Sphinx Sisters is a level 7 Summonings / Hexes spell that summons a guardian sphinx and a sphinx marauder. Recasting this spell will dismiss the old summons.

Strategy

Sphinx Sisters is the "basic" level 7 Summonings spell. It has the benefit of summoning 2 monsters at a time, and both monsters have ranged attacks, making them useful as part of a Summoner's repertoire.

Compared to Summon Hydra, Sphinx Sisters has a longer duration, more HP, and summons 2 monsters at a time, but Hydras are much better at burst damage.

History

This spell was added in 0.33, replacing Monstrous Menagarie.
