Companion Builds

A brief guide on classes, roles, companions and groups.

Introduction

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

Companion Groups

10 Safe Companion Group

• Alayen - Cavalry / Trader
  
• Artimenner - Infantry / Engineer
  
• Baheshtur - Horse Archer / Trainer
  
• Borcha - Infantry / Tracker
  
• Bunduk - Cavalry / Trainer
  
• Katrin - Archer / Doctor
  
• Matheld - Infantry / Engineer
  
• Nizar - Cavalry / Tracker
  
• Rolf - Archer / Doctor
  
• Ymira - Horse Archer / Trader

Note: This build is hard to pull of and remain safe. It becomes more safe and stable as you get them all but you really need to plan on who to get next rather than get a companion once you see them. I haven't found anything that gives a progression; there might be a way but I am not too sure. I will experiment to see if there is a way. For now, I recommend other builds rather than this since it is much harder to pull off.

Conclusion

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. These groups are formed with the help of these guides:

Conclusion

I hope this guide helps you on your adventures across Calradia! Please give feedback if I missed something crucial or important.

Updates

1st Update (02/15/2020): Added a note under Companion Groups, specifically "10 Safe Companion Group" build.

[Chaos]

So I have done the 10 companions and the only time i have had any issues is when i've failed missions for the guild masters or the marshal of the realm.

[Madalgaudus]

You should pick companions based on dislike prevention and whose stories most align with your character, for example some companions are sort of disgraced/irrelevant nobles while others are outcasts/commonfolk or wanderers. Btw some of the best dialogue in the game comes from re-meeting companions after they've left your party for certain reasons, its rare but you get to see a little more depth to each character

[g3]

bunduk katrin nizar and ymira are dogshit companions
matheld, rolf, arti, lezalit, baheshtur, borcha, alayen and firentis

[Hasbulat]

I use to equip a horse for each companion - it makes possible a quick rush, better speed on a map, especialy if I leave normal foot troops anywhere in castle and roam with cavalary and companions only. All of them have a crossbow and a melee weappon, better with crash damage. You dont skill nobles to vassals, which is suboptimal too. So, it is not really a guide, its just a list of possibile build, which are far from optimum, unfortunately.

[Googly Squid]

I do not know any other “safe companion” builds but who says that you can’t do your own. You can get all of them if you want and add no one else. Just keep your companions happy by not doing things that they dislike. https://mountandblade.fandom.com/wiki/Heroes to see what each companion dislikes (raiding, fsiling quests, etc.)

[Move2Bastyon]

going to try Artimenner, Borcha, Alayen, Lezalit, Baheshtur, Matheld, and Rolf, because I will be raiding and looting villages and extorting trade caravans as source of income, does anyone know good list for this purpose?

[Googly Squid]

Please know that I did not create the 10 safe companion group build. I used the build I found made by somebody else. The link to it is under Conclusion < References.

[Move2Bastyon]

ok now Matheld also left, so this first list is not a good list, everything was going smooth until she joined. Then that caused her and Nizar to leave. {LINK REMOVED}https://prnt.sc/r1wngi

[Move2Bastyon]

The first build isn't safe, tried it, and Nizar left https://prnt.sc/r1wgjb and couldn't persuade him to stay. https://prnt.sc/r1whjr - so you might want to remove him from that first list, it's definitely not a safe list to include him.

[Move2Bastyon]

well had no choice but to look this up, because the game doesn't offer enough tools to determine this without painstaking experimentation with so many combinations. Thank you for simplifying and making it easier for us noobs
