First winner here, and first summoner character. Antimagic. Honestly, it was pretty easy, especially after I beat Urkis and got Fungal. Only deaths came (1) in the Deep Bellow at the beginning, and (2) to the Master, when I stupidly didn't realize his invisible pets were pounding on me.

The East was dull. Orc ambushes were all easy, as were the Prides. The Vor Armory Room of Death was a bit of a challenge, but not crazy-hard. Trickiest part was showing myself to the ancient wyrms to wake them up. Final battle on High Peak was a piece of cake (two movement infusions, closed the portals quickly, summoned a horde of monsters, healed my ally with my turtles).

The orc ambush after the Master was hilarious. I was all geared up for it, ready for a tough fight. The ambush happens, I summon my dragons, and in one turn 80% of the orcs are dead. The achievement should read, "Against all odds ... unless you're a summoner"

I may have been lucky with drops, I don't know. This was my first summoner and only my second TOME character after I took a break for a few years. Around Dreadfell I found mindstars that gave bonuses to Fungal and a bunch of Summoning Talents -- possibly these made me overpowered. I'm not really sure if I should have swapped them out for Tier 5 mindstars in the endgame. (I found it unclear what weapon stats are good for summoners.) In the end I didn't worry about it as I was cruising along easily.

Speaking as a newbie, it's a little strange that Summoners can be Antimagic. Making loyal animals appear out of thin air seems pretty ... unnatural.
