carries this familiar in the Circle and hands it over. Three things have to be true before that happens: you are playing Milk, you are back in the hub, and you have finished at least 1 run as Matcha.

The scenes that do it: Blank Intro Demo Only then Blank Intro 2 Demo Only. The familiar is yours at the end of the second one. This playtest still plays both scenes when the conditions above are met.

stops appearing in the hub while you are carrying it.

You carry one familiar at a time, and it is saved with your run.

Runs to the monster nearest you, drops its attack there, waits, then runs back to your side.

Its attack is Cat Shriek, which carries its own numbers.

The damage effects its attacks spawn:

• Cat Shriek: 5 damage, boosted by Familiar Strength
• Chaos Shriek: 5 damage, boosted by Familiar Strength

It attacks on a timer. Anything that raises your attack rate shortens the wait, and so does missing health. Your attack rate bonus divides the wait.

Missing health speeds it up too: the attack rate rises by 10% for each point of health you are down, while the perk that turns that on is active.

Familiar Strength starts a run at 0%. Every hit from a damage effect marked as familiar damage gains its starting damage multiplied by Familiar Strength.

The 8 damage effects it boosts:

• Cat Shriek
• Chaos Shriek
• Dragon Puddle
• Fairy Blast
• Jean Wick
• Lich Blast
• Puddle Wail
• Rebuke Blast

What raises it in this build:

• Mana Burn: +2% Familiar Strength
• Anchan, The Emperor (+10% Duration), reversed side: +10% Familiar Strength
• Anchan, Justice (+100% Stun Duration), reversed side: +50% Familiar Strength
• Anchan, The Devil (+1 Reroll), reversed side: +100% Familiar Strength
