Elden Ring Mimic Tear Ashes Information

  • Consumes HP (660), but does not consume FP.
  • Mimic Tear will make use of the following:
    • Currently-equipped Weapons - Prioritizes use of right-hand weapon wielded when summoned, can also powerstance dual wielded weapons.
    • Armor and shields (if applicable)
    • Talismans
      • If Shabriri's Woe is duplicated by the mimic and subsequently unequipped by the player, it will become the focus for aggro.
    • Spells/Incantations (if using a staff or seal respectively)
    • Arrows/Bolts - Unlimited supply of those equipped when summoned
      • Swaps between Arrows/Bolt types at random when firing.
    • Consumables - Can use as many as the player had equipped when summoned
      • Mimic Tear will not increase offensive consumable use even if lacking a weapon.
      • Exception: Flask of Crimson Tears appears to be limited and does not need to be equipped by the player when summoned.
    • Visually altered by the Host's Trick-Mirror and the Furled Fingers's Trick-Mirror. Replaces the white aura with the cooperator aura or removes the white aura entirely, making it identical to the player.
  • Mimic Tear will not make use of the following:
    • Great Runes
    • Pouch
  • Mimic Tear will still attempt to use items for which they do not meet the stat requirement . Examples include: 
    • Will attempt, and fail, to cast Spells/Incantations for which it doesn't meet the stat requirements, even if there are alternatives for which it does meet the requirements.
    • Will attempt to use weapon skills for which it does not meet the stat requirements.
    • Will 1-Hand a weapon even if it fails to meet the STR requirement of the weapon when not making use of the 2-Hand bonus.
    • Will continue to prioritize use of right-hand weapon given when summoned, even if it fails the stat requirement and another weapon is available to it.
    • Note that the mimic doesn't get stat boosts from Godrick's Great Rune, equipment, or other sources; so if you're using any of those to meet the requirements for spells or weapon skills, it won't be able to use them.
  • You must be near a rebirth monument to summon spirits from ashes.
  • When you are close to a rebirth monument and able to summon, a monument icon will appear on the left side of the screen.
  • Mostly because it mimics the summoner, it is vulnerable to Death Blight and will die instantly when it procs.
  • Since V. 1.03, some players encountered a bug where the Mimic won't vanish after a Boss' death but will instead continue fighting "the air"  as if the boss was still there.
  • Mimic Tear has Multipliers for HP and stamina the base being 1, it also has a flat 50 damage negation regardless of armor.

      All this crying about using a provided tool. Newsflash: if you wear armor, you are making the game easier. If you use talismans, you are making the game easier. If you use a weapon instead of your fist, you are making the game easier. Literally "things I need are fine, things I don't need are not fine." Get the f*** out losers.

        What I love about mimic tear is it’s like a customisable summon. Want a glass canon that dishes out insane damage but dies quickly? Give it a staff and some op spells. Want a damage sponge that can distract the boss for most of the fight but does weak damage? Give it some heavy armour and heal spells. Want a support unit to buff you as you fight the boss? Give it a seal and a few support incantations. There’s so much you can do with just one summon

          I think summons are a fun concept. I don't care if someone uses them to beat the game, I mean they're a part of the game. But if I see one more comment like "Idk why people say this boss was hard, I just used mimic tear and blasphemous blade and killed it first try", then I'm gonna lose it

            Every one talking about how OP this ash is. mean while me watching my mimic tear smack the enemy with there staff for 2 damage 10 times in a row:

              summoning a +10 mimic is the equivalent to reducing the bosses health by 50% MINIMUM.

                Why should the mimic tear be balanced?
                Well there are people out there (including me) that would LOVE to use this summon bcs it has so much potential when it comes to builds but unfortunately it's way too op and makes the game a joke which we DON'T WANT believe it or not bcs the fun thing about this game is not to win against the bosses but to actually fight them. What about us? Why should the game only cater to you people who suck? I want a mimic tear that compliments me, not do 70% of the work for me. Again why should the game cater to you people and not people like me? Even at +0 it's still too good. Literally hopeless. I want to be included too but the majority is just yapping about how their free win summon shouldn't be balanced. unlucky

                  using this makes the game a joke. It's obviously an accessibility option for ppl that are unable in some way.

                    You may complain that it is op, but it is nowhere near as op as summoning Let Me Solo Her and having him beat Malenia for you.

                      Why are people so pressed lmao like I think a game should be enjoyable as well and Elden Ring is already difficult as it is... Literally nobody cares if you can beat it without summons etc. Touch some grass

                        I like the idea of ​​spirit ashes, but my problem with it is that it's way too overpowered. They can literally solo entire Bosses. I would use them if they were like Summons in Dark Souls 3 and just supports you and doesn't go full ofense into battle.

                          I decided to start a run but I’m like a pokemon trainer and the only way to fight is to summon mimic and let it fight while I sit back and cheer it on I allowed myself to fight two bosses without Mimic which were Radahn and Mimic

                            It's pretty funny to strip naked, unequip weapons/talismans and summon the tear and watch it throw hands at bosses. It's kinda like a mini-game, the goal is to keep the mimic tear alive for the duration of the fight

                              • There are two ways to make Elden Ring easy: over-leveling and this Spirit Ash. It's literally just your already overpowered character, and then ONE MORE of them.

                                        This thing is really an easy mode, I got it to +10 doing Ranni’s quest and it’s really making every boss a cakewalk on first try. Amazing for those who don’t really wanna get into difficulty but still experience the game, but I just wanna feel that sweet taste of victory, instead of killing Godfrey and Morgott in 1 minute each on first try and just forgetting about them.

                                        Basically, use it on your own risk, as it ruins whole balancing for most bosses out here.

                                          I had the Wraith Calling Bell on my item bar, and it spent a whole lot of time ineffectually trying to use that rather than using my good attacks.

                                            So, I decided to do a quick test as to whether armor actually works or not. The "flat 50 damage negation regardless of armor" part threw me off a bit. So I used the Godrick Soldier just next to the Gatefront Ruins Site of Grace, the one with the shield and spear. I did one test without armor and one with the Tree Sentinel armor set. My mimic tear without armor took around 30-34 damage per hit and with the armor took around 20-23 damage per hit.

                                            So armor does matter. And I'm going to guess that it gets the same poise as you do.

                                              This thing is not as OP as most people think. Yes it's awesome to make a copy of yourself to fight along with you. But the thing is that the Mimic is only as good as you are.
                                              So yes if your build is good then the Mimic will be of great help. But if your build sucks then then the Mimic will be pretty much worthless cannon fodder.
                                              In other words if you are good at the game then yes this thing will seem OP but if you suck then it will be useless.

                                              Come to think of it maybe thats the whole point - create a summon that seems like cheating and then laugh at the scrubs who thought it's an instant win cheat code.

                                              • Scrubskin duo. One and a half man. The guy she told you not to worry about. Literally me. There was a sign "lord ahead" before the fog wall with stonesword imps, didn't get it first. Love the game.

Half the time the moron does nothing, you have to make sure he has only the weapon you want him to use because if he does anything at all he's likely to pick the wrong thing. If he actually helped you you were lucky, it's all RNG. The last resort of lazy game developers since dice was invented.

He literally soloes Malenia with this setup, though it depends on RNG and you still should buff/heal him with supporting incantations. Absolute gigachad. That's how I beat Malenia on my summons only run

It last about 1min and you can carry 10 pot.

                                                                          • Anonymous

Let us say your healthbar is at 2000. 2000 multiplied by 3.3 is 6600. This means the mimic tear will heal 66 health per normal hit and 2046 per AoW. It will heal more health than your entire health bar every time the AoW hits an enemy.

                                                                            • Anonymous

Have the Kindred Exultation equipped and you'll even get an AR boost for said poison procs; Venomous Fang's with poison infusion work well here, otherwise give it a poison Antspur Rapier, and get double DOT............... Black Flame incantations, Black Flame Tornado, and Corpse Wax Cutter are all viable on the Mimic, due to their % based damage.............. Don't forget to keep 1 Rot Pot, Swarm Pot, Sleeping Pot, Poison Spraymist, Uplifting Aromatic, and other useful status pots/perfumes on your equip bar for it to spam. If you have the Pulley Crossbow, equip two types of status bolts, and Mimic will quickly proc said status on foes from afar; Burred Bolts and Black Key Bolts are good. If facing a boss with a weakness, like Deathbirds or Erdtree Avatars, equip it with Holy Water Pots, Volcano Pots, etc, to target the weakness. If you have the stats, even Urgent Heal and a seal on Mimic can come in useful for it. The Blessed Dew Talisman and the Icon Shield give a useful 5HP per second regeneration, which along with Great Stars w/Stormcaller can make Mimic very bulky to take down. Don't forget Mimic can use infinite Raw Meat Dumplings (sans poison), as well as Warming Stones to heal you both; just be warned it may drop it in a group of enemies, so be warned.

                                                                                • Anonymous

Like if I summoned it with Bull Goat's Armor set versus no armor set whatsoever, would it have the same amount of damage negation either way? Does that apply across all damage types, physical and elemental? What about poise? Does it have a static amount of poise, regardless of whether I summon it where the BGA set or not?

                                                                                    Is very important you have ALWAYS 10 warming stones on your fast access consumables slots as THOSE using the Mimic Tear Summon frequently!
                                                                                    THIS ASHES uses frequently many of his mimetic warming stone randomly on the bosses fights .
                                                                                    Usually the Mimic Tear throws it and even try to get near it, but sometimes that aleatory abandoned warming stones save me countless times int he bosses fights on the game!!!
                                                                                    And MY WARMING STONES are saved from been used...

It’s not like someone using mimic tear is going to ruin someone else’s Elden ring experience

                                                                                        • Anonymous

Brilliant AI, Fromsoft! Just brilliant!

It fights like literal dog sh*t, always misses with his skill bc it stands way too far away from the boss to hit it with the skill(Prayerful Strike), gets knocked down with every hit by every boss in the game, even the weakest. Just terrible, a rock has better AI than this utter disappointment of a summon. Welp, back to Dung Eater I guess.
