Competitive Landscape
The Elden Ring summons system offers a plethora of spirit companions with unique abilities, making it stand out in the genre. Unlike Dark Souls' limited summon availability, Elden Ring grants flexibility in summoning anywhere outside boss battles. The variety and customization options surpass Dark Souls' NPC summons, adding depth and replayability. However, the reliance on FP for summoning can be restrictive in some encounters, requiring players to carefully manage their resources.
