Summon weapons

Summon weapons are weapons that summon temporary minions to fight for the player. Each minion type has its own behavior and method of attack.

By default, the player can only have 1 minion summoned at once. This can be increased using certain armor or accessories. Attempting to summon a new minion when the cap has been reached will despawn the oldest one.

Minions have the following stats. They can be increased using certain armor, accessories, consumables and the Summoning skill:

• Damage
• Attack speed
• Crit chance
• Lifespan — How long the minion can be active before despawning. All types have a base lifespan of 60 seconds.

There are a total of 6 summon weapons in the game.
