I'd say flinxes and vampire frogs are sidegrades to each other, flinxes seem to perfom better against flying bosses and vampire frogs everything else.I wouldn’t say Flinxes are the best prehardmode minion, if that’s what you’re getting at. Vampire Frogs’ combined body and tongue have easily more DPS by a big enough margin to make up for the difference in AI, which isn’t even that severe, and Frogs can jump through multiple targets at once. Vampires do have iframe clashes though, so it doesn’t hurt to run another minion with them.
But you know what's even better? Both at once! They both have around the same max attack speed however due to the way static immunity works you can reach a much higher attack rate of you split your slots between the two minions, and with how few minion slots you have in pre hardmode those two minion don't leave any room for others.
