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 suite of upgradeable abilities. Let's meet the team!
Avowed Companions
Kai
Kai is one of the first companions you'll meet, joining your party early in Dawnshore near Paradis. A fierce ex-mercenary with a surprisingly soft side, Kai acts as a formidable tank in combat. He can dish out significant damage and utilize his fire abilities to overcome environmental obstacles, opening up hidden paths and revealing valuable loot.
Upgradable Abilities:
- Fire and Ire (Active): A powerful blunderbuss shot that stuns and taunts a single enemy.
- Unbending Defense (Active): Regenerates health and increases damage reduction.
- Leap of Daring (Active): A powerful leap that stuns and taunts nearby enemies.
- Second Win (Passive): Revives Kai with 50% health upon reaching zero.
Marius
Marius, encountered in Dawnshore, shares a history with Kai. A skilled hunter and tracker, his abilities reflect his expertise. Marius' Hunter Sense helps locate loot and crafting materials, while his combat prowess utilizes bow and arrow, daggers, and nature-based traps.
Upgradable Abilities:
- Binding Roots (Active): Roots an enemy in place.
- Heart Seeker (Active): A piercing shot that ignores obstacles.
- Shadow Step (Active): A stealth attack that can be repeated up to three times.
- Wounding Shots (Passive): Attacks inflict bleeding.
Giatta
Found in the Emerald Stair region at Fior, Giatta is an animancer whose magic plays a crucial role in the main quest. While not a damage dealer, Giatta provides invaluable support through healing, shielding, and buffs. Her Spectral Jolt ability activates Essence Generators, revealing hidden areas.
Upgradable Abilities:
- Purification (Active): Heals all allies.
- Barrier (Active): Grants allies a temporary shield.
- Acceleration (Active): Increases ally movement and attack speed.
- Reconstruction (Passive): Attacks heal allies slightly.
Yatzli
Yatzli, the final companion, joins your party in Thirdborn within the Shatterscarp region (though she can be encountered earlier). A damage-focused magic user, Yatzli’s spells excel at both single-target and area-of-effect attacks, and she can also clear environmental obstacles.
Upgradable Abilities:
- Essence Explosion (Active): Explosive arcane damage.
- Minoletta’s Missile Battery (Active): A volley of seeking arcane missiles.
- Arduos Delay of Motion (Active): Slows an enemy.
- Blast (Passive): Attacks create a small area-of-effect burst.
