Summons defensive follower companions that orbit the player and deal damage to enemies they contact. The defining mechanic is an overheal trigger: each time the player receives healing while already at full HP, the followers fire an additional bonus attack. This ties offensive output directly to healing throughput.

Pummarola as the evolution material is an ideal pairing — its continuous HP regeneration keeps the player near full HP, naturally generating frequent overheal procs that trigger bonus follower attacks while simultaneously fulfilling the evolution prerequisite. Level scaling increases follower count, damage, and durability.

Max Guardian's Targe (Lv 8), carry Pummarola, and open an elite-drop chest after 10:00 to evolve. The post-evolution weapon name is currently unconfirmed.

• Defensive followers deal contact damage while absorbing incoming hits — offense and defense unified
• Overheal trigger means healing-focused builds gain higher bonus attack frequency directly
• Pummarola serves as both evolution material and a consistent overheal source — evolution prep and DPS improvement advance simultaneously
• Unique HP-to-damage linkage creates distinctive build design separate from standard weapon builds

• Evolution destination currently unknown
• Overheal bonus attacks require being near or at full HP — builds that take constant damage reduce proc frequency
• Follower-type weapon has reduced effectiveness when kiting far from enemy clusters
• Unlock requirement of 80,000 cumulative damage delays early access

• Self-healing characters: natural overheal procs from continuous regeneration raise bonus attack frequency
• Krochi: revive mechanic paired with regeneration creates frequent full-HP → overheal windows
• Imelda: +10% Growth levels the weapon faster for earlier follower coverage

• Pummarola: mandatory for evolution; continuous HP regen creates reliable overheal procs (top priority)
• Hollow Heart: max HP increase expands the overheal buffer, providing more opportunities for bonus attacks
• Spinach: +10% Might raises per-follower contact damage and bonus attack damage
• Spellbinder: Duration extension keeps followers active longer per summon cycle

• XI Sarabande of Healing: enhanced HP recovery maximizes overheal proc frequency
• IX Divine Bloodline: crit compounding on follower contact and bonus hits raises DPS

• Early (0–10 min): Level Guardian's Targe and secure Pummarola — the regen immediately starts generating overheal procs. Followers handle contact damage automatically, freeing positioning for other weapon setups.
• Mid (10–20 min): Carry Pummarola and push to Lv8 for evolution. Add Hollow Heart to widen the overheal window. Higher max HP means regeneration has more room to reach full HP and overheal more frequently.
• Late (20+ min): With consistent regen and high HP, overheal triggers become frequent — followers continuously fire bonus attacks alongside their standard contact damage. Staying inside enemy clusters maximizes the number of contacts per second.

Q: How do I unlock Guardian's Targe?
A: Deal 80,000 cumulative damage using Guardian's Targe across any number of runs. It does not appear in standard weapon offers until this threshold is met.

Q: What counts as overhealing?
A: Receiving healing when already at full maximum HP is an overheal. Pummarola's continuous regen naturally generates overheal procs when HP stays at the cap — each proc triggers the bonus follower attack.

Q: How many followers does it summon?
A: Follower count increases with weapon level. Amount-boosting passives may further increase the number of active followers, though exact counts depend on level and build composition.
