The Summoner Archetype in Remnant 2 specializes in summoning minions and putting them into attack, so, here’s our best Summoner build to bring out the best of your team.

Gunfire Games’ latest souls-like installment offers a plethora of Archetypes or classes to choose from. While some specialize in close-quarter combat, others excel at fighting from a range. The Summoner class falls under the second category.

Summoners, as the name suggests, can summon minions in the game, which take most of the damage for the team. It does cost some HP off the character, but you can use them in various ways as situations demand.

Having said that, here’s our best Summoner build in Remnant 2, with the ideal secondary archetypes, weapons, skills, traits, relics, rings, and a lot more.

Best Secondary Archetypes for a Summoner in Remnant 2

For a Summoner, here are some of the best Secondary Archetypes in Remnant 2:

However, if you’re planning to play solo or your squad doesn’t have a primary healer, you may opt for Medic as a secondary archetype.
