Tactician = Lifelong friend + Supporting fire interaction on Companion

If you use Supporting fire from Tactician and use 2 companions like i do
Lifelong Friend (minion revive 35% faster if all you minions are companions) won't work.

Why? Cause "Supporting fire" is aparently persistent minion.
It is not so obvious sinve it does not reserve any spirit and the "Balistas" are not visible nor on the field of battle.

I know it is not important for most of the players but maybe someone would try to meatshield yourself with two companions as i do and tried to work around REs time and not getting them more resistant.

Cheers.
