Your first minion, explained

The sources do not establish a universal capture chance, Rein recipe, or availability for every named enemy. Read the item and target information in your current game before spending a resource.

Before using a Rein

1. Inspect the Rein’s description and any stated restrictions.
2. Check which minion the action will unlock, where the game provides that information.
3. Read the action or confirmation carefully before consuming the item.
4. After unlocking, inspect the minion’s effect and available management options.
5. Compare it against the needs of your present hero rather than rarity alone.

This is a careful-use checklist. It does not invent a button sequence for game states that our sources do not document.

Read the minion panel

The official store screenshot shows the selected Defiled Wyrm, a Legendary Dragon, in the minion panel. It gives you more to compare than rarity alone.

Visible field	Screenshot example	How to use it
Rarity and species	Legendary · Dragon	Identify the companion before comparing effects
Location	The Defiled Keep	Note the listed location; this field does not promise a drop rate
Carriage Capacity	34	Include capacity in your comparison, alongside combat effects
Everliving Blood	Passive · +100% Life Regeneration	Check whether regeneration addresses your current survival problem
Sepulchral Scales	Passive · +50% Magic Resist	Consider whether magic damage is relevant to the encounter
Action	Summon	The panel provides a Summon control for the selected minion

These values belong to the pictured companion. They are not universal minion stats or a promise that this is the best companion for your level.

Choose a role before choosing a companion

The official store describes both passive buffs and active companion abilities. In the screenshot, the left-hand list can be narrowed with All Rarities, All Species and All Attributes filters. Use the available filters to find a candidate, select it and inspect the details before summoning.

For a survival problem, compare the displayed defensive effects against the damage that is stopping you. For another goal, read the candidate’s actual effects rather than assuming a higher rarity solves it. Keep carriage capacity in view if you are comparing support utility as well as combat.

Once you have a candidate, use the panel’s Summon control and check the resulting state in your game. This screenshot documents the selection panel; it does not establish the whole Rein-unlock sequence or a companion-switching cooldown.

Why have I not found the Rein I want?

Our official sources do not provide a target-by-target Rein drop table, a guaranteed number of kills or a universal capture percentage. The visible location field is useful context, but it is not enough to promise a farming route or rate.

Check the exact Rein and minion names in your game. Treat an older demo video or a single player’s drop report as a lead to investigate, not a guaranteed result. Before investing a long farming session, look for the target, game version and sample size behind a claimed rate.

Check the result

Use a familiar encounter with your previous setup as a baseline. Change the companion alone and observe whether the result improves. For the pictured Wyrm, that means checking whether its defensive effects help your actual problem rather than expecting a direct damage upgrade.

Keep a note of what changed so that you can reassess it after a patch. If equipment is the next bottleneck, continue to the worked weapon comparison.
