Elden Ring becomes "a spectator sport" as the action RPG's latest patch transforms Spirit Ash summons into boss-slaying machines more worthy of becoming an Elden Lord than us

Malenia seen in Elden Ring's cinematic story trailer.

Elden Ring's new patch buffed almost every single Spirit Ash summon in the game, and it looks like some of them might have been slightly overtuned as they're now wreaking havoc on bosses. 

As well as every spirit summon (except for Mimic Tear) receiving attack power and damage negation buffs when leveled up to +8 and higher, alongside when your Shadow of the Erdtree Revered Spirit Ash Blessing is at +5 or higher, 81 out of the 84 Spirit Ashes have been given extra, individual buffs. For many of them, this simply ensures that they "will no longer stagger as easily," but others also got HP and attack boosts.
