Companion Combat

Individual levels scale both basic attack and offensive skill damage: level 1 uses this page's base values; level 10 deals 2.62× damage and also has 2.8× health and +9 armor. Caretakers and slimes with the same caretaker cannot harm their own bonded slimes.

Attacks use animated fire, water, frost, storm, venom, solar, earth, and arcane textures. Projectiles have luminous cores and tapered trails; impacts use expanding rings, with richer high-rarity sigils. Reduced motion and visual quality options limit animations.

In 0.17.0, all 60 species receive a companion combat profile based on acquisition difficulty. Starter species use affordable attacks; hybrids and advanced lineages add combos, control, and range. Prismatic, Supercell, Aurora, Eclipse, and Ancestral provide rare tools. Celestial occupies the final tier with powerful offense and protection, a long windup, and a high energy cost.

Prepare your team

Use adults bonded to the same caretaker, with at least 40 trust. Special skills require their listed energy cost; following and basic attacks still work at zero energy. Feed and care for the group before a ritual. Defensive responds to attacks received or made by the caretaker; Aggressive also seeks visible hostiles within 16 blocks. Passive retains support and protection while cancelling attacks, including projectiles already in flight. Follow requires training 40 and remains limited to five slimes per caretaker.

Tanks close in and attract more attention from nearby minions. Ranged attackers try to maintain distance; supports position around the caretaker or an injured ally. Companions try to move away from boss warning centers when safe ground is available. This does not guarantee a dodge: respect each attack's geometry and avoid trapping your slimes against walls.

For three to five companions, start with one tank, one support, and one to three attackers, including an elemental combo. Stone, Floral, Water, and Electric make an accessible team; replace roles with advanced lineages as you progress.

Combos and limits

• Water + electricity: Soaked lasts about five seconds. Electric, Storm, and Energized Crystal deal 50% more primary damage to wet targets. Chains have bounded target counts, range, and line-of-sight checks.
• Ice: three Chilled applications briefly root a target, followed by six seconds of shared freeze protection. Natural immunities still apply.
• Caustic: creates a short corrosion field that removes four armor points. Multiple casters cannot stack the armor reduction indefinitely.
• Eclipse: alternates solar and lunar phases. Landing the lunar phase on the same target before its solar mark expires triggers an area convergence.
• Healing: each ally accepts only one companion heal every two seconds, capped at six health per activation even with increased server settings.
• Shields: Ancestral grants four absorption health; Celestial grants eight. Shields last five seconds, with a shared ten-second renewal lock. Multiple slimes cannot stack them.
• Control: pulls and pushes respect knockback resistance; resistant bosses cannot be held in an endless tornado.

Attacks check range, sight, and allies. Projectiles can miss and walls block them. Interrupted windups cost no energy; launched shots cost energy even if they miss. Capture and world reload preserve recovery without replaying pending casts. These attacks do not destroy blocks.

All 60 species

Base values assume 20 ticks per second, before genes, armor, effects, and server settings. Damage is the primary special hit; areas, ongoing effects, fire, and contact are additional where described. Zero denotes support. Support range describes its assistance radius; species conditions still apply. Hover over the companion portrait to inspect its profile. Wild slimes retain their separate ecological abilities.

Continuous combat

Basic attacks continue while special skills recover. Melee keeps a one-second interval. Ranged and support slimes can fire weaker basic shots every 1.5 seconds, within eight blocks or their shorter profile range. Basic shots cost no energy and apply no special-skill effects: they use 55% of the species' basic damage, or 35% for support, with normal gene and level multipliers.

Defensive companions finish an engaged fight rather than abandoning it solely because the caretaker's initial hit aged out. Aggressive companions retain a valid target instead of switching to slightly closer enemies; direct caretaker threats still take priority. Brief obstructions allow up to two seconds of pursuit, but attacks still require visibility and cannot pass through walls. Wounded bonded slimes use companion positioning instead of the automatic flight response of docile wild slimes. Territory limits, ally protection, Passive stance, and skill costs remain enforced.
