Deploying Shikigami and Combat Summons in Battle

Fighting powerful enemies alone in survival worlds can quickly overwhelm your defenses. By deploying custom shikigami and energy summons alongside your Jujutsu Craft abilities, you can control enemy aggro and boost your overall damage output.

Choosing the Right Summon for the Fight

Different summons fill distinct tactical roles during combat engagements:

• Clone: Summon a duplicate entity first when outnumbered. It actively fights while distracting hostile mobs away from you.
• Shadow Dog and Tiger Funeral: Call upon the Shadow Dog for loyal combat assistance, or bring out Tiger Funeral when you need a heavy combat beast to aggressively attack hostile targets.
• Rika: Save Rika for your toughest encounters, as this formidable cursed spirit unleashes destructive attacks.
• Miniblues: Deploy these specialized energy manifestations to assist your own strikes mid-battle.

Positioning and Arena Prep

Large summons and custom combat animations work best when your allies have clear paths to their targets. Before triggering a major fight, lure tough enemies into open terrain—such as a flat plains biome—so your shikigami do not get stuck on dense trees or steep ledges. Watch for visual particle cues, such as glowing blue cursed energy orbs, and listen to custom sound effects to track when your summons and combat abilities are actively engaging enemies.
