Its even crazier than that. I dont know what Kyrian followers look like, but for Night Fae Te'Zan hits all melee enemies every 3 rounds for about 300 at 30. Chalkyth hits all melee every 4 rounds with a 3 round dot that does about 180 total. I have one guy who has an arcane blast ability every round for almost 200. Ni'ya gives 20% damage boost to adjacent allies. Add the basic trapper troop that hits all enemies with an ability that reduces their damage by 20% for 2 rounds.
On my Night Fae main I log in when I wake up, send out all the 4-5 four hour missions available. At lunch I check again, and send them back out on four hour missions. At dinner time I do more four hour missions, or 8+ missions for meat, or, etc. Just before bedtime I'll check the four hour ones and send them out one last time.
Most missions just need 1 follower, but I send two sometimes just to get exp. I probably knock out 10-15 missions a day for free gold, anima, pet charms, and crafting mats.
Only time I lost a mission was last week. I literally said out loud, "What the fuck? I LOST?!" because it almost never happens with Night Fae.
