Summon Combat Ally Phantom Guard

Features

• Smart Combat AI: The Phantom doesn't wait for enemies to get close. It scans the entire map, flies directly to targets at high speed, and engages them automatically.

• Full Loot & XP Credit: Unlike other summon mods, when the Phantom kills a monster, you get the XP, the loot drops, and credit for the Adventurer's Guild Monster Slayer goals.

• Area Defense: The Phantom fights for you in the current location. It vanishes automatically when you leave the map (go down a ladder or warp) or when its duration expires.

• Bodyguard Behavior: When no enemies are present, the Phantom hovers faithfully behind you.

• Balanced Gameplay: Summoning requires Energy (Stamina), making it a tactical choice rather than a cheat.

Configuration (GMCM)

This mod is fully compatible with Generic Mod Config Menu. You can tweak almost every aspect of your ally to balance the game to your liking:

• Ghost Stats: Customize Max HP, Attack Damage, and Attack Speed.
• Tankiness: Adjust a "Damage Taken Multiplier" to make your ghost fragile or nearly invincible.
• Duration: Set how long the summon lasts (Default: 90 seconds / ~2 in-game hours).
• Cost: Adjust the Energy cost to summon.
• Controls: Rebind the summon key (Default: 'V').

How to Use

• Make sure you have enough Energy.
• Press V (configurable).
• A Phantom will appear behind you.
• It will immediately hunt down any monsters in the current area.
• The Phantom will vanish if you leave the map. You can simply summon a fresh one in the new area!
