When did Familiars unlock in Global 2?

The September 30, 2026 update brought Familiars to the Global 2 region as well. Menu → Familiars opens at level 40. That date applies to Global 2 only.

A ground Familiar and a floating Familiar can accompany you together. Legendary and higher Familiars have companion skills. For Hero and higher results, check the confirm/re-summon screen before accepting; ownership effects, equipped companions and exploration teams serve different purposes.

Short answer

Followers (level 64) are three characters you drain for ten-minute buffs; Familiars (level 40) fight as a ground-plus-floating pair and go exploring for rewards; the Mausoleum sends gravekeepers out for coffin cards. Unlocks, buffs, mark shops and published rates.

How do Followers work?

The three followers
FollowerSacred blood per drainBuff
Chusebert 15 Damage resistance, defense, critical damage reduction
Medea 15 Bonus damage, attack power, critical damage rate
Bormago 10 EXP, gold, damage to normal monsters

Buffs last ten minutes. Followers level up to 20 with Marks of Allegiance, not with a codex or pulls like the other two systems. The marks come from three different shops with weekly caps: Eternal Coins for Chusebert (100 coins, 120 a week), Elite Dungeon coins for Medea (110, 80 a week) and dark merchant coins for Bormago (1 coin per 10 marks, 5 a week).

What are Familiars and how do you unlock them?

Familiars (our translation of the Korean name; terminology may differ by region) are pets that fight next to you: one on the ground, one floating. They have their own codex and published summon rates, and you can send a party of them exploring for rewards.

How does the Mausoleum work?

  1. Contract a gravekeeper and send it out with a dispatch certificate.
  2. Open the coffins it brings back for cards. An upgrade attempt gives four chances to raise a coffin one rank.
  3. Enshrine cards for their effects. Match a card's origin to the shrine location to unlock exclusive effects and skills.
  4. Duplicates aren't waste: they level the collection, and the possession effect grows with rarity and count.

FAQ

Which follower should I level first?
Bormago is the farmer's pick. Medea is for boss and PvP windows. Chusebert is the one you pop when you need to survive a fight.
Can a follower run out?
Yes. A follower has 60,000 HP and each drain takes 6,000, so ten drains empty it. It refills over time or with a recovery catalyst.
Do Followers and Familiars carry over in a server transfer?
Yes. Netmarble's September transfer notice lists follower growth and HP, familiars you own and equip, and your Mausoleum enshrinement among the records that move.
