I tried a summon build, not the same (not elemental), but still... it works stupidly well. You forgot (I think) to mention than eldritich sovereign are, somehow, "magic origin" and can so benefit from magic origin's targeting spells and effect (and gain the "attunement: astral resonance" too, somehow). Also, first tome is a 1 tome dip in Necromancy for the Soul / Thrall conversion effect, scale even into late game with the summon abilities of the Eldritch leader. Plus it gives you access to the shadow tree (and the -20% magic unit's upkeep seems to work on the sovereign too... strangely?) and give decaying to your battlemages. I've gone with Necromancy > Tentacle (for the tentacle combat summon, the traits and the enchantment for mages) > Summoning > Fey Touched (give a heal to your summoner is always good, plus the AoE random buff + defense against range is okay + The skirmisher, and I liked the theme XD), after that I was mostly done because even without rushing, as long as your leader reach level 7 you can summon T4 units pretty efficiently already for 0 mana, just by converting souls (let's be honnest, Mage Banes aren't friendly with your opponents). And you still have a swarm of squelettons for flanking and annoying everyone. XD Sadly I can't use Astral Echoes to level up my leader... Triumph, please fix that. >.>
Hey I usually don't make a comment on RUclips videos but I had to asked this what is a good build for story realm Grexolis cuz I'm not very good at the game I get that but I had to asked tho
Hi Icon, great build like always, please keep doing AoW content! One question, do you think tome of evolution would be beneficial here? Maybe instead of evocation. It also gives you some affinities for the empire tree
Hey there! I personally think the Summoner Path from the Mystics nullifies the Evolution Tome for this build entirely. Usually you run Evolution to quicken the process. Astral Echoes do exactly the same job at no extra cost, freeing up the tome slot for something else. I think Evolution wouldn't be bad, just more of something we already got enough of. At least that's been my impression.
Thx for the build idea. I have one critique though. You recommend arcane focus and keen-sighted what I don't get. Yeah its mystic culture but you said it yourself the tier 3 summoner is a Support unit and doesnt hit as hard and the backbone of your army are storm and stone spirits that don't benefit of those traits. Wouldnt resistant and tough be much better? especially cause you said they suffer from magic damage? Or drop adaptable and go resistant and athletics?
That's a very smart thought on your side! I ended up being annoyed missing a lot with my Battlemages, that's why I would've preferred the accuracy upgrade. It might be not much, but with the Mystic Update your T1 Battlemages smack quite hard if they survive into the Champion XP rank and the Evokers aren't too shabby either! Thing is, your racial traits will not benefit your elementals, so whatever you pick it should benefit your backline in one way or another. But I clearly see different approaches on this slot work out very well. When in doubt - defensive stats never hurt.

I went for druidic terraformers for an additional 20% upkeep reduction for elementals instead of runesmiths. Woked really well

We need blight and radiant elemental spirits!!! 🙃
Something like this was the first thought I had when I saw the new mystic "subclasses"
Though this build is much more fleshed out than my thoughts xD
Looking forward to trying out. Would love to see a build video for the new Eldritch based guide!
Almost there, my first Mystic Eldritch iteration is being processed by YT and being released any minute =)
