Companions for Next Play Through

[d_con_k]

Nearing the end of my first run with Callistege -> Erritis -> Matkina and me being a high intellect Nano.

This was a good group and I was able to handle almost all situations well - but with hindsight, having Callistege with my PC Nano was a bit redundant.


On the second run, I am contemplating a more companion quest oriented team such as :

Aligern -> Tybir -> Rhin and me again as high intellect Nano.


Combat-wise - can this work?

It seems (from posts on the forum) that Aligern will be a weaker tank than Erritis, Rhin is weak (I have heard till late game) and Tybir is not as lethal as Matkina.

Still ... I'm thinking, that if played well, they may be viable.

Thoughts ?

Definitely. Tybir and Aligern are both tanks, really, despite not being glaives. Armor, shields, taunt/grappling hook. Stickier than Erritis or Matkina, though they can't hit as hard. You should be fine in that regard. Be aware, though, that Aligern doesn't get any attack estoteries, he's all heals and buffs. So you might want to be a little more conservative with your cyphers this time out, that's all. They're actually an especially good thing for Rhin to carry.

Thanks Du-vu - sounds like this proposed team might be just viable enough in combat. That's all that is needed as the real value in TTON is story and quests ....
