Embark on a thrilling adventure through Eora's Living Lands with the aid of four unique Companions in Avowed. Each Companion boasts a distinct personality and customizable abilities, adding depth and strategic options to your gameplay. Let's explore each Companion you can recruit:
Kai: Encountered early in Dawnshore, near Paradis, Kai, a formidable ex-mercenary with a surprising tender side, is your first true Companion. His tank-like capabilities in combat, combined with fire-based abilities to clear obstacles and uncover hidden treasures, make him an invaluable asset.
Kai's Upgradable Abilities:
- Fire and Ire (Active): A powerful blunderbuss shot that stuns and taunts a single enemy.
- Unbending Defense (Active): Regenerates health and boosts damage reduction.
- Leap of Daring (Active): A powerful leap that stuns and taunts nearby enemies.
- Second Win (Passive): Revives with 50% health upon reaching zero.
Marius: Found in Dawnshore, Marius shares a history with Kai. His expertise as a hunter and tracker is reflected in his gameplay, utilizing bow and arrow, daggers, and nature-based abilities to trap foes. His "Hunter Sense" proves invaluable for locating loot and crafting materials.
Marius' Upgradable Abilities:
- Binding Roots (Active): Roots an enemy in place.
- Heart Seeker (Active): A piercing shot that ignores obstacles.
- Shadow Step (Active): Vanishes and attacks an enemy multiple times.
- Wounding Shots (Passive): Attacks inflict bleeding.
Giatta: Recruited later in the Emerald Stair region, Giatta is an animancer whose magic plays a crucial role in the main quest. While not a high-damage dealer, her support abilities, including healing, shielding, and buffs, are essential for party survival. Her "Spectral Jolt" activates Essence Generators, revealing hidden paths.
Giatta's Upgradable Abilities:
- Purification (Active): Heals allies.
- Barrier (Active): Provides allies with a temporary health shield.
- Acceleration (Active): Increases ally movement and attack speed.
- Reconstruction (Passive): Attacks partially heal allies.
Yatzli: The final Companion, found in Thirdborn within the Shatterscarp region (though encountered earlier in the world), Yatzli is a damage-focused magic user. Her spells excel at both single-target and area-of-effect damage, and she can also remove environmental obstacles.
Yatzli's Upgradable Abilities:
- Essence Explosion (Active): Explosive arcane damage.
- Minoletta’s Missile Battery (Active): A volley of homing arcane missiles.
- Arduos Delay of Motion (Active): Slows an enemy.
- Blast (Passive): Attacks create a small area-of-effect explosion.
