ServitorSummon Soulless (1278) (lv. 40), Summon Nightshade (1333) (lv. 56) and Summon Spectral Lord (1408) (lv. 79) are the main servitors of the Phantom Summoner. They are summoned with Spirit Ore, which is consumed additionally while the servitor is with you.

Atk. Servitor Empowerment (1299) (lv. 52) makes the servitor very durable but immobile for 30 seconds; Servitor Blessing (1301) (lv. 62) frees it from hold and paralysis. Transfer Pain (1262) redirects 10% of the damage the master takes to the servitor.

At level 81, Servitor Barrier (1496) makes the servitor temporarily invulnerable; at 83, Servitor Share (1557) passes some of the master's stats to the servitor.

Spd. by 20%, Sleep (1069) puts it to sleep, Slow (1160) slows it. Mass Surrender to Wind (1385) (lv. 58) lowers wind defense of enemies around the servitor, and against other summoners there's Betray (1380): enemy servitors attack their own masters.
Against buffsMage Bane (1351) (lv. 77) removes M. Atk. and Casting Spd. buffs from the nearest enemy; Anti-Summoning Field (1424) (lv. 80) periodically sends servitors in the area of effect to another dimension.
