Embarking on the perilous journey through the Living Lands in Avowed is far less daunting with the right companions. This RPG boasts four unique companions, each with their own distinct personality and a customizable skillset. Let's meet the team!
Avowed Companions
Kai
Kai is one of your earliest allies, joining your party shortly after reaching Dawnshore. Encountered near the docks, he'll team up with you to find the Ambassador and Cleric. A former mercenary, Kai is a formidable tank in combat, dealing and absorbing significant damage. His fire abilities also prove useful for clearing environmental obstacles, revealing hidden paths and loot. Once you've recruited three companions, you can swap him out at a Party Camp.
Kai's Upgradable Abilities:
- Fire and Ire (Active): A powerful blunderbuss shot that stuns and taunts a single enemy for 10 seconds.
- Unbending Defense (Active): Regenerates health and increases damage reduction by 25%.
- Leap of Daring (Active): A powerful leap that stuns and taunts nearby enemies.
- Second Win (Passive): Revives Kai at 50% health when he falls in battle.
Marius
Marius, encountered in Dawnshore, shares history with Kai. He joins your party after a bar encounter, where you can choose to talk your way out of trouble or engage in combat. As an expert hunter and tracker, Marius' skills are reflected in his gameplay. His Hunter Sense helps locate loot and crafting materials, while his combat abilities utilize bow and arrow, daggers, and nature-based traps.
Marius' Upgradable Abilities:
- Binding Roots (Active): Roots an enemy in place for 8 seconds.
- Heart Seeker (Active): A piercing shot that ignores obstacles and always hits.
- Shadow Step (Active): Vanishes and reappears near an enemy for a series of attacks (up to 3 times).
- Wounding Shots (Passive): Marius' attacks inflict bleeding.
Giatta
Giatta, an animancer, joins later in the Emerald Stair region. Her animancy plays a key role in the main quest's spiritual mysteries. In combat, she's a supportive character, healing, shielding, and buffing allies. Her Spectral Jolt ability is useful for activating Essence Generators to uncover hidden areas.
Giatta's Upgradable Abilities:
- Purification (Active): Heals all allies for 25% of their maximum health.
- Barrier (Active): Grants all allies a temporary health shield for 20 seconds.
- Acceleration (Active): Increases ally movement and attack speed for 15 seconds.
- Reconstruction (Passive): Giatta's attacks heal allies slightly.
Yatzli
Yatzli, the final companion, is recruited during a main quest in Thirdborn, though she can be encountered earlier. A damage-focused magic user, she offers both single-target and area-of-effect spells, and her abilities can also clear environmental obstacles.
Yatzli's Upgradable Abilities:
- Essence Explosion (Active): An arcane explosion dealing significant damage.
- Minoletta’s Missile Battery (Active): A volley of homing arcane missiles.
- Arduos Delay of Motion (Active): Slows an enemy for 10 seconds.
- Blast (Passive): Yatzli's attacks create a small area-of-effect explosion.
