Guide to Companion Builds

Introduction

This took me awhile but I felt this was necessary to do. This was made for myself, but thought it would be helpful and cool for others to see. In advance, I will say that this is suited to my play style, thus my opinion on what I think fits best with whatever. You can always change what each characters classes and roles are. Whether you change from what I’ve recommended (as I do have multiple options for some companions) or you change them entirely. That is fine, suit your play style. Anyway, on with the guide.

In this guide, you will see:

  • Classes and what weapons the classes will use.
  • Roles and the aligned skills with those roles.
  • Companions with their class and role.
  • Companion group builds.

Other Remarks

All previously listed are what I think fits best from what I have gathered from looking through each companion’s character sheet. You can always change what class or role a companion has that fit your play style.

As for group builds, again, they are very interchangable. I encourage experimentation on what group builds are the best. These builds are just something that I think are best.
