    Never mind all those things you mentioned, if your going to solo with an companion, there is only Isabel, It makes an better tank than many player tanks I have dungeons with, It takes the aggro,, heals itself, whilst I just stand back and melt things from a distance. as for extras they give if you please their special box, then Miri takes the cake, for the extra hidden loot box from chests, the worst is that ginger headed idiot do gooder Bastian, what do you get for his special box, useless potions, and it hates cheese, I love cheese. I have an number of homes with an Bastian exhibit, one where he hangs in an gibbet. one where he is trapped in an cage of stinky Mammoth cheese, but you have the option to free him, and one where he is in an torture device, you can let him live or enclose him in an spiky death your choice.

      Just do the daily quest (+125 rapport) on a single toon with each companion since rapport is toon specific (until they''re max level and you get the keepsake, after which it no longer matters.) You can see all passives on UESP

    Azandar on my arc
    Bastion on my DK
    Ember on my khajiit
    Sometime I use:
    Mirri for dolmen delve
    Isobel for wb free roam
    Sharp for when i need positive feedback
    They basically there for rp, while maxing rapport.

    @Hehastusksandmocksyou Місяць тому +2

    Something I think you didn't emphasize enough. In terms of rapport gains, most of the preferences only give you very small gains. If you want to raise rapport with companions you'll really want to focus on one type of preference which is their dailies. The total list of actions that improve a companion's rapport is overwhelming but those specific daily quests give you such an enormous amount of it that you can focus entirely on those and consistently raise the rapport without issue. Every companion has 2 types of daily quests that give you +125 once a day. Usually one of the dailies they like is part of the same chapter that the companion came with. Compare that to the +1 or +5 gains from other things. It is by an enormous margin the one thing you'll want to pay attention to. I think in your guide, you neglected focusing on the +125 ones specifically.

  • @BBRocker75
    @BBRocker75 2 місяці тому +2

    My companions:
    Mirri when i need a healer or to farm treasure chest n do antiquities. She is my luck amulet.
    Azzandar and Isobel: Solo Dungeons and DLC dungeons. For some bosses is better Azzandar and for others Isobel.
    Ember for thievering with my Khathief. Some times for some specific bosses in base vet dungeons.
    Lizzard-o for run with me overland and farming world events. Dolmens, geysers, vents, mirrors. Edit: my gosh i forgot he is my fishing mate. I love you Lizzard-o! 🦈🐬🐋🐳🐟🐠🐡🦐🦞🦀🦑🐙
    Bastian: ZOS THIS COMPANION NEEDS A HUGE RESHAPE/REVAMP. My gosh he is less than zero now. I like him so much when he was released.

  • @MauraMaudJadeit
    @MauraMaudJadeit 2 місяці тому +2

    I love Ember and Sharp. I like Mirri too but not as much as those two. Azander occassionaly rubs me the wrong way but not as much as the moral high ground twins. I'm on the fence about the new companions, their usefulness and most likely I'm not going to splurge on them.

  • @guardianv5846
    @guardianv5846 2 місяці тому

    Couple other things to note:
    1. Bastian has a perk that buffs heavy attacks by 15% which is great for heavy attack builds.
    2. There are 2 good sets to wear with companions (just choose 1 not both)
    A: Telvanni Efficiency - reduces companions cooldowns by 50% which is great for shields and burst heals. Also if they die, you get 8% cost reduction to abilities and ultimates. Its also craftable and only needs 3 traits learned so you can craft it very early on.
    B: Pearlescent Ward - its a trial set but even the normal version gives 66% damage mitigation based on the number if party members dead. This includes companions. If you eant to solo a dungeon and your companion keeps dying, put this on, let them die and you have a full time 33% damage mitigation. If someone leaves your group, pull out a companion, let them die and your 3 man party will each get 16.5% damage mitigation.

    I play as a tank and Azandar makes a fantastic co-tank/healer.
    I wear 5 pieces of Telvanni Efficiency to reduce his cooldowns by 50%
    Gear: Heavy + Quickened, 1-handed weapon + Shield
    Skills (in this order):
    * Triptych Physic
    * Bulwark
    * Zone of Recuperation
    * Ritual of Salvation
    * Shields of Erudition
    * DO NOT SLOT HIS ULTIMATE
    If you need him to tank, then swap out Bulwark for his Scathing Rune skill (this is a taunt).

      If you don't want them to use their Ultimate and have it slotted, in your Options/Gameplay menu, you can make their Ultimate use manual so only you can make them use their Ultimate, not the Companion. My main interest as a soloer is a Companion that can keep me alive. Azandar, Isobel or Bastian--I'm still not sure who does it best.

    Tell you how I would update cyrodil I would make the campaigns shorter, as in 4 hour, 8 hour and 24 hour , points scoring would be the decider when time finishes but the aim would be to win the game early for better rewards by becoming emperor ... No need for emp buffs cos once you're emp it's game over and you've won..
    Scrolls would also be important by holding your own the number of sieges you can use is affected. Defence scrolls only work on home keeps for each scroll you hold in your defence temple your number of siege is increased , offensive scrolls work same way but this time it's for offensive siege against enemy home keeps.
    scrolls don't accumulate points only keeps do,

    Isobel has decent game skills. However, I'm not a personal fan since she (he, it, other) has alternative relationships (likes Aurelia and Lyris) and walks with a very peculiar masculine swagger while other female companions have a feminine gait. Kind of evokes the "uncanny valley."

      Doing so allows ZOS to get financing at a preferred interest rate from the big funds out there by including dei elements in games which means the company stays profitable since they are not paying conventional rates. We had a female presenting Prince and now a nonbinary companion which isn’t a bad trade off for cheaper funding. If ZOS goes into financial ruin, we all lose, so when you see some mandated woke elements in this game remember it’s helping keep the lights on at ZOS. Running a profitable business isn’t as easy as it looks
