Black Knife Tiche Ashes | Elden Ring Wiki

Tiche over ranni the lazy witch.

I mean seriously what does ranni even do that makes her "speciale" she just orders people around and sit on her ass doing nothing but wait untale you did everything for her. I mean even if you kill elden beast and summon her for her ending she is all like "the battle is over i see" yea , without any help of you though thanks for watching me fail untale i got gud enough you lazy witch. And don't give me that bs of "you married ranni" Marriage isn't always about loving eachother you know. And this witch has done nothing but giving you weapon at the end of it all as anything remotely helpfull.

Tiche though... doesn't want anything from you for her own Benefits, nor does she Judge you for your actions. She is just happy to help out when needed. And doesn't want anything but to help you survive bit longer in battle if you want her to help you out. If anything i would even call her nicer to our tarnished/ giving more mutual support to the tarnished, then anything ranni ever did.

Well I have to say best spirit summon is either Tiche = potentially early gained summon that is solid from the get go vs Mimic = mid-late gained summon that can potentially be the strongest or even among the weakest depending on the PC that it clones

Submit

I was too lazy to fight Loretta in the Haligtree, so I used this summon for the first time (never had summon anything before) and holy cow, Loretta fell in less than a minute

Submit

Hands down the best summon against Malenia, while Mimic was busy serving as Malenia’s fodder.

Submit

Tiche give a new meaning to the term of " don't see the bride before the wedding " seeing how she herself, is atleast in body completely Invisible to us, to even see her face. (All we can see is her armor)

Submit

You were at my side when everybody else was abusing mimic tear. Now where did it brought them? Back to you.

Submit

She can send Malenia sprawling to the ground whenever she wants. If I didn't know any better I'd think I was cheating.

Dragon breath spams or AOE knockdown up against the invisible wall. These types of enemies in invasions i destroy with my level 20 shield charge char. Grab a greatshield with bleed already on it, put frost or poison buildup on it, light yourself on fire, put some health regen on like the talisman or incantation; easiest fights ever. Bullying dorks in the corner has been the ultimate win move since the arcade days of the 80s and 90s.

Submit

only using her for malenia

Submit

Blasphemous Blade 10 trivializes her in the Evergaol. If you have trouble with her early on, you can revisit her after picking up the blade once you kill Rykard. I nearly had her multiple times with Sword of Night and Flame 10 but, I always seemed to get greedy at about 10% and then couldn't get out of the "helmsplitter" or whatever its called. Finally, I decided to try Blasphemous Blade (first time to use it), leveled it up to 10, went in and killed her first try. It stun locks her to the ground. Depending on FP pool, you should only have to drink 1 flask to refill. I don't even count it as a win because the sword made it that easy and, considering I didn't have to execute the mechanics to beat her. Still, the ***** is mine now......

Submit

One of the best legendary ashes in the game. Can attack up close or from far away. Dodges very quickly with her float away, jump back dodge. Can take out some bosses all by herself without issue.

Submit

Image tiche had a grab attack for the pvp arena. Now that would be funy to see as a finishing blow.

Submit

Noble sorcerer better! Change my mind

Submit

I wonder if she can critical hit enemies because that would be cool

Submit

Ah tiche, become my blade once more.

Submit

Destined death lady.

image you where able to give tiche the full rune of death after killing maliketh.

(Becease she as well als all other black knife assassins only have a fragment of the full capabilities of destined death embued into Their black Blades)

Would be a hell of an upgrade for a black knife assassin.

Kinda funny that people think tiche should be nerfed the way she is now lmao.

I am not complaining.

Submit

Can Tiche be killed by death blight

Submit

Best waifu in game, fight me (as I summon Tiche to wreck your face)

Submit

A shame that you can’t use ashes in the evergaols. In ng+ I wanted to let Tiche fight her mother for me.

Submit

That Malenia,
kept crushing me hard, and so,
I went back to you. <3

One minimum summoning way is to have 19 Mind + Radahn's Great Rune on.

Submit

Does she have any special skills? This page lacks a lot, considering it's regarded as one of the best summons.

Submit

Well it's over now, tiche has joined the battle. (Black knife assassin theme in the background playing)

Submit

Well it's over now, tiche has joined the battle. (Black knife assassin theme in the background playing)

Submit

using her against Malenia is so strange
Tishe will dodge like everything Malenia does and float around the arena, sometimes staying insanely far away
but the moment Malenia uses anything that you /should/ get away from (Waterfowl, Aeonia), Tishe NEEDS to get in there and die immediately

Submit

People swear by the Mimic Tear, but I'm almost positive they just haven't given Black Knife Tiche a try yet. Godlike ash.

Submit

The only waifu in the game

Submit

Be honest if their was a "age of the black knife assassins" ending, people would call that the best ending becease of how mutch they love tiche, and wanting her to have a good ending with the tarnished.

Submit

Tiche favorite summon in the game, and I think she's better than the Mimic Tear unless you have a stupidly broken build.

Submit

1st a desert sorceress now a black knife assassin. From love their hood ladies

Submit

Tiche at +10 was useless for me against Maliketh. She just stood by chilling out. A couple times she decided to jump off the edge of the arena.

Submit

im confused with this one. after finishing Rannis quest i went to kill the dragon out side. Tough AF but this Ashe was knocking huge chunks off and not taking much damage if at all. but anything other than that dragon its like watching a fresh lvl 1 player fight anything. no damage at all. like some lil plants was only getting hit for 10-20 at +4 lvl(not typo only double digits) !?!?!?! a plant but without upgrade and taking on end lvl dragon shes taking 8-900 + a status damage over time.

Submit

Tiche absolute demolishes fire giant

Submit

I like how shes disgusting in pvp too

Submit

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.

Tiche me how to Dougie

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.

Submit

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

Submit

Submit

my baby mama

Submit

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

Submit

Didn't expect to summon Boss,
Therefore praise the message.

Submit

the BEAST

Submit

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
