Nobody Saves The World features a wide variety of different forms and abilities for players to use, including the option to summon familiar allies to back them up in battle. These familiars can take on a few different forms depending on the ability used to summon them, but they all function pretty much the same way: attack any nearby enemies who might wish their creator harm.

The major difference between familiars and the player character in Nobody Saves The World, though, is that the familiars constantly lose health until they poof out of existence. While it's sad to see these allies vanish from the world, there is one method that allows the player to heal their familiars and keep them in the fight for a little while longer.

There are three abilities that can summon familiars, and each one is linked to a different form. The first of these abilities players will likely have access to is the Magician's Hat Trick, which creates either a bunny or lion familiar with each activation. Hat Trick is the quickest way to summon familiars, but its high mana cost limits how frequently it can be used. The Magician can be unlocked by reaching rank B with the Guard form.

The second ability is the Zombie's Zombite, which infects enemy monsters who then turn into zombie familiars upon death. This is useful for turning large groups of weaker enemies into a mass of allied soldiers. To unlock the Zombie, players must first reach rank C with the Magician form.

The final familiar summon ability is the Necromancer's Summon Demon, which creates a damaging symbol on the ground and raises demon soldiers from any corpses within the circle. Before players can use the Necromancer, though, they'll need to reach rank C with the Mermaid, Rogue, and Ghost forms, making it one of the harder forms to unlock.

To actually heal familiars, players must first unlock the Necromancer form, as the Necromancer's passive ability, Blood Pact, is the key to restoring familiar health. Even better, Blood Pact simply restores familiar health for a percentage of the damage the player inflicts, so as long as they're engaging in battle, they'll continually heal their familiars.

Blood Pact heals for different percentages at different tiers, and each tier can only be unlocked with upgrade tokens and by raising the rank of the Necromancer form. At the first tier, Blood Pact heals familiars for 100 percent of player-inflicted damage, and it goes up by 50 percent at each level before capping out at 250 percent.

It's best to pair Blood Pact with a high-damage-dealing form like the Dragon or Bodybuilder to provide more healing for the familiars. Another solid strategy would be to equip other familiar-generating abilities on the Necromancer, as it always has access to Blood Pact's passive benefits. But be wary, as there's an enemy monster in the game that can steal familiars and turn them into its own minions.

Nobody Saves The World is available now for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
