How to Use Staffs and Summoning
Staffs You Can Obtain
The mod includes three staffs:
- Dragon Priest Frost Bite Staff
- Dragon Priest Frost Spike Staff
- Flame Atronach Summoning Staff
The two Dragon Priest staffs are offensive frost casters. The Flame Atronach Summoning Staff is your summoning tool and requires Flame Atronach Heart as the ingredient tied to it.
Using the Frost Staffs
Equip a Dragon Priest staff in your main hand and use it like any cast item. Frost Bite applies a chilling hit; Frost Spike throws a spike projectile. Both fit a ranged playstyle that saves your melee durability. Pair them with Frost Spike Spellcaster Trap or Frostbite Spellcaster Trap placed in your base so attackers take frost damage before they reach you.
Summoning with the Flame Atronach Staff
Hold Flame Atronach Heart and craft the Flame Atronach Summoning Staff through its shaped recipe. Once equipped, use the staff to call a Flame Atronach to fight alongside you. This is the strongest option when you are clearing Draugr packs, since the summon absorbs hits while you attack.
Supporting Gear
Carry Magma Soup as food during long fights — it keeps you fed without leaving combat. Keep Ebony Arrow and an Ebony Bow as a backup if your staff runs out of usefulness mid-fight.
