How the archetype works
The intended question is whether companions can carry a meaningful part of the run while the player maintains uptime, positioning and survival. Specific scaling is not claimed here.
What to look for
Reliable uptime
Can the summon or companion contribute consistently across rooms?
Resource loop
Can you sustain the actions required to keep the archetype functioning?
Inventory fit
Do the required pieces activate without destroying your defensive baseline?
Failure recovery
Can the run continue when a key piece does not appear?
Questions to test
Count actual contribution
Observe room clear and boss pressure rather than trusting a tooltip in isolation.
Change one variable
Swap one item or Talent at a time so the result is attributable.
Record version and conditions
Note difficulty, weapon, major items and the game version before sharing a conclusion.
Claims held back
Turtle costume, Void Summoning, Amethyst Conjuration, Golden Needle, Tactical Manual, all reported percentages, companion thresholds and Hard Mode Tier 37 claims remain unverified.
