My favorite comapanion? totally is bull ronin guy ( I forgot his name SRY to anyone who likes that companio-n to!!! ) WHY? well he is cool and once he upgrades he gets more like stronger than before!!!!!! and totally awesome.

My 2d favorite companion is my dog handsome dan He is awesome I got him from admirals Bundle AND HE ROCKS!!! he can heal he can do awesome sword+eletricblaster attack! and but the only problem is that he
doesnt do that much damage. Though I like his bladestorm even though he is not .!
and the awesome attack where it goes black and awesome music goes on! :D

THOUGH it may look like I like handsome dan more than kobe there is so much actually to kobe I can not fit it in here! So I just wanted to have my handsomedan happy just giving him more text even though I like kobe more! thats all.

My most favorite companion in the game currently is Kobe YoJimbo!

He is an awesome Bull Samoori, his Crown Brother Wagyu or as I call him WagE is a very worthy purchase from the crown shop. He starts with First strike and later on, I train him in relentless twice, then riposte!

My second favorite companion is Kan Po, who is also a very worthy companion as well as his crown counterpart. He starts with Riposte, which I later get riposte 2 and Relentless twice, and he gets a heal.

What is your favorite companion and why?
1st favorite: bonnie anne. i fully upgraded her and shes AWESOME. she only missed her targets twice as a fully uprgaded compainion ( unless they make more upgrades in new chapters) i also love her fiery personality
2nd favorite: helephant. most ppl dont know this but you can get a helephant companion from yuji's sidetask in mooshu.
3rd favorite:el toro: El toro is one of THE BEST companions in the game so far.if he used his whip more, he'd be unstoppable.
4th favorite: Mustang Sally: my swashbuckler unlocked her, and shes amazing.
5th favorite: Sarah steel, also unlocked by my swashbuckler.

tip: if you see companions you really want in the crown shop, dont buy. why? because when you reach a higher lvl, they come to you as higher lvls. i saw this as i was monitoring mustang sally on my witchdoctor. you purchase her 2 levels higher than you no matter what.

My favorite companion hands down has to be the shark cutthroat from the game stop bundle. Once you promote him he has a hook on one hand and a awesome sword in the other. I also like Froggo Villa but his accuracy is terrible.

I'll give you my top 8 favorite companions.

1. Lucy Sterling. I bought her when I had just finished SI. She is very useful in my opinion and can hold her own in a fight.

2. Keisuke Yagi. I like his cross-eyed face and he is very useful in total. His Hide in the Shadows and Critical strike combo is amazing and he can heal on top of that. Why wouldn't I like him?

3. El Toro. The guy can dish out a lot of damage and his Critical strikes aren't only poweful, but fun to watch too. With El De Corps the guy is almost unstoppable.

4. Bonnie Anne. Her damage is amazing. Give her Burst firex2, and overwatch, she will kill with ease. Her Scatterblast not only does a nice chunk of damage, but lowers the enemies' dodge too.

5. Louise LeBisque. His Critical strikes are very powerful. My favorite one would have to be when his harpoon gun acts like a machine gun. I'm also a huge fan of his Rain of Motarshells and the way he talks too. The guy is a blast.

6. Wing Chun. He is a great companion in battle. His Call to Arms is useful and he can take hits from close ranged attackers and long ranged attackers too.

7. Gaspard De Vole. He is great wall. He takes hits and deals a lot of damage too. He blocks pretty often and doesn't miss too much. The guy doesn't really give me a reason to complain.

8. Ugabuga. He looks very cool with his Witchdoctor top hat. He has some great powers and is really useful in a fight.

I have a lot of favorite companions, so I'll choose my favorite out of all the schools.

Buccaneer: Subodai, he looks so serious all the time it's almost funny
Musketeer: Bonnie Anne, she's got that pretty Irish accent
Privateer: Wu Tang from the Crown Shop, I like the "in your face" move he does after defeating an enemy
Swashbuckler: Hands down Sarah Steele, she's just plain awesome
Witchdoctor: Mormo, he's super powerful

If I had to choose one favorite it would probably be Sarah Steele. Even though she doesn't have that much health, she's very powerful and "dodgy". I hope this review was helpful!

I love the constant bickering back and forth between Ratbeard & Bonnie Anne. I have to put Bonnie's keen eyes up in the crows nest and Ratbeard below decks manning the cannons just to keep from yelling "Knock it off, you two, or I swear I'll turn this ship right back around to Puerto Mico!" You'd think they were brother and sister as much as they love to argue with each other.

Favorite "victory move" so far - Kobe Yojimbo dropping to one knee for a Tebow-esque moment of prayer.

Thank you, KingsIsle, for giving each and every Companion large and small a distinct personality, for making them all so much more than just units and stats, and for not forgetting the "role-playing" in MMORPG.
Completely agree. The only time they have agreed on something was the horribleness of my Puerto Mico outfit.

My favourites are Sarah Steele and Ratbeard. Ever since Sarah's been on my crew, she's disliked every new companion. She hated Old Scratch, Lucky Jack Russel, and Ratbeard. I still think she hates Ratbead. Ratbeard has just been so straight forward about everything possible. He's like the cranky old man on my crew. I'm just waiting for him to crack a "Back in my day..." rants. Ratbeard and Sarah fighting for first, and Bonnie Anne in second.

Combat wise it's the same. They are my first three shipmates, and awesome so far in all of my battles. I actually used to *gasp* dislike Sarah. She would be out in about 2 rounds because of her bad health and constant misses. However now she is a great dodger and blocker, but doesn't have the best critical hits. Ratbeard gets constant critical hits, and for now, with all of his new epics, is the best, because of his promotion. Still waiting for Sarah's promotion.

Don't have the Monkey King yet (I have had two pirates hit level 50, and they have stopped there, part-way through Mooshoo). Looking forward to it.

Having had a chance to play with El Toro since my previous post on this thread, I would have to say he is now probably my favorite. I love his promotion quest ("No, that's just my shoe"). He has outstanding abilities (that esprit de corps ability is tremendously useful), and he receives a lot of them too. The animation for his critical hits are also a lot of fun. And he is one of the faster companions, too. An all-around winner.

Sarah Steele and her cousin Lucy Sterling are deadly, deadly, deadly. And have very graceful critical hit moves (but oddly graceless strides if one is your first mate and running beside you). My swashbuckler hired Lucy, and when both she and Sarah show up for a fight, it tends to be a short fight - especially if the enemy is mainly composed of melee types.

I also love Goronado. Effective in a fight, and he just looks awesome. (Odd that his colors don't match your crew... I wonder if KI will change that at some point). I have loved primates as long as I can remember, so I thing the Big G and all the monkeys are just a lot of fun. The monkeys are not as effective as many other companions, though.

I have one of the new pets from the tribal crew pack - the raptor, Kawil Doomclaw. He is very nice - looks good, and very handy in a fight. And the cat from the original bundle (he has random names) is still one of the best-looking companions, I think.

I like both Emmett and Lucky Jack Russell. When you level them up a lot, they can do SO much damage. I have proof, too. My friend has Emmett and he defeated SO many guys. Plus, canines are my favorite animal.

El Toro is my favorite. He deals out such good damage, which makes battles go by slightly faster.

I would have to say that El Toro is my favorite companion. He does so many critical attacks and he can do damage above 200 when you get him. He also takes out and weakens so many enemies.

It's a four way tie between Gaspard De Vole (I love the spinning ball critical trick he does; which I've named "The Bowling Ball of Doom"), Bonnie Anne, Mustang Sally and Subodai.

I am level 50 with two characters and holding with them... at a guess somewhere about 2/3s through MooShoo, judging by how far those characters are in Prospector Jake's MooShoo quest; my characters have not received the Monkey King quest yet. Or the Kitty Ninja quest. I look forward to both.

I've had quite the amount of favorite companions. Bonnie Anne and El Toro for example. But right now my favorite companion is certainly monkey king. Incredible damage going all the way up to 700 damage,lots of good epics such as riposte and first strike (for once first strike is good on a companion) that show up a lot,and last but not least a high dodge that matches for his low hp,making him a force to reckoned with.

my favorites are tier 3 bonnie anne ( fully promoted one), Shriku Neko ( ninja cat), and El toro ( el toro) All three are VERY strong and worthy. El Toro is probably the strongest companion in the game so far. or, on my swashbuckler, Sarah Steele. she always hits her target
