General Strategy
Summoners have a fairly low HP and pretty average mobilitycompared to other DPS units.
This is something you should consider in your general strategy when playing as Summoner.
But at the same time, you don’t want to be too alone before this point.
This is especially dangerous if you’ve got the option to’t applyRadiantAegis.
Don’t commit to summoning Bahamut or Phoenix until you know which might be the most useful.
