Best Summons for Chaos Quests
Ranking the best Summons for Chaos-difficulty quests including defensive and offensive picks.
Ranking Criteria
Summon value depends on gauge cost, invocation duration, passive traits, and quest type. Defensive utility often outweighs raw damage because all Summons are invincible during activation—perfect for EX Burst absorption. Rankings reflect July 2026 preview data and will update post-launch.
S-Tier Defensive Picks
High-cost primals like Lucilius and Roland offer devastating controlled assaults but expensive gauge investment. Save for boss phases after building cost reduction through prior invocations. Mid-cost Summons with shorter durations enable more frequent defensive emergency buttons.
AOE and Control Options
Furycane excels at sustained area pressure during player control phases. Nazarbonju provides ranged damage with Glaciate freeze for crowd control. Match element to boss weaknesses where applicable. Lower-cost Summons enable gauge-efficient co-op chains where four players each contribute one invocation per burst window.
Building Your Summon Roster
Equip four complementary Summons: one premium boss-killer, one defensive soak, one AOE clear, one passive-trait specialist. Adjust per quest—Beelzebub fights may favor dark-element picks while Seofon/Tweyen demand EX Burst counters. Synergize with Master Traits that boost Summon damage or duration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Lucilius the best Summon?
Highest damage potential but also highest cost. Optimal for coordinated boss bursts, not general use.
