if i use cannon as support will suqah freeze me, and is there a way to make my bull ant not attack?

A bull ant is a combat familiar, so unless you stand away from the Suqah and constantly call your familiar, he's going to attack. As for the freezing, I don't know. I'd assume the Suqah would have to hit you in order to freeze you, so as long as they can't hit you you should be good.

suqahs on the north part of the island will be able to mage you if your using a cannon. suqahs in the southern part (nearest the astral alter) dont mage at all, although there are less of them so cannoning would be slower

its alrgiht ive done the task and used a different familiar, for the record they always use mage and melee
