guardian forces but these creatures are
among the most powerful allies in the
Final Fantasy universe
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 Final Fantasy summons for this list
we’re ranking the most powerful and
effective summons in the Final Fantasy
franchise while also taken into account
fan favorite summons and those who make
multiple platform appearances throughout
the series number 10 Phoenix the first
summon on our list is literally and
figuratively a rare bird a summon
creature which heals the party while
also taking on their foes indeed
Phoenix’s flames of rebirth possesses
the power to revive fallen allies while
at the same time dealing some scorching
fire damage to enemy hordes
the phoenix down feathers are also known
throughout the Final Fantasy franchise
as inventory items which resurrect the
dead making the impact of this summon
creature one which is felt throughout
the Final Fantasy universe number nine
ramaa
all hail the god of thunder this badass
summon takes the appearance of a wizened
yet regal old man with a long beard and
staff
appearances can be deceiving however for
Rama possesses the power of thunder and
lightning at his fingertips assisting
the party via his powerful attack known
as judgement bolt
ramaa has kept pretty much the same
apparent throughout his time in the
Final Fantasy universe making him one of
the mains day elemental summons which
assists players during the series I know
now I know why the tales are told number
8
Leviathan this Lord of the Seas exists
is one of the most venerable Final
Fantasy summons Leviathan takes the
appearance of a giant sea serpent one
whose tsunami wave attack proves most
effective against enemies a fiery or
mechanical origin
this Ocean Guardian hasn’t always been
on the players side however as his first
appearance in the Final Fantasy
franchise included swallowing the whole
party before eventually becoming an ally
to summoner characters in the later game
entries number 7 Alexander
talk about impressive depending on which
Final Fantasy game one plays the casting
animation for this summoned creature can
take quite some time before its full
fury can be unleashed
the immense mobile fortress known as
Alexander is worth it though as this
gigantic summon casts divine judgment
which deals heavy holy damage to all it
hits this makes Alexander a particularly
worthy ally to have when facing down
undead or otherwise unholy enemies while
the summons supreme stature makes him
one of the most visually impressive
creatures you’ve seen in the series
number six he freed a classic never goes
out of style if free might just be the
closest thing to a reliable old friend
in the summoning world a fearsome got a
fire which has been an integral part of
the Final Fantasy bestiary for many
years the Freak possesses an appearance
similar to that of an Arabian gin or
genie albeit with large demonic horns
and a penchant for tossing down massive
fireballs from the sky upon the parties
enemies the presence of this summon is
always welcomed whenever players are
pitted against creatures of ice and snow
while this summons legacy is one of the
first castable allies acquired by the
party makes him one who’s reliable
reputation is safe and secure
number five anima
the next summit on our list reminds us
more of something out of a Hellraiser
franchise rather than anything remotely
related to the worlds of fantasy or
magic
Anna must summon animation is almost as
horrific as her appearance as this
shackled and howling mistress of pain is
raised up via chains from the underworld
in what can only be described as one of
the most badass summoning sequences in
Final Fantasy history Animas attack is
even more devastating as her overdrive
attack envelops enemies into her
netherworld where she snaps free of her
chains and assaults enemies with
unlimited power that’s what we call
sharing the pain number 4 Shiva
don’t let this summons delicate looks
and Grace deceive you for Shiva the ice
queen is not a creature with which to be
trifled Shiva’s elemental attacks of
diamond dust and heavenly strike are
tailor-made to be utilized against any
fiery hoard making her the yin to a
fritz yang she’s also one of the most
commonly encountered summons throughout
the Final Fantasy franchise having
appeared in nearly every Final Fantasy
outing since the third game
number three nights of the round
it’s a mentally powerful summon attack
calls up not one not two not even three
allies to assist the party but 13 are
three and Knights who come together to
deal massive damage to any enemy
unfortunate enough to be caught standing
in the general vicinity each Knight
attacks with its own unique weapons and
spells with the final attack arriving in
the form of King Arthur himself armed
with a mythical sword Excalibur
this story gets a little twist in the
14th installment of the Final Fantasy
franchise however where the player is
actually pitted against the Knights
during the game’s final climactic battle
as they take the form of King thorn in
the seventh and his Knights of heavens
ward
number two Odin many summons from the
Final Fantasy universe take their names
or origins from world mythology Odin is
no exception to this idea existing is
one of the series most popular and
enduring characters Odin usually appears
as a giant imposing figure similar to
his stature as the all-father of Norse
mythology he is clad in armor a horned
helmet and rides a multi-legged steed by
the name of sleep near upon which both
his sword and Lance gunner are mounted
Odin’s summit attacks and Tetsu kin has
the power to inflict instant death upon
the party’s opponents making him one of
the most impressive and effective
summons to ever grace a final fantasy
screen
before we call up our top summon here
are a few honorable mentions
number one Bahamut we saved the best for
last of course that being d fearsome
king of the dragons the mighty battle
mode
this summon has existed as a
fan-favorite throughout many games in
the Final Fantasy franchise even
receiving its own game for the Japanese
super famicom Bahamut lagoon in 1996
acquiring Bahamut is never an easy task
however often requiring the party to
best the beast in battle before the
Dragon King will be able to be summoned
so please fight with us once achieved
however the hamlets Mega Flare attack
more than proves it’s worth by
inflicting defense penetrating non
elemental damage against which very few
enemies can survive
do you agree with our list feel my pain
come on Imam which final fantasy
summoned do you think deserves our top
spot for more mega top 10s published
