, providing a vast array of buffs to your entire team. Her Purification skill offers an additional 25 percent of your maximum health, which will pair nicely with her Reconstruction healing ability. Not only does she restore health, but she also coats a shield around you through her Barrier skill and boosts movement and attack speed with Acceleration.





It'll be hard to knock you down when Giatta's around, even against Avowed's colossal creatures. Furthermore, she'll help you with puzzles by opening locked doorways with her electrifying Spectral Jolt.

Kai is one of the most balanced Companions, thriving in defensive and offensive strategies. Many of his Abilities will halt enemies through its stunning properties, including Fire and Ice and Leap of Daring. You also don't have to worry too much about Kai while he's on the field since he can revive himself with Second Wind, giving him another chance on the battlefield.





In addition to his Second Wind, Kai's Unbending Defense regenerates health and reduces damage by 25 percent to further his survivability. And, as a bonus, he can burn off most debris, so you don't have to waste your Essence with a flame-based spell. It'll assist you with quests like the

Although Marius is at the bottom of the list, his unique strengths make him a valuable Companion, especially for exploration. I've relied on his Hunter's Sense Command, pinpointing enemies, loot, and plants nearby. His guiding waypoint ensures you don't miss out on any valuables, specifically with hidden chests.





As for Marius' Abilities, he's a beast in combat, inflicting bleeding accumulation through Wounding Shots and firing piercing shots with Heart Seeker. He's relatively swift on the battlefield, too, sneaking up on foes using his Shadow Step.
