Black Knife Tiche Ashes | Elden Ring Wiki

She helped me beat Malenia on a ng+2 run. I used dual ice swords with glintblade phalanx and tiche would knock her down and draw aggro while I froze her with jump slashes and stunned her. Brought a glintstone kris to attack from range too.

And she is simply fantastic against radagon and eb.

Submit

Most Tarnished just want to spend another kind of “Night of the black knife” with Tiche. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Submit

Best performing ash I've used in the radagon, eb fight. (4x so far)

Not so hot against Malenia.

Submit

Good against easy bosses that you don't need it and worthless against the hard bosses like whore-lu. will die before the sweaty muscle boy second phase.

Submit

The trouble with this summons is that in boss fights that take a long time, like beastman/maliketh and the optional dragon placidusax, the buff wears out and they start regaining health. this means at the end when they are strongest, they are healing. You're essentially transferring all the health from the easy stage to the hard stage of the fight.

Submit

Ok, I have to admit, at lvl 109 i had enormous trouble vanquishing Tiche. It took me 30+ times before i knew her mechanics enough to stand a chance at all. When I finally bested her, i was so proud. I have had a lot of trouble killing the godskin in Volcano Manor trying it whith my Mimic. It finally took me under two minutes with this lady aboard, leaving me in sheer awe how easily she stopped fase 2 in which i always died.
This made me realize why i had so much trouble with beating her !

Submit

First off, revenge. Vengeance oh Vengeance. I get more fun out of watching her bully all the enemies in the game than I get from fighting them myself.

Submit

So everyone is saying "tiche has no face, or even a head" but nobody thinks why that is the case at all? Oke then let me ask you a question.

Wouldn't a assassin hide their Identity if they do their work?

I mean look at the normal black knife assassins. They use armor (their hood) that conceals their face by means of a shadow that their hood provide. So when you look at them you can't see their face becease of it.

Now tiche is a ghost/summon. And all summons/frienly ghost have nothing that conceals what they originaly looked like before they died. ( with a few exceptions) but tiche is not showing her face or even a head under her hood why is that you ask? Becease she is obviously hiding it.

How does she do that we don't know nor is that important to be honest. It's just that you have to do with what you get, and what makes sence. Fromsoft always keeps thing from us lore wise, so that we might find the answers our selfs. And that is normal for fromsoft to make fans speculate their about their characters and worlds.

This site massively inflates the value of this summon. It's a good summon don't get me wrong, but if the boss is immune to knockdown, there's definitely better options over her. Without the knockdown, she's pretty much only good for the max health dmg, which with a summon that will actually be more aggressive you could easily accomplish the same or better dmg while managing to keep boss aggro, something tiche can't do for **** because she focuses so heavily on dodging around

Submit

How disappointing that From locked one of the best spirit ashes behind such a shitty boss. Oh well, such is the norm for From’s shitty design for ER.

Submit

very good

Submit

So you kill her mom just to steal her late daughter's ashes to make her fight for you.

Very cool.

Submit

She has no face

Submit

So dung eater puppet or tiche? For who is the best summon in the game, mechanic whise?

I stick with both. But sadly the game only allowes one to be summoned on your journey.

Submit

Requires 23 mind or Cerulian hidden tear to summon. keep in mind when respeccinng

Submit

Tiche pros: black knife assassin, very cool and swag
Tiche cons: you have to fight her mom (also a black knife assassin)

Submit

Tiche and Finlay being total badasses merely through text

Submit

Ranni? Melina? Melania? All the real ones simp for Tiche.

Submit

Tarnished are the most inconsistent spirit ash in the game. Sometimes they'll completely shred the boss with barely any input needed, but most of the time they just play distraction so I can put in Blades of Death. Now, neither of those are bad properties, but I think I'll stick with my Black Knife Ringleader Alecto ashes.

Submit

I have 2 waifus holding my hands in battle. This lovely lady who holds my right hand, and fires death to all are enemies! And missus pully crossbow, who has the advantage, of firing multiple status effects in someones head!

They both stayed by my side aslong as i can remember, and they stole both my heart and soul.

Submit

Tiche. Turn off my pain inhibitors.

Submit

How am I supposed to dodge that attack which has AoE all around him and basically perma-stuns and 1-shots me? lol...

Submit

Extremely good against Malenia. Counters her heal from hits.

Submit

That destined death debuff is somethin else.

Submit

I wanna play as a tiche character, bigger body, faster dodge.

And fight other tiche-like characters, and we dodge each other and have a fight. Instead of they two shot me, I 15 shot them, and I have healing flasks and they don’t.

Submit

I’ve always noticed that when Malenia begins her fight by walking slowly to you, Tiche almost always hits with her blade of death. So when she’s running, you might want to use black blade or blade of death yourself if you need the debuff.

Submit

Why no love for Milicent?

Submit

Tiche: w-what are thou doing t-tarnished. (Blushing)

(Tarnished kneeling down with the elden ring in his hand)

Tarnished: wil you remain by my side untale the end of time tiche?

Submit

All the beta males be simping for Melina or Ranni, but let’s be real those two are just gold diggers. Ranni just wants you to become her lord and Melina only wanted to use you to get to the capital. Tiche is where its at she be fighting a long side you try’in to help you become Elden lord, what has either “wifu” ever done for you. My dudes Tiche is the real wifu worthy of my fellow giga chad’s affections.

Submit

Tell me why she chooses to stand around while I solo the boss? Can’t even throw **** at him.

Submit

The knaifu waifu

Submit

Tiche my beloved

Submit

Ranged attack will always be relevant due to hp scaling and dodge tanks enemy attacks. She performs the spirit ash job properly since she can deal damage and be a strong distracting tank to take the load off of you. Truly is one of the best ashes in the game, might even be better than mimic tear.

Submit

Imagine simping for Ranni when this ice cold killer ***** exists

Submit

I just had an odd problem with Tiche, while fighting the first Farum Azula dragon.

The fight takes place on a long, tilted walkway with a fall-to-your-death edge on the right and a wall on the left (as you enter the area). A minute or less into the fight, Tiche started walking into the wall. Facing the wall, her legs moving, not doing anything else. She paid no attention to the dragon, which began taking an unhealthy interest in me. I died.

I worried that this unfortunate career choice on Tiche's part would continue, but it didn't. In the next couple of my attempts against the dragon she performed appropriately, and eventually we won.

I've never seen this problem before, with Tiche or any other summon. Has anyone else seen it?

Submit

Girls in real life: evil, selfish, manipulators, who are cold as f uck, and talk behind your back! When you simpley are a nice person.

Tiche:fight along side you, helps you when ever you need her, and wil remain by your side untale you no longer need her help.

Now which is a better choice?

Submit

Tiche is the only summons that managed to get killing blows against four major bosses for me, Maelina, the Fire Giant, Radagon and the Elden Beast, get this summons and get it to +10, you won't be disappointed.

Submit

Absolutely bonkers against Malenia. Will dodge most of her attacks and rip off 1/10th if her health with her ranged attack. Managed to even score the killing blow in the second phase, vs my level 10 mimic tear that struggled to make it past the first.

Submit

Average mimic tear fan vs average black knife tiche enjoyer

Submit

I tested Dung, Omenkiller, Amon, Tiche and Oleg at the Gatefront grace (where there is that large group of lower-level knights). At least for group fights like this, the ranking is:

Dung > Omenkiller > Oleg > Tiche and Amon

Omenkiller and Oleg had really similar performance but Amon was definitely the worst, once getting down to 20% health. Dung was the best. Against large groups of humanoid enemies, his rolling gave him more survivability. Tiche of course has the coolest move set but I found that he performance is the most variable. Sometimes she performs similar to Omenkiller and Oleg but once she almost died (~5% health left).

On top of that - I witnessed Dung pull off a critical hit. I've never seen any other summon do that. Perhaps Tiche does it too but I haven't seen it happen. So I wonder if it is something specific to puppets.

In terms of sheer survivability though, I think that Omenkiller and Oleg are the most "consistent".

Overall though, I would consider Dung, Omenkiller and Oleg to be S+ Tier (as well as Mimic if you have a good build). You really can't go wrong with any of these. Aside from Mimic, Dung is probably the best if you have a bleed build.

Submit

This thing is so good. Was taking a few tries on Mohg then decided, "What if i try a spirit ash for this?" then saw i got all ghost gloveworts and heard tiche was good. Started upgrading and the next try we beat Mohg with no sweat.

Tiche is too good for this game lol

Submit

So no head? *breaks sword*

Submit

According to the Stormhawk King spirit ashes can refuse to be summoned if they so wish. That's to say, you killed Tiche's mother and took her spirit ashes away, but she's still willing to be summoned by you?

Submit

Does she have a face. Or even a head.

Submit

Apparently they patched a black knife right into her prefrontal cortex at some point, because she doesn’t anything but pace back and forth, while I yell at her for being a useless c word. Nothing like her ultra-aggressive sisters.

Submit

Literally the worst spirit ever. Terrible damage and garbage AI. 0/10 mid AF

They should’ve just put Friede in this game as an agile spirit.

Submit

We can't apply Curse to Bosses.... But Tiche has Destined Death :)


Hide behind a Greatshield and let her melt Bosses. Dont let them touch her tho, she is fragile.

Submit

do you think tiche smells nice? she probably smells like pretty flowers... or death.

Submit

Find you a waifu that will go out of her way to kick malenias ass for you. -this comment was brought to you by the tiche simp gang

Submit

Perhaps the real elden lord were the tiche ashes we obtained along the way

Submit

Constantly summoned tiche after maliketh fog, she immediately dodge for no reason and fall to death lol.

I'm really glad she let me tag along on her quest to become Elden Lord.

Was she nerfed? Tiche +5 lost twice in row to Omen in Stormveil Castle when many other ashes succeed.

Therefore praise the message.

Damn near solo'd Radagon for me, good ash

Submit

I read all the comments and I'm what. I used Tiche multiple times now and she never performed well. Did they change the AI for her?

Submit

Wake up to reality guys.
Summon is awesome but have but sides as well. Ok is doing a lot of damage but she attacking some times. Mostly 25%attack 75% dodge.

Submit

The AI for this is excellent, perfect balance of attack & defense. I wish the Mimic was intelligent like this. Honestly able to hold it's own in a lot of engagements. Plays midrange & close range perfectly.

Submit

The name is probably inspired by the Greek Goddess of fortune Tyche, the equivalent of Lady Fortuna of the Roman Pantheon, spelled differently obviously, but pronounced as "Tiche" in ancient Greek. Not an inappropriate name if you ask me, seeing how she carries yo sorry ass throughout the game.

Submit

Compare to Tiche, Mimic is soooo clumsy when fighting Malenia. Wait maybe that’s just how I look when I’m fighting.

Submit

hehe

Submit

Mommy?

I wish literally any other summon was half as overpowered as Tiche is

Switched to this after seeing my mimic basically become Malenia's personal healer. Downed her in two attempts

Oke i have an question. can someone explain the lore in why the spirit summons actually help you?

Alecto is the name of Tiche’s mother, but is also the name of one of the Greek Furies. Another of the Furies is named Tisiphone, which may be the inspiration for Tiche’s name.

Submit

Oke i have an question. Can someone explain the lore in why the spirit summons actually you ?

Submit

Usually I am not to much into tall girls, but I shall be damned if Tiche ain't a tall cup of water!

But for real, Tiche is one hell of an amazing Spirit Ash! I never really liked Spirits tbh. I always felt like the idea of Spirits is actually really cool but I didn't like their implementation into the game. I mean in the end Spirits Ashes were supposed to take aggro and give the player some breathing room but somewhat this just feels unsatisfying.
Tiche is different tho! Whenever I summon her, I immediately have the feeling that there is someone fighting along my side instead of just being there and occasionally taking a hit.
She is fast, hits very hard, dodges a lot which in turn makes her surprisingly endurable, has ranged and melee attacks and most importantly, has a badass look to her!

As a souls veteran and former enemy of Spirit Ashes (was a weird mindset looking back to it), I never thought playing with a summon could be this fun! HOWEVER, I have to admit that having Tiche +10 can trivialize quite a lot of the games bosses. Tiche is a legendary spirit and she really lives up to that.

Conclusion is, if you're looking for the ultimate controller annihilating challenge, she is definetly not for you. But if you like to have a chill experience or you want to do some kind of Fate cosplay where you send your servant into battle and let her go crazy while you hide, give her a try!

Submit

She ****s. Like holy ****. I am playing unga bung so I thought nothing would top my mimic tear, but holy **** Tiche does not mess around. Real strong "He asked for no pickles" vibes from this one.

Submit

Prelate's charge was able to push the mob into a spot in the rocks where it stopped responding and I pummeled it to death.
The spot was left of the mob when facing its start point. I started the charge so it pushed from the right side.

Submit

I think her red flame attacks are bugged, against some bosses they cause insane dot damage, once the dot terminate the enemy hp are partially restored, this is very strange. It happened to me with Astel.

Lmao love watching these casuals spam dislike on anyone who thinks tiche shouldn't be the only good summon

Submit

Everyone is talking about Ranni and Melina, but the real elden ring waifu is Tiche.

Submit

I don't like girls but I'd marry Tiche anytime. She's the best and I love her.

Submit

I may have just run into a bug between her and Gurranq. I summoned her to help 'pacify' him. She gave him one little love tap, and they both immediately took ten million damage and exploded. Considering FromSoft games, this may be an intentional thing about the Rune of Death, but I can't test it again, since the game saved before I closed it down

Submit

I'd say Tiche needs a tiny nerf- like, no joke here, just tone down the percent damage by a little bit, maybe from 10% to 7.5%.

But, in return, give all the other spirits buffs. I know Tiche is still gonna be goated, but could she share the spotlight with anyone other than mimic tear?

Submit

"flight from the royal capital" is this a typo or can they fly?

Submit

her name in japanese is 黒き刃ティシー so her name is pronounced "Tishee". kinda cute tbh

Submit

basically the best all around summon his range attack dishes out tons of damage, procs a strong DoT and reduces target's max life for some seconds. Using cursed blood pots+this summon is easy mode.

Submit

I was able to defeat her pretty easily by jabbing her with my Giant Hunt-equipped Colossal Greatsword. You can land a successive hit right as she starts to get off the ground. Back off when you run low on FP, and then repeat. Not a bad fight. Very cool music, and an exciting duel vibe. One of my favorite Evergaol battles.

Submit

Ok. Everyone should play this game the way they want to ofc, I am totally not against that.
But can someone explain to me what the fun part is about this summon solo destroying an entire boss on its own while you lie in the middle of the bossroom floor with your Starfish (Spread out) Gesture? Doesn't that ruin that whole "sense of accomplishment by overcoming tremendous odds" thing?

Submit

Favorite spirit, carried some dragon bosses for me. Even helped me clear Fire Giant

Submit

Easy mode

Submit

The best waifus, are the ones that fight along side you.

Submit

Basically killed Malenia on her own.

Underrated waifu ahead

Submit

Better than melina cause she helps in battle. We need more fanart of assassin chan

Submit

beats melania's ass like she owes her money. i summoned her after deciding that a black knife would probably do better than mimic tear, so i never saw her fight before. jfc. i let her take aggro for a sec while i went to grab my runes, thinking "oh **** i better hurry up i hope she doesn't die too soon!" only for me to turn around and see melania on the floor with a quarter health done while bad ***** tiche was untouched. she proceeded to absolutely wreck melania afterward until the ol waterfowl caught up with her. still tho. my queen.

Submit

i've never felt like kissing my screen so bad untill i summond this best girl for the mel fight i dead ass looked at my screen askinng myself why i didn't cop this earlier i did mel about 17 times and always died before i stopped. I then found tiche then gave it a try for fun, paird with blood hounds step on a mage death reaper build which i dunno why i forgot to equip it the first 17 times but after that one run mel died and i could finally go onto more suffering. (elden ring the game where u want to feel a new type of suffering instead of repeating the same one)

Better then melina who only helps you in one boss fight. WHERE WHERE YOU WHEN I WAS GETTING ATTACKED BY THE LOBSTERS!?
