power spent.
Hand Gun
Tech 22 – Rootlast (Mod)
The Tech 22 automatic pistol has a high fire rate and medium ammo capacity. This is an ideal handgun if you’re looking for accuracy in close-range combats. When you pair the weapon with Rootlash mod, you get a root tentacle summon with 103.5 damage, while Failsafe gives 20% additional damage.
Melee Weapon
Blade of Gul – Shielded Strike
The Blade of Gul is a hard-hitting sword perfect for close-quarter combats with swift and powerful blows. This sword has a +100% weak spot damage and when paired with the Shielded Strike, you will get more survivability.
Traits
Traits are subjective and can vary depending on what suits your gameplay the best, but we have a few recommendations for you. Regrowth and Kinship are mandatory traits for you, while you can also invest in Triage, Fortify, Swiftness, Vigor, Darkskin, Blood Bond, Rugged, Spirit, and Expertise.
Relic
Like Traits, Relics can be chosen according to your gameplay, skills, and summons. But with the Tranquil Heart, you can experience increased health regeneration over time. This relic gives you a Mythic Skill Damage and Healing Effectiveness, making it a safe choice for even apocalyptic difficulty.
One perk of using this build is that you will heal your summoned minions and dog whenever you use the relic.
Amulet
Silver Ribbon: This amulet boosts the skill damage by 25%, which is a huge increase, and grants Haste for 15 seconds whenever you use the Attack Dog ability.
Rings
These are the rings that we have chosen for our build:
- Burden of the Destroyer: This ring highlights your character’s primal instincts while increasing all damage dealt by 15% but decreasing firearms’ range by 35%.
- Seal of the Empress: The seal of the Empress increases maximum health by 20% while slightly reducing stamina.
- Soul Guard: This ring is ideal for boosting defense as it increases your resistance to damage by giving you a stack of Bulwark for each summon you control.
- Soul Link: This ring is perfect for increasing defense as it adds a 5% lifesteal to all your summon attacks.
Armor
For the Super Summoner Build, we will be going with the knotted armor set owing to its durability and resilience; you can also go for the Fae Royal Armor set because of its superior protection against all kinds of attacks. You need to know that this heavy armor will reduce your mobility, but you will also have a higher Bleed and Fire resistance rating.
