Question: Pet Upgrades

When upgrading your pets with the first/second upgrade powers do you have to activate it on each pet separately or do they all upgrade if there by you? Im old school and just came back to game. You had to do it all separate but I just read a post that said otherwise. The upgrade animation only shows on selected pet so I assumed it was only on that one.

I thought this too at first, but it will hit the upgrade for everything you have currently summoned that can be upgraded. Just look for the visual cues on your pets, every upgrade power gives them some new goodie, like zombies have red puff breaths or the grave knights get shoulder armor. So summon everything, then hit the power once, you'll see all of them change.

It used to be that you had to upgrade each pet individually. This, combined with the fact that pets would unsummon when you entered an instance, meant that Masterminds spent a huge amount of time setting up every time they entered a new mission.

The designers, thankfully, fixed this. I believe it functions as an AoE, so as long as your minions are all fairly close by, they should all be affected.

They did basically the same thing to forcefields, which makes playing my Bots/FF character much more fun.

You can also check for the buff icon, if you haven't disabled the display of auto powers.
