you can summon and buff it on your first turn
So ? Even if you buff its armor the widow still has FOUR TIMES more HP and does significantly more damage. For the same action points
or even outside of combat...
You can also summon the widow outside combat?
You can clear most encounters in the game (on tactician, mind you) by summoning four bone widows outside combat, without any of your player characters being limited by turns or being threatened at all.
It's clearly the strongest summon and spell in the game, generally summoner out DPSes any other combat skill.
on top of that the incarnate has opportunist talent and auto attacks people who try to run from him for even more damage
So does the bone widow, and again, it deals more damage
and you can give the incarnate a teleport ability as well...
which the bone widow has from the start, for just 3 AP.
If you need to buff your incarnate over several turns to make it compareable to the widow, one is clearly superiour. Once the widow is cast you can just focus on making your player character summon more totems/cast spells.
and then die to all the magic cc being thrown its way that it has absolutely no defense against...
It's defense against CC is its ridiculous health poll, what does a stun matter if in the same turn the enemies damage barely makes a dent?
I really don't understand why Larian made summons even stronger when they were already a cheap strategy in the first game.
