Best Summoner/Necromancer build in SpiritVale
Destructoid has published a guide outlining the best Summoner/Necromancer build for players of the game SpiritVale, focusing on how to make the most of the class's ability to raise companions and, from level 50 onwards, undead minions. The guide matters to players seeking to optimise their character, as it recommends prioritising summon strength over personal combat skills, offering a distinct playstyle from other classes.
The build centres on gear that boosts summon power and survivability, including the Jack-o'Lantern headgear, the Soulbinder set for armour, and the Corporeal artifact set, paired with accessories such as the Bronze Crescent, Iron Ankh and Grim Reaper card. Key skills include Summon Mastery and Skeleton Mastery to strengthen companions, alongside Soul Strike, Dissonance Well, Guardian Bond, Bone Spear and Bone Spikes for support and damage. The author particularly recommends summoning the Abomination, Skeleton, Mage and Wraith, with the Wraith cast last due to its long cooldown.
In short
- Guide details optimal Summoner/Necromancer build for SpiritVale players.
- Recommends gear and skills that maximise summon strength over abilities.
- Key summons: Abomination, Skeleton, Mage and Wraith (cast last).
Explained simply
SpiritVale is a video game where players can choose from various character classes. The Summoner/Necromancer class allows players to summon companion creatures to fight alongside them, and from level 50 onwards, to raise undead minions as well. This creates a gameplay style quite distinct from the other available classes.
Destructoid, a gaming publication, has released a guide aimed at helping players optimise their Summoner/Necromancer character. The guide is particularly valuable for players seeking to maximise the effectiveness of their summoned companions, as it outlines strategies and equipment choices that prioritise summon strength over direct combat abilities.
For players new to this character class, such guides provide important direction on how to develop and equip their character effectively. Since the Summoner/Necromancer plays differently from other classes in SpiritVale, dedicated guides help players understand the specific mechanics and choices that make this playstyle work well.
