All Avowed Companions You Can Recruit

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 set of upgradeable abilities. Let's meet the team!

Avowed Companions

Kai

Kai is one of your earliest allies, joining your party soon after reaching Dawnshore's port near Paradis. He'll approach you on the dock, initiating a partnership to locate the Ambassador and Cleric. A fierce ex-mercenary with a surprisingly soft side, Kai excels as a tank in combat, capable of both absorbing and dealing substantial damage. His fire abilities are also useful for clearing obstacles like cobwebs and roots, revealing hidden paths and loot.

Kai's Upgradeable 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 Wind (Passive): Revives Kai with 50% health upon reaching zero.

Marius

Encountered in Dawnshore, Marius shares history with Kai and joins your party after a bar encounter. Choose to talk your way out or fight alongside him. As an expert hunter and tracker, Marius' skills are reflected in his personality, narrative, and gameplay. His Hunter Sense ability helps locate loot and crafting materials, while his combat prowess utilizes bows, daggers, and nature-bending abilities to trap enemies.

Marius' Upgradeable Abilities:

• Binding Roots (Active): Roots an enemy in place for 8 seconds.
• Heart Seeker (Active): A piercing shot that hits its target regardless of obstacles.
• Shadow Step (Active): Vanishes and reappears near an enemy for a series of attacks (up to 3 times).
• Wounding Shots (Passive): Attacks inflict bleeding.

Giatta

Giatta, an animancer, joins later in the Emerald Stair region at Fior. Her controversial magic plays a crucial role in the main quest, offering support in combat through healing, shielding, and buffing allies. Her Spectral Jolt ability powers Essence Generators, opening pathways to hidden loot.

Giatta's Upgradeable Abilities:

• Purification (Active): Heals all allies by 25% of their maximum health.
• Barrier (Active): Provides allies with a temporary health shield for 20 seconds.
• Acceleration (Active): Increases ally movement and attack speed for 15 seconds.
• Reconstruction (Passive): Attacks heal allies a small amount.

Yatzli

Yatzli, the final companion, joins during a main quest in Shatterscarp's Thirdborn city (though she can be encountered earlier). A damage-focused magic user, Yatzli's spells excel at both single-target and area-of-effect damage, and crowd control. She also uses magic to clear obstacles.

Yatzli's Upgradeable Abilities:

• Essence Explosion (Active): An arcane explosion dealing powerful 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): Attacks create a small area-of-effect explosion on impact.
