All companions ranked in Dragon Age The Veilguard

There are a total of seven companions that you will be able to recruit to join your cause in Dragon Age The Veilguard. Each companion will have their own unique set of skills, backgrounds, and factions.

You will be able to have two companions on your active party at any given time, and much of your playstyle will revolve around the skills that they bring to the table. While each companion is viable and fits a particular style of play, there are some who are versatile in most situations and quite powerful even from the get go.

Here is ranking of all the companions and which one you should be focusing on acquiring for your main party in the RPG.

Ranking all the companions in Dragon Age The Veilguard

Before we go to the rankings it’s important to keep in mind that the list is subjective and takes into consideration Companion Enchantments, skills, and how powerful they are before you build them.

The best companions for you will be the ones that fit your playstyle and the ones whom you are looking to romance later on in the narrative.

Here is a list of all the companions in Dragon Age The Veilguard ranked:

7) Taash

Taash is a very aggressive melee combatant who uses double axes while having the ability to spew fire breath. Although they is traditionally not used as a frontline, they can very easily take up the role of a tank with the use of the Dragon’s Roar skill.

The ability functions like a taunt which lets her draw the aggro of the enemies around her (however, this ability may not work on stronger bosses). Taash plays amazingly well with companions like Emmrich or Neve who will help them with healing and crowd control.

Apart from a healer, make sure to have a DPS like Rogue to help melt enemies while Taash is aggroing them.

6) Bellara

Bellara has one of the most versatile fighting styles out of all the Companions in Dragon Age The Veilguard. While being a mage, she uses a bow as her primary weapon of choice and uses it to manipulate the Fage to harness the power of electricity and control magic that allows her to debuff enemies.

The perfect party setup for her will be to have a support like Emmrich on the side along with a strong frontline DPS pick like Lucanis or even Taash. However, she takes a while to get going

5) Emmrich Volkarin

Emmrich Volkarin is a necromancer who is a member of the Mourn Watch in the Mortlitasi. His combat style revolves around being a ranged spellcaster who is capable of raising the spirits of the dead to CC enemies and making it easier for his companions to take them out.

He is also capable of healing allies with the Replenish skill, so he can be a very effective companion when paired with a Warrior tank that can soak up damage for him. He also goes well with Lucanis and his Rogue playstyle.

4) Lace Harding

Lace Harding is a returning character from the previous game, Dragon Age Inquisition. However, back then she was not a full companion and was only considered a competent scout. You will be able to recruit her in Veilguard and use her in your primary party.

Lace specializes in debuffing enemy armor and staggering them. She keeps her distance and picks off enemies from afar. She pairs well with companions like Emmrich who acts as a support, and front liners like Davrin or even Taash, but you will need the Dragon’s Roar ability for the latter.

3) Neve Gallus

Neve is a master of ice magic and comes wielding a short staff/wand. Ice Magic is one of the best elemental spells for supporting the rest of the team in Dragon Age The Veilguard. So if you are running a party that already has a tank and a damage dealer, the Neve will be the perfect pick for the third slot.

Neve pairs perfectly well with Davrin. If are going for a damage class and specialization with Rook, then you will have a very balanced party with Neve as the support mage and Davrin as the frontline.

2) Davrin

Davrin is a tank that specializes in taunting the enemy and aggroing them so that they focus more on him than the rest of his party. He is also able to stun enemies allowing him to be a versatile pick for any party set-up.

However, he will jel the best with with a support and a ranged or melee DPS. While he tanks mobs, the support will be able to top his health and keep buffing him so that he can be an effecting frontline. Moreover, as he is drawing aggro, the damage dealers will be able to melt the enemies.

Davrin companion features and party recommendations:

1) Lucanis Dellamorte

Lucanis is a dual-daggers user who inflicts necrotic damage to enemies, while supporting his companions with buffs and potions. He is a Rogue that deals in quickly taking out enemies, which makes him a perfect fit for party combinations that has a Warrior tank and a ranged DPS like a Mage or a Veil Ranger.

Lucanis is pretty versatile from the get-go and you will not have to build him optimally in the early game to get the most out of him.
