Mystic Summons

Mystic Summons are a feature exclusive to mystics that function similarly to the venomancer's battle pets. There are a total of five different summons available in the form of skills: Devil Chihyu, Storm Mistress, Salvation, Cragglord, and Voidbringer. Mystics can only have one of these summons out at a time, but can still use plants while having a summon out. All summons can only be out for a limited amount of time, but this time limit can be increased by leveling the Transference passive skill. If a summon dies, the mystic will not have to revive it and can simply summon it again once its summoning skill is out of cooldown.

A summon's level will match the mystic's level, and is only updated when a mystic resummons it. Its stats are mostly calculated based on three factors: the summoning skill's level, the summon's level, and the mystic's own stats including stats gained from equipment. A mystic's accuracy and evasion are not factored into a summon's accuracy and evasion values.

Previously four of these summons could only be learned through skill books acquired from quests, however these are no longer required. The final summon, Voidbringer, still requires a skill book to learn.

Skills for Summons
There are a few skills that mystics can learn to benefit or utilize their summons. Mystics will not be able to use the skill Energy Leech on their Cragglord summon.

Devil Chihyu
The Devil Chihyu is the first summon a mystic will learn. It aids mystics in dealing single target physical damage and comes equipped with a stun skill. Using Energy Leech with Devil Chihyu increases your physical defense and critical rate for 20 seconds.

Mystics can learn the skill to summon a Devil Chihyu upon reaching level 7, and can upgrade the skill to level 10 once they reach level 52. Upon learning either the demon or sage version of the Devil Chihyu summoning skill, it will learn a third skill called "Boost" which increases its attack for 20 seconds.

Lore
Devil Chihyus are creatures created from Mystic Priest Ryao's power to help young mystics learn about summons and to learn to depend on themselves in the future.

Summoning Skills
There is a basic summoning skill as well as sage, demon, Primal World sage, and Primal World demon versions of the Devil Chihyu summoning skill.

Devil Chihyu Skills
The Devil Chihyu starts out with two skills named Folding Strike and Skull Slap. These skills are leveled up as the Devil Chihyu skill is leveled. When it is upgraded to sage or demon version or higher, it will learn its third skill named Boost.

The order of which the Devil Chihyu will use skills is Skull Slap, Folding Strike, Boost. The Devil Chihyu will not use Skull Slap if the target is immune to stuns or invulnerable.

Storm Mistress
The Storm Mistress is the second summon a mystic will learn. She aids mystics in dealing extra elemental damage through the use of metal skills for both single-target and multi-target attacks. Using Energy Leech with the Storm Mistress increases your magic defense and magic attack for 20 seconds.

Mystics learn the skill to summon a Storm Mistress upon reaching level 23 and the Aware of Principle cultivation, and can upgrade the skill to level 10 once they reach level 68. Upon learning either the demon or sage version of the Storm Mistress, she will learn a third skill called "Moonshade" which can seal a single target.

Lore
A story from Ritualist Septus tells a tale of when he was a young mystic, he had just entered a covenant with the thousand-year-old Mystic, Storm Mistress. He had passed all of her trials and was well on his way to greatness. However, in one of his final battles, a ring that signified the connection between the two, the Thunder Stone Ring, shattered into five pieces and were scattered across the Decaying Woods. Since then, Ritualist Septus has been kept back from completing his training, as Storm Mistress saw his failure as an unforgivable mistake. To this day, he wonders if someone found all the pieces of his ring and brought it to her, what would she say then?

Summoning Skills
There is a basic summoning skill as well as sage and demon versions of the Storm Mistress summoning skill.

The order of which the Storm Mistress will use skills is Luna Blade, Hush, Moonshade. The Storm Mistress will not use Moonshade if the target is immune to silence or invulnerable.

Salvation
Salvation is the third summon a mystic will learn. She comes in handy for giving mystics extra support through the use of her shields to protect you and allies from damage. She does not use any offensive skills at all, and is solely used for support. Using Energy Leech with Salvation grants you a shield and gives a minor version of Falling Petals. This lasts for 30 seconds or until significant enough damage is dealt to the Mystic.

Mystics learn the skill to summon a Salvation upon reaching level 33 and the Aware of Discord cultivation, and can upgrade the skill to level 10 once they reach level 78. Upon learning either the demon or sage version of Salvation, she will learn a third skill called "Warp Shield" which shields all nearby squad members.

There are no benefits to using Energy Leech with Cragglord.

Mystics learn the skill to summon a Cragglord upon reaching level 59 and the Transcendent cultivation, and can upgrade the skill to level 10 once they reach level 86. Learning the demon or sage version of this skill does not teach the Cragglord a third skill.

Lore
Though once mortal, Cragglord is a fierce flame god who brought disaster to the Earthguards. Many have fallen victim and perished to his strength while trying to gain his favor. The strongest Earthguard forces battled him once, but only managed to seal him away at the cost of many lives. The Cragglord has been locked inside a cairn in the Valley of Disaster for nearly a thousand years. It is now up to you to release him and bring him under your control.

Then you must defeat him and bring him to your control.

Voidbringer
The Voidbringer is the fifth and final summon a mystic will learn, and is an ultimate skill.

Upon the Voidbringer's death, it will explode, dealing a significant amount of wood damage to all nearby enemies. Using Energy Leech with your Voidbringer will increase your magic attack, physical and magic defenses, and critical hit rate for 20 seconds.

Mystics can learn the skill to summon a Voidbringer upon reaching level 100 and the Aware of Vacuity cultivation, and can level it up once. Both levels of the skill require skill books.

How to Get a Voidbringer
