In The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, all types of magic are powerful, especially with the right start as a mage. However, conjuration magic can easily turn the tide of any battle by summoning powerful allies to fight alongside you. Whether you’re a budding apprentice or a master of the arcane arts, choosing the right summon spell is crucial for maximizing damage, survivability, and crowd control.
In this article, we examine six of the strongest summons in Oblivion Remastered, ranging from base game classics to Shivering Isles exclusives, and analyze what makes each one an absolute must-have for any conjurer. From daedric monstrosities with high DPS to top-level celestial warriors, these conjuration spells will make you conquer any challenge!
The Voracious Hunger is a Shivering Isles extension of the Clannfear summon, boasting some of the best damage-per-second and huge health pools of any summoning in the game. With a comparable uptime to other master-level spells and rapid melee attacks, the Voracious Hunger fares well to ravage even high-level Daedra.
Its mobility allows it to chase down fleeing foes, and its raw damage output makes it a lethal choice in open-field combat as well as in the tight corridors of dungeons.
As a master-level base-game conjuration, Storm Atronach is a tanky and versatile summon. It’s resistant to paralysis and equipped with both melee and ranged lightning damage, and can absorb hits and deliver steady damage to many targets.
While not the fastest summon, its ability to hold the line against groups of enemies makes it an essential piece in any upper-tier battlemage’s inventory. And on top of that, its ratio of cost-to-duration makes it a reliable workhorse in lengthy battles!
A favorite of expert players, Clannfear has agility, good health, and an intriguing reflect-damage bonus that supports melee attackers. It’s ideal for fights in which maneuverability is the primary concern; its swift lunges can keep opponents on their toes, as its reflective aura bounces their attack back at them.
Clannfear is also an ideal choice for training Conjuration early in the game without draining your bank of magicka, as a result of its relatively low summoning cost.
For those who like raw magical ability, the Lich is arguably the best summoned spellcaster in Oblivion. Immune to most physical attacks, poison, and frost damage, the Lich casts powerful ranged spells that can destroy groups of enemies before they even reach him.
Its relatively superior base health than other master summons also means it will be able to stay in the fight for longer, so it’s a great choice for boss battles and crowd control situations as well.
Exclusive to the Shivering Isles add-on, the Golden Saint is summoned using a Greater Power rather than a regular spell book. With superior battle AI, high health, and high weapon and armor values, this divine knight fights with equal skill as an in-game knight built by the player.
Though usable only once a day, the Golden Saint’s blend of endurance and melee skills makes it a show-stopping companion in crucial battles, like the final fight in Sheogorath’s world.
The completion of the Golden Saint is the Dark Seducer, a second Shivering Isles summon via Greater Powers. Although more of a visual counter, the Dark Seducer employs similar martial abilities and survival with very little stat disparity corresponding to weapon loadouts.
Summoning the Dark Seducer not only provides raw combat skill but also thematic considerations, perfect for players to explore the dark undertones of Oblivion Remastered and deceit.
Perfecting Oblivion Remastered summon spells elevate your conjuration gameplay from simplistic spellcasting into battlefield command tactics. Summoning the merciless Voracious Hunger, the indomitable Storm Atronach, or the mythical Golden Saint are strong summons, where each provides strengths suited to playstyles.
Test out these top six conjurations and discover the best combination of damage, defense, and theme incorporation, and see how your celestial and Daedric followers make every fight yours to claim!
