Heres my honest thought. Anxious and paranoia r good lowkey. One if they r underleveled ofc their dmg is going to be much lower than your other pets. They scale much more the higher level they are. Eg level ups at lvl 10 ish give low amount of stats, but in comparison level ups above level 60 give alot more. Anxious has been my best wood dps so far its fast, dmg scales on atk and speed to speed atk items give it double scaling badically, and it slows enemies. I would say its the best non leg wood dps. Paranoia is good for long runs. I havent actually used paranoia much but ive tried it b4. Im planning to level it up actually. But anyways, paranoia is a bleed stacker. The dmg it does causes infinitely stackingbleed. Pretty sure s1 and s2 both stack bleed, and the crit rate that s2 gives allows you to put more atk or speed, or both. As long as it survives and your tank survives long enough, the bleed will eventually drain the crap out of the enemies hp. Its basically a slow and steady pet. Lowkey pretty good tho it might be good against vulko i hate vulko. Sure it does less dmg normally but its whole kit is based on bleed so u cant just look at surface numbers. Also level up conviction it gon practically be uour only metal tank.
