Companions

Hero classes
Inventory

**Companions** are your only friends in the horrifying world of Mage and Minions. You can find three of them in the first act of the game, the other four of them can be bought for 500 gems each at the Store page. To start, you have only one slot for companions, but you can unlock another two slots for 75 and 350 gems each. Each companion gives you one utility spell, and have other passive ones that unlock by his/her leveling up. However, even when your companion unlocks all of their skills, they can level up and the in-game system will automatically add their base stats (amount based by each character). Max companion level is 70, same as your hero's. As they reach max level cap, they cannot level up further. You cannot equip your companions. If your companion dies when facing a group of enemies, he will auto revive after you do, or after you eliminate the group of enemies around. Only Story mode companions have a small background story.

In your companions page are in total 12 slots where you can place your companions, and 3 slots are available for the battlefield (each skill slot is activated by drawing the special sign - first skill is activated by drawing Z, second skill is activated by drawing an O and the last skill is activated by drawining the M sign). Every skill has its own cooldown based by the level on the current companion in your deck.

Each companion has at least one special aura that gives additional buffs to the party (that means your Hero classes and other allies).

## Tips

When using your companions there are a few things to remember:

* Keep them alive for all costs.
* If they die, they will revive only at the end of the current combat so you can no longer control their Abilities. This can have a bad effect of the fight later.
* If it is possible, don't level them up! Their damage will be low at the low levels, but it doesn't matter. Their skills will have less time to recharge their abilities. This way you can use their skills more often.
* Maggie is your priority to buy.

## Trivia

* All the companions from the store can be bought unlimited times. So you can have three Xagans or Maggies in your team.
* All the companion auras are meant to stack.
* Tanks are the enemies' priority to kill first, then they will attack you.
* Please note that the companions in the store, do not have different stats from the 3 companions that can be found in the Story mode.
* Once you've already passed the Story mode level you can always replay the level, but without finding any companion inside.
