Embarking on the perilous journey through the Living Lands in Avowed is far less daunting with the right companions. This RPG boasts four unique allies, each with distinct personalities and upgradeable abilities, ready to join your quest. Let's meet the team:
Avowed Companions
Kai

Kai, a fierce ex-mercenary with a surprisingly soft side, is one of your earliest companions. Encountered early in Dawnshore near Paradis, he joins your party after assisting you in finding the Ambassador and Cleric. A formidable tank in combat, Kai delivers substantial damage while withstanding significant punishment. His fire abilities prove invaluable for clearing obstacles like cobwebs and roots, opening up hidden paths and revealing valuable loot. Once you have three companions, you can swap him out at a Party Camp.
Kai's upgradeable abilities include:
- Fire and Ire (Active): A powerful blunderbuss shot that stuns and taunts a single enemy for 10 seconds.
- Unbending Defense (Active): Regenerates health and increases damage reduction by 25%.
- Leap of Daring (Active): A powerful leap that stuns and taunts nearby enemies.
- Second Win (Passive): Revives Kai upon reaching zero health, restoring 50% of his maximum health.
Marius

Marius, an expert hunter and tracker with a shared history with Kai, is found in Dawnshore. He joins your party after a bar encounter, where you can choose to talk your way out of trouble or engage in combat. Marius's abilities reflect his expertise, utilizing bow and arrow, daggers, and nature-bending skills to trap enemies with roots. His Hunter Sense ability aids in locating loot and crafting materials.
Marius's upgradeable abilities include:
- Binding Roots (Active): Roots an enemy in place for 8 seconds.
- Heart Seeker (Active): A piercing shot that ignores obstacles and always hits its target.
- Shadow Step (Active): Vanishes and reappears near an enemy, slashing them up to three times.
- Wounding Shots (Passive): Attacks inflict bleeding.
Giatta

Giatta, an animancer, joins the party later in the Emerald Stair region at the Fior settlement. Her animancer abilities are crucial to unraveling spiritual mysteries in the main quest. In combat, she provides support through healing, shielding, and buffing allies. Her Spectral Jolt ability activates Essence Generators, opening up new exploration paths.
Giatta's upgradeable abilities include:
- Purification (Active): Heals all allies by 25% of their maximum health.
- Barrier (Active): Provides all allies with a temporary health shield for 20 seconds.
- Acceleration (Active): Increases the movement and attack speed of all allies for 15 seconds.
- Reconstruction (Passive): Attacks heal allies a small amount.
Yatzli

Yatzli, the final companion, joins your party during a main quest in the Shatterscarp region of Thirdborn. A damage-focused magic user, Yatzli delivers powerful spells, offering both single-target and area-of-effect crowd control options. She also uses her magic to overcome environmental obstacles.
Yatzli's upgradeable abilities include:
- Essence Explosion (Active): An arcane explosion dealing powerful damage.
- Minoletta’s Missile Battery (Active): A volley of arcane missiles that seek out enemies.
- Arduos Delay of Motion (Active): Slows an enemy for 10 seconds.
- Blast (Passive): Attacks create a small area-of-effect explosion.
