IIRC AH mentioned all hybrids should work with pets but except support all will be a reduced efficiency. For example assault core giving less than %15 damage bonus for each stack.
I have read that Assault (possibly just Assault Core? I'm not sure) works for pets, but only if you summon the pets after turning on the toggle. Obviously, this severely limits its usefulness to Masterminds. I don't know about the other Hybrid powers.

Ah yes, I hope this gets fixed down the line, because that's ridiculous for Masterminds. For a two min boost, you want us to resummon and retrain everything? um... no.|

So pets can take advantage of Control Radial's control abilities for about a minute and a half, at a diminished level? We need to have the numbers for this stuff - this is rather disappointing.

Yea right now Hybrid does basicaly nothing for MM's. Because as we all know The Dev's hate MM's.

With my testing (Crab spider and spider pets), they only receive the buff if you summon while Assault is active. Once Assault expires the buff on pets expires...|

HOWEVER
...once Assault comes back and you toggle it on, it will affect pets again if its the same ones you spawned while Assault was active. So it seems to me that when you spawn pets during Assault it gives them some sort of tag to be eligible for the buff if its up. With MMs, as long as you keep your pets alive this shouldn't be as big of an issue.
But yes, a fix to this wonky mechanice will definitely be welcomed.

I'm still a little confused on what Hybrid powers benefit pets.
any help please?
Support is obvious, but what about Control Radial? I assume Assault does nothing - or does it only grant the auto power when it isn't toggled? etc etc etc
EDIT: also, does the auto power for Support affect pets also - granting resist (not protection) to mez?
