Question of pets and minders

[Moonbane]

I am looking into the 'beastmasters' to see if theres anything interesting there.
I am currently wracking my mind over these two.
Hector

Maria
https://vampire-survivors.fandom.com/wiki/Maria_Renard

Hector looks like he will get far the most pets over time. But how does it company to Maria being able to boost her pets?

[Moonbane]

Played with Maria, was quite solid. But it quickly was clear that it was Rapidus Fio and Sanctuary that was carrying the heavy load by the end of the run. Dont think ill do minionmaster again, adds to the visual mess, as well makes it more difficult to try pick up something.

[Arc]

Hector has a cap of 4
Isaac has a cap of 6
Maria appears to have no cap
I'm not sure why you think he'd have the most, he has the least of all chars with this gimmick

In all 3 cases they're underwhelming regardless of numbers or boosts since they just fire off non-maxed (often very low level), non-evolved weapons and there are too many broken weapons or mechanics like being able to get golden fingers on any map for them to even be remotely relevant in any capacity
They're not even good early on since they have to level up to their underwhelming caps

Additionally, he is offered a Familiar Forge every 7 levels as a 4th level up option up to a max of 16 Familiar Forges, regardless of weapon slot caps. Familiar Forges will stop being offered if you have no valid weapon or passive weapon level up choices.

This is why.
