I get that Minions are basically used as a, "Oh my, this is cute, haha great!" type of thing, but I wish there was more of a point.

What I am really getting at is this. I'd like it to where each Minion gives you an incentive for having it out. It doesn't have to be anything incredible, but something that can give people a reason to have their cute creature out.

For example: The Little Cherry Bomb minion could give like +5% fire resistance, and the Wind-up Airship maybe a 10% off flying on airships (Giving an incentive to actually use the airship is a + lol). Some minions could increase stats by like 3. Nothing huge, but a slight incentive regardless.

And for you super balance crazed people. Just put a slight cool down on how frequently you can bring out minions.

TLDR: Minions need small stat benefits or gameplay benfits to give them more of a purpose than just a cute thing following me.
