soooo im stuck on the bandits battle with the leader in the fungus area, i have an idea but i need mana points on my pets for this and i cannot find a list of items or anything i find helpful. is anyone able to help????

Your pets' mana fills up 10 points for every attack used (First one only, I usually press '1' to attack. The attack has to hit the opponent, if the opponent dodges, you won't get 10 mana).
You can use the purple Health Potions to heal both health a bit of a mana depending on the potion, you can also use a Mana Potion (Blue).

Be sure to equip your pet(s) with gear. Depending on the gear used and their Ability Tree, it helps to increase health, physical/magical damage, strength, intelligence, dexterity, agility, and allows your pets to hold more mana at once.
(Helpful guide to gear is found here.

Mana is generated by using either a pet's elemental base move, like Shadow's Force move, or Quick attack
You can use healing items to get mana, but most mana is generally from attacking
Bosses usually set your mana to 0 upon your entering a fight with them, so you have to build it up again, for the purpose of it being a challenge, but it isn't that much of an issue so long as your pets are set up correctly

If your party pets aren't equipped and don't have their element and proficiencies set you're basically wandering into a warzone in your underwear.



(at the moment between your two lv26 party pets you only have one element+prof point set and a single lv0 uncommon relic. All of this would be making life difficult.
A lv0 equip on a lv26? not great. An Uncommon equip, ever? bad, awful, uncommon equips are garbage
An unset element/prof point? can be immediately improved

What do you know of party-building? how equips should be chosen? We can help if it's needed)
