Minions

Tooltip

Minions are summoned Allies which will accompany and fight alongside you. Persistent Minions will reserve a portion of Spirit while active.

Minions are allies summoned or raised by the player's skills, effects, or buffs. Minions do not benefit from modifiers to stats that affect the player character's offences or defences; only modifiers that specify or affect minions or allies will apply.

Minion categories

Minions are categorized as permanent or temporary minions.

Permanent minions

Permanent minions are minions that require typically require reservation of spirit.

The types and number of permanent minions to be summoned are selected in the skill menu, after which they are summoned automatically as long as the requirements and reservation amounts are met. They cannot be summoned manually using the skill. Permanent minions will revive themselves automatically if no other allied reviving minions have died within 7.5 seconds. Whenever a reviving minion dies during this period, the timer increases (capped at total 7.5 seconds), but each subsequent death will increase the timer by less each time.

Companions

Companions are a special type of permanent minions. Only one companion minion can be summoned at a time by default. Players can have up to two different companions via the Trusted Kinship keystone or Yriel's FosteringYriel's Fostering

It is suffering that forges the greatest warriors..

Temporary minions

Temporary minions are minions with an upfront cost, usually mana. Temporary minions will not revive themselves on death. Some minions may persist for a specified duration, while others will persist until they are killed or overwritten.

Some temporary minions require a corpse to be raised from.

Mechanics

Minions that use attacks will always hit regardless of accuracy/enemy evasion values.

Minions gain more damage with hits and ailments against non-unique monsters based on the level of the skill that spawns them. The bonus starts at 3% more damage at skill level 3, scaling up to 50% at skill level 8.

Controlling minions

Minions have different AI which affects their aggression range and skill use logic. Some minions may have options in the skill menu that allow minion aggression to be modified directly.

Minions can also be commanded manually to move to a location, target enemies, or open chests. Some minions may also have Command skills which are only used when activated by the player.

Mounts

Certain minions can be mounted, allowing the player to ride them. Riding a mount negates the movement speed penalty for moving while using a ranged bow or spear attacks.

However, taking heavy damage while mounted will cause the player to become heavy stunned.

Despawning

Reviving minions automatically die/despawn if they are too far away from the player, but will immediately revive without the usual timer.

Version history

Version	Changes
0.3.0	Minions now deal 3% more Damage with Hits and Ailments against non-unique monsters at skill level 3, scaling to 50% more Damage with Hits and Ailments against non-unique monsters by skill level 8. Player Minions now always Hit with their Attacks.
0.2.0e	We have changed the way that minion revive timers work. When your first minion dies, it sets the revive timer to 7.5 seconds as before, but each successive minion that dies increases it by less and less (still capped to a max of 7.5 seconds). This should heavily mitigate the situation where most of your minions are dead, but the revive timer keeps resetting to 7.5 seconds over and over.
0.2.0c	Minions have approximately 15% more Life through the early Campaign, tapering down to be unchanged by Gem Level 30 (or so). Gem Level 10 Minions now have 41% More Damage. Gem Level 15 Minions now have 50% More Damage. Gem Level 20 Minions now have 60% More Damage. Gem Level 30 Minions now have 79% More Damage.
0.2.0	Improved the performance of summoning and reviving minions. Revivable Minions now spawn with their skills on cooldown. This only applies to newly summoned minions, not Minions that have just revived. Persistent minions granted by ascendancy passive skills will now automatically be summoned when you allocate the passive for the first time. Adjusted Minion Damage and Life scaling. General Damage and Life is the same early game, but lower than before at higher levels, especially past Gem level 20+. Direct Minions now has a 0.5 second cooldown.
0.1.1c	Minions can now briefly squeeze through smaller gaps if they've failed to move for a short period.
0.1.1	Reviving Minions that died from being out-of-range of you now instead immediately revive near you. Fixed a bug where minion objects could stretch into unwalkable terrain.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
