Recruit Companions in the World of 'Avowed'

Embark on a perilous journey through Eora's Living Lands with the aid of four unique companions in Avowed. Each companion boasts a distinct personality and customizable abilities. Let's explore each one:

Kai: Encountered early in Dawnshore, near Paradis, Kai, a formidable ex-mercenary with a tender heart, joins your party after assisting you in finding the Ambassador and Cleric. In combat, he functions as a tank, dishing out significant damage and withstanding attacks. His fire abilities prove useful for clearing obstacles and uncovering hidden treasures.

Kai's upgradable abilities include:

• Fire and Ire (Active): A powerful blunderbuss shot that stuns and taunts a single enemy.
• Unbending Defense (Active): Regenerates health and increases damage reduction.
• Leap of Daring (Active): A powerful leap that stuns and taunts nearby enemies.
• Second Win (Passive): Revives Kai with 50% health upon death.

Marius: Found in Dawnshore, Marius shares a history with Kai. His expertise as a hunter and tracker is reflected in his personality, narrative, and combat style. His "Hunter Sense" ability aids in locating loot and crafting materials. He utilizes a bow and arrow, daggers, and nature-based traps.

Marius' upgradable abilities include:

• Binding Roots (Active): Roots an enemy in place.
• Heart Seeker (Active): A piercing shot that ignores obstacles.
• Shadow Step (Active): Vanishes and reappears to attack an enemy (up to 3 times).
• Wounding Shots (Passive): Attacks inflict bleeding.

Giatta: Recruited later in the Emerald Stair region at the Fior settlement, Giatta is an animancer whose magic plays a crucial role in the main quest. She provides support in combat through healing, shielding, and buffs. Her "Spectral Jolt" ability activates Essence Generators, opening up new exploration paths.

Giatta's upgradable abilities include:

• Purification (Active): Heals all allies.
• Barrier (Active): Provides allies with a temporary health shield.
• Acceleration (Active): Increases ally movement and attack speed.
• Reconstruction (Passive): Attacks partially heal allies.

Yatzli: The final companion, found in Thirdborn within the Shatterscarp region (though encountered earlier in the world), Yatzli is a damage-dealing mage. Her spells excel at both single-target and area-of-effect damage, and she can also remove environmental obstacles.

Yatzli's upgradable abilities include:

• Essence Explosion (Active): An explosive arcane attack.
• Minoletta’s Missile Battery (Active): A volley of homing arcane missiles.
• Arduos Delay of Motion (Active): Slows an enemy.
• Blast (Passive): Attacks create a small area-of-effect explosion.
