I have had some success using the celestial hounds with a flying commander.

I use CBM, Mytheology, and Nova Deus. I'm not sure which one adds this, but one of the summons is a Shishi. I think they are for everyone but they definitely seem thematic for TC. It's two commander tiger things, one male and one female. The male has patrol bonus and fortress defense bonus, while the female has a bite that does extra damage to undead/demons. They both have air 2. I am using them for wind guide since they can be summoned everywhere and celestial masters are slow and capital only. Male is obviously the more desirable. Female bite attack isn't too powerful.

Also, the national summon, the Huli Jing, is awesome! It's the same as the Jomon Kitsune, but is summonable everywhere at a low path cost (nature 2 I think) for nature gems, which TC is swimming in. They are guaranteed 3 nature and have like 3 random picks at 50% (AWES) chance and one at 25% (AWEN), so you can get 4N, 4A, 3S, or 4W with some lucky picks. Plus they are stealthy and unlike the rest of TC don't have to worry about getting old. The first one I got was 4N!
