Companions

From NEStalgia

Notice: This page or section contains information that is not up to date with the most recent version of NEStalgia.

This page shows the stats for all the monster companions in NEStalgia. If you would like a list of ALL the monsters in NEStalgia, then see the Bestiary page. Companions, also known as monster followers, were added in the v1.63 patch. There are currently 101 available Companions as of the v1.68.4 patch. Companions allow players a completely new variety of strategy by choosing companions that can make it much easier to kill monsters and bosses, whilst keeping the multiplayer side of the game intact due to the fact that companions do not have as much potential for reliability as other players do.

Recruiting Companions

  1. Have the reputation rank required for recruiting them. Reputation rank is earned by doing quests or killing monsters; the amount necessary for a certain monster depends on the area.
  2. Go to the area the companion is in and defeat one; it may decide to join you. You cannot recruit more than one companion per battle. If it is randomly determined that you would happen to receive more than one pet in a single battle, the highest rank pet will be the one that offers to join. (unsure of deciding factor if rank is tied)
  3. If you have a full party, recruited monsters will go to the companion ranch of the player. Note that if the ranch is full a player can not receive the companion. The current cap for companions stored in the ranch is 63 as of v1.68.4.

Companion Tactics

There are currently four different settings for a companion, with each setting making the odds of a companion using a certain type of ability more or less likely.

  • Balanced companions generally will use abilities that deal damage of any type, leaning slightly towards those that deal damage over time. Companions on this setting will use healing abilities once a target is at half health or lower, tending to use the strongest available heal in the process.
  • Offensive companions generally will use whatever ability will deal the most damage and/or hit the most targets regardless of cost. Companions on this setting will never use an ability designed solely for healing a party member.
  • Defensive companions generally will use abilities that inflict debuffs before abilities that inflict damage. If a party member has been poisoned or is missing at least 30% or their HP, Defensive companions will dedicate their turn to removing poison or healing, with priority usually given to removing poison. Companions on this setting will do what they can to use a suitable healing ability rather than just using the strongest possible ability every time.
  • Conserve companions generally will avoid using any ability that deals multi-target damage but in some cases will still use single-target damage abilities (Scorchers and Scorch, Evil Stumps and Tap, etc). An exception is any companion that has a free hit-all attack such as a Gargoyle; in such cases the companion will use this attack in place of a normal attack unless one or more targets are asleep. Conserve companions usually will use healing abilities around the same point as a Balanced companion and will use the weakest available heal in the process.

Reserve Bonuses/Abilities

Unique to companions are reserve bonuses and abilities. When partied with one or more other players, the companions for each player remain in the party but may not necessarily fight in battles. In the case of a party with three players every companion is left in reserve; in the case of a party with two players the leader of the party decides which companion is active and which companion(s) is/are not by using the party order option and cycling through companions in the third party slot.

Whatever the case may be, during a battle any companion in reserve either grants a bonus to certain stats/traits of their owner or grants their owner access to an ability. To be more precise:

  1. A reserve bonus can be anything from a 10% boost to the effect of any healing skill/item used on the owner to a boost to the owner's strength stat. Many boosts increase with the companion's level. As noted above, this bonus is only active during a battle.
  2. A reserve ability allows the owner to use a spell or skill that they may not have access to normally, such as Engulf or RenewWave. This ability has a single charge which, once used, recharges over the span of a set number of rounds which in turn may span as many (or few) battles as necessary. Resting in an inn will not restore this charge. The pet's stats whose reserve ability you are using determines the potency of the ability. That pet's milestones also affect it (e.g. Lasting Renew milestone makes the pet who has its RenewWave reserve ability's renew buff to last an extra round).
  3. Identical reserve abilities or bonuses do not stack. That is, a player with two companions that have the same reserve bonus will only gain the benefit of one bonus (i.e., two companions with +13 STR will not grant the owner +26 STR). Similarly, a player with two companions that each have HealWave as a reserve ability will only be able to use that ability once, with both companions sharing the same recharge timer.
  4. As an add-on to the above point, similar reserve abilities or bonuses will stack. That is, a player with a companion that adds -10% PvP DMG Received alongside a companion that adds -5% All DMG Received ends up with 15% DMG reduction from any attack from another player or companion and 5% reduction from any attack from monsters. This is on top of any bonuses the player gains from abilities or skill trees. Similarly, a player with a companion that has HealMore as a reserve ability and one that has HealWave can use either ability, with each having a separate recharge timer.

Note: All stats shown are for companions that are level 32, the maximum level as of patch v1.68.4, and without any milestone boosts such as Sturdy.
