Bahamut (Umbral) - Shiva, Titan, Leviathan
Phoenix (Astral) - Ifrit, Ramuh, Garuda.

Plays like EW SMN but you can choose to go into either Bahamut or Phoenix at the start of the battle and it simply flips to the other once you do the full rotation. Then once you complete both trances you then unlock Judgment Trance which lets you summon Alexander. However I would like to see them have fun with SMN. Like a random chance to summon fat chocobo or even king mog with only visual differences but otherwise no change to potency or gameplay.
the problem with this is that its basically will become a bluemage at this point. more summons is not the answer to fixing the class.
