When Elden Ring first launched, the Mimic Tear was arguably the best of the NPC spirit ashes\u2014a twin with your exact selection of weapons, spells, and armor, meaning they could heal themselves, and help you double up on applying statuses like bleed or frost. The Mimic Tear was so good, that bringing a fully upgraded Mimic became the go-to tactic for any number of tough bosses.<\/p>\n
Understandably, the Mimic Tear was nerfed, though, as part of Elden Ring’s first patch, along with some other extremely powerful items and skills like the Moonveil Katana and the Hoarfrost Stomp.\u00a0<\/p>\n
