Squires [[File: Golden Rogue Squire (AmuletOfManyMinions).gif]]
Main Article: Squires Squires are a new Summoner weapon type introduced in the Amulet of Many Minions. They summon a single, powerful minion that can be controlled directly by the player, tracking the mouse cursor similar to a Yoyo or Magic Missile. A player may only control one Squire at a time, and they do not count towards the player's minion limit. Squires can be buffed through armor and accessories to act as a primary damage source, or used as a supplemental damage source similar to Whips.

Main Article: AI The Amulet of Many Minions introduces a new, custom targeting system to replace the vanilla minion targeting system. Using a new class of tool called the Pathfinding Rod, the player may click anywhere on screen to place a target at that location. Minions will automatically navigate around most terrain obstacles to reach this target, even if they don't initially have line of sight.

Target Selection Tactics [[File:Spread Out Tactic (AmuletOfManyMinions).png]]
Main Article: AI The Amlet of Many Minions introduces a tactics system that allows you to customize how your minions choose which target to attack. Using the Tactics UI, a player can choose from one of eight criteria for target selection. Examples include defending the player (attacking the nearest enemy to the player), attacking the strongest enemy (enemy with the highest base health), and attacking groups of enemies (enemes that are close to each other).

Minion Variety Bonus [[File:Lockbox of Many Minions (AmuletOfManyMinions).png]]
The Minion Variety Bonus is a new mechanic that increases the player's minion damage based on the number of unique minion types they control. The base rate is 3% per minion type, but it can be increased by several accessories. For example, if the player controls one Balloon Buddy, one Starry SkySlasher, and one Corrupt Cell, they have 3 unique minions, and will gain a Minion Variety Bonus of 9%. If they replace the Corrupt Cell with a second copy of the Starry SkySlasher, their unique minion count will drop to two and their Minion Variety Bonus will fall to 6%.

Similar to the Desert Tiger Staff, many summon weapons from this mod increase the stats of a single minion, rather than summoning additional copies, on repeated use.
