 | Summons who are not only the best of their type, but there is no good workaround to not having them. |
 | Best in slot. Used in a large majority of team comps or essential to the best setups. |
 | Great summons used in a lot of setups, but better summons or setups may exist. |
 | Summons with a few niches. May also be okay replacements for better summons. |
 | Summons with one specific niche. They work but you probably want to invest in better summons. |
 | Not worth using or mentioning. |
While summon rankings can be a handy reference, they fail to tell the whole story of a particular summon. A D rank summon for example might only exist in one specific setup, but may be unreplaceable on that setup. Look for specific raid guides to get an understanding of the value of summons there.
