Subtrope to SummonMagic. Compare/contrast the NonPlayerCompanion, who also assists the PlayerCharacter but sticks around them the entire time. See also TheCameo and ABoyAndHisX. Compare {{Mons}} and MinionMaster, where the entire point is summoning others to fight for you, and MookMaker and EnemySummoner for the non-playable versions. One step up from this is for the character to be actually controllable in some way, turning them into the "puppet" part of a PuppetFighter. Contrast ItsUpToYou, where you do everything without any kind of help.

This is because not all characters are clear-cut for the genre the game belongs to, either because of their CripplingOverspecialization preventing them from having a varied toolset or [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway their power of heart being]] ''[[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway that]]'' [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway lame]] (even accounting for CompetitiveBalance) or another issue (technical or not) preventing them from making the playable cut. So the solution to the problem is usually them appearing as part of the moveset of another playable character. [[SummonMagic The assist appears, does their stuff, and vanishes]]. After all, even the toughest OneManArmy has to call for backup sometimes. As a result, expect them to be beloved enough by either [[EnsembleDarkhorse the fandom]] or [[CreatorsFavorite the developers]], if what they do is effective enough.
