Your butterfly is also a valuable combat ally! As you approach enemies your butterfly will start attacking based on the mode you’ve chosen. It’s like having a tiny winged bodyguard.
Your butterfly runs on something called Deviant Power:
It starts with 100 points and slowly drains while summoned.
Once it hits zero your butterfly automatically returns to your backpack to recharge.
You’ll need to wait until it’s back at full power before summoning it again.
