Can companions use skills automatically?

[Rodi]

Is there an option to make companions use their skills automatically?

I haven't unlocked all of the companions, but for the most part, no. However, each companion seems to have one skill that has an automatic option in their skill tree, on a different cooldown from the main skill, so like Harding has the one skill that applies Sundered that can be skilled up so she uses it automatically once per minute, but you can still trigger it as well.

What I'm uncertain of is if the auto-cast skill needs to be on the bar for them to use it automatically since it's a separate cooldown.

NO.

It's single character combats very special, companions provide:
- A light but fun party mood.
- 6 extra active spells/skills (3 each)
- Some extra passive bonus (but the big deal on that is main character building and equipping.
- For weak players like me, some companions can bring you an healing spell (amount of potions is limited a bit like in DAI).
- They could attract a tiny bit of enemies, but overall enemies mostly attack only you if you don't achieve more or less flee the combat or hide well.
