Effect and Behavior
Summon Spirit fires a homing projectile that automatically tracks and damages the nearest enemy. The self-targeting mechanic removes the need for player aim adjustment — the projectile finds its own target and homes in regardless of which direction the player is facing. Holy Wand is the evolution material.
- Fires a homing projectile that automatically tracks the nearest enemy
- No directional input needed — the projectile selects its own target
- Automatically retargets when surrounded by enemies from multiple directions
- Holy Wand (evolution material) grants Might +1, raising damage while held
- Accessible acquisition: Ebony Diablouge selection or Librarian purchase
Evolution
Hold Holy Wand, level Summon Spirit to MAX, then open a treasure chest after 10:00 (evolved form name to be confirmed).
Holy Wand grants Might +1 as a passive, raising damage for all weapons including Summon Spirit while held as the evolution material.
Strengths
- Homing projectile always hits without aim adjustment — no wasted shots regardless of player movement direction
- Effective in surrounded situations where incoming direction is unpredictable
- Holy Wand provides Might +1 as a passive side benefit while held as the evolution material
- Librarian purchase option makes it accessible to any character without a character-specific prerequisite
Weaknesses
- Limited acquisition: Ebony Diablouge selection or Librarian purchase only
- Auto-targeting selects the nearest enemy — no manual focus on priority targets like elites
- Single homing projectile per activation limits simultaneous multi-target engagement
- High homing arc may reduce effective speed, allowing fast-moving enemies to outpace the projectile's tracking
Recommended Characters
Ebony Diablouge is the most natural pairing. The homing mechanic is most valuable in dense enemy environments where manually tracking specific targets is difficult. Holy Wand's Might bonus pairs naturally with any build that prioritizes consistent damage across all weapons.
Recommended Passives
| Passive | Reason |
|---|---|
| Holy Wand | Evolution material; Might +1 raises projectile damage and benefits all weapons |
| Spinach | Might increase adds to the base projectile damage |
| Bracer | Projectile speed improves the homing projectile's tracking speed and reach against fleeing enemies |
| Duplicator | Amount increase adds more simultaneous homing projectiles, enabling multi-target engagement |
| Crown | Cooldown reduction increases fire rate and sustained damage output |
Recommended Arcana
| Arcana | Effect |
|---|---|
| XIII - Wicked Season | Global stat increases raise Might and overall projectile damage |
| II - Twilight Requiem | Speed-raising arcana improves homing projectile reach and tracking speed |
Gameplay Tips
Summon Spirit's homing mechanic frees the player from aim management entirely. Move freely and fire continuously — the projectile handles targeting automatically. This makes it a low-attention high-mobility weapon suited to builds that are constantly repositioning.
Duplicator investment adds more simultaneous homing projectiles, distributing fire across multiple enemies. Without Duplicator, single homing shots naturally focus on the nearest enemy — useful for elite focus but slower at clearing swarms. With Duplicator, multiple targets are engaged per activation.
Securing Holy Wand early raises Might for all weapons in the loadout, not just Summon Spirit. It is the highest-priority passive — it serves the full build while satisfying the evolution condition.
FAQ
Q. Can characters other than Ebony Diablouge use Summon Spirit? A. Yes — the Librarian purchase option makes it available to any character once the Librarian is accessible. After initial acquisition it can also appear in the standard item pool.
Q. Can I choose which enemy the projectile tracks? A. No — homing automatically targets the nearest enemy. Manual target selection is not available.
Q. Is Bracer worth taking for a homing weapon? A. Yes — higher projectile speed reduces the time for the homing projectile to reach its target. Against fast-moving enemies and at longer ranges, higher speed improves the tracking weapon's reliability.
