Summoner is an odd cookie. It's either really strong or really weak. A normal summoner that doesn't use the ascension youkai is much easier to handle/beat than a summoner that does.

EAST SIDE ASCENDED Seiryuu is indeed the strongest summon in the game. Punishing wind does make the youkai worth as much as a player. The normal Seiryuu isn't as bad due to its attack range and how easy it is to kite. Punishing wind Seiryuu on the other hand is very, VERY powerful.

What makes Ascended Seiryuu better? The youkai itself is quite a tankie with a decent amount of HP. If the youkai has Punishing wind active, not only is it doing +30-60 wind damage each round, it has an extremely long reach wind Hunt Wind that PULLS and inflicts Hunt.

That's the problem: AOE wind damage, super long spell that pulls someone into danger, can take hits really well and the pull that applies Hunting so the next set of Hunt Wind will hurt even more.

A status redoes for all youkai isn't exactly needed, just a nerf to its Punishing wind's with the effects it grants and lowering its defensive/HP a bit will be more than enough.
