Hello. I would personally LOVE to see scrip companions for PvP. Here are some of my ideas about companions that might make Ranked seem a little bit more attractive to more players (so the wait isn't as long). All of these companions would need to be bought at champion and would require TONS of scrip, maybe like 20,000? However, each companion is class exclusive. I don't have any names yet so.... There is a total of 6 epics to choose for each companion. Each companion (EXCEPT for witchdoctor) comes with an extra epic, mega, and super power.

Epic talents:

Powers:
Pure Courage (special power, to self only, +100% haste, +50% will, +10% critical, +20% accuracy, +25 armor penetration, -75% dodge, -100% armor and magic resist, -25% strength and agility, ignores protection buffs, and each attack takes away 5% of health for 2 rounds) Edit: -50% dodge, -25% accuracy, strength, and agility for the next three rounds as well.
* his epics are point blank shots, like nausica

Do you think that KI should implement something like this in the game? Any suggestions on companions?

The purpose of companions not gained through side or main quests is to generate revenue for KingsIsle by using Crowns; as great sounding as these companions may be, it's not likely to happen.

I really like this idea because the champion weapons are not desired by all players (we are looking at you winter weapons) but these companions are unqiue

First off the bear would look cool, I think he should get reckless frenzy though

Secondly the idea of a fox fencer is great but the companion seems like another Sarah Steele maybe the fox could get a buff that gives 10% critical to all on her team

Thirdly the musketeer companion has a cool power but the companion itself is bland seeing that a musketeer can already recruit an eagle archer and Zeena, maybe the companion could be a redcoat or a naval redcoat officer, how about a frogerale or banditoad

I love the idea of recruiting a satyr, maybe he could just keep Jobu embrace and lose the other 2, for his summon satyr power which I really like it could be called Grape Revolt, and maybe he could get a power called Musical Maestro and it would give 5% more damage and critical chance and give a 100 health heal for 3 rounds

Lastly I don't really like the centaur, they don't look all that cool and Nausica would still outshine him, I also don't like the power so I will make my own companion

Companion name : Deaths Hand
Haste:4
Appearance: looks like Bobby Bones inside the Marie Celestia
Epics available: Would come with Relentless and could get repel boarders, riposte, first strike, cheap shot, witch hunter, flanking and blade storm
Powers: Super hit that gives plague to the victim giving poison damage and lowering their damage by 10% he could also acquire a power called From The Grave which casts a 75% damage shield on himself for three turns

Well that concludes my post

I don't think that the bear should get reckless frenzy, seeing as most witches and muskets already have trouble with 1. Combine that with Turn the Tide 2, it seems that they could just spam a whole team down in one turn once both the pirate and the bear get down to below half. Couple that with an Epic, Mega, and Super, I feel like Buccaneers will jump even higher in pvp and would give them even more presence in the arena.

I agree that the buckler companion is very similar to Sarah, however, Swashbuckler buffs are not meant to be universal, but only a Privy's should. (EDIT: She is meant to be able to train up the Relentless line, from 1-2, and she receives a Gallant defense power.) I feel like with the edit, she will be able to differentiate herself from Sarah enough being played as support and defense rather than offense/ counter specialist.

EDIT:"Pinning Shot" should immobilize all opposing units in a 3x3 square for 3 rounds. I feel that since pinning shot is seen in Troy, that it should be in Aquila. So maybe an Ophidian Archer will do?

I gave the Satyr all three ranks so that he would be more up to par with the other companions in terms of amount of powers, as he is the only one who doesn't receive any of the critical powers. I like your name for the power, although I think that a buff that both increases damage and critical chance, AND as a heal would be a bit overpowered, especially since he has a reduce.

The Privateer centaur companion was never meant to outshine Nausica (very few companions can do that), but rather to be more of a glass cannon. After he uses his buff and then his Point Blank Super, he's pretty much useless, and he is intended to be like that. Giving him Burst Fire 3 and Double Tap 3 would allow him to critical and chain, as he goes off will, and could potentially take down 1 1/4 unit in a turn.

I like the companion that you made, it's a very interesting idea, although i feel like a reduce damage and a 75% shield is a bit Op don't ya think?

I suppose you are right about the bear the he doesn't need reckless frenzy, I just thought it would make him more like a bear

I love what you did with the fox fencer, I thought that it would be good for a companion to get a universal critical buff because no companions do ( I think)

An ophidian archer is a great idea!

By removing the other two powers I see it as fair and would make the Satyr more unique, I personally don't see the power as overpowered but it would have to be tested, maybe witchdoctor garuanteed strikes could be created?

I still don't like the idea of a centaur, for my idea keep on mind the damage reduction is only 10%

I dont see 75% protection op for three turns

There are 2 things to solve this, make scrip a crown purchase for a small sum of scrip

And it may take crowns to get to champion these companions will require crown companions and gear to get these companions

Throwing these items into the Crown Shop will then make this game a "pay to win" game; KI has managed to avoid this designation, thus far.

Either way it will get people buying membership/crowns to enter PvP seasons? Some people will buy crown gear so they can get to champions this makes it more attractive to people, come one who wouldn't want these epic companions? And to some spending a lot of money is worth it
