Their damage output will increase a tiny bit, thanks to the item level you gain, but that's it : a Mythic companion will deal as much damage as a Common companion if we neglect the Item Level and Stats Loss.

and that's just a pure loss in scaled content !įurthermore, improving your Summoned Companion's quality will NOT improve the damage output of their powers (goodbye AD and Companion Upgrade Tokens used for the tests). This means that, as you get better and better companions, your own stat percentages will decrease by up to 1.2% in every stat, and that's not really compensated by the effect of the Enhancement power when you solo. So you can get up to 3750 item level from your Summoned Companion, which is nice for regular content, but how does that impact stats ?Ĭompanions give you 85% of their own item level as combined ratings (2550 to all stats at Mythic with 100% Bolster). Legendary : 500 Item Level, effect : 5%.Uncommon : 50 Item Level, effect : 0.5%.Your summoned companion's quality also impacts the quality of your Enhancement power, which gives you even more item level (though this one is NOT affected by Companion Bolster) and an effect which procs often when you hit/heal, which is a buff to 1 stat, a debuff to 1 stat of your ennemy, or a heal that restores a portion of your and your companion's health : Mythic : 1500 Item Level (3000 with 100% bolster).Legendary : 1000 Item Level (2000 with 100% bolster).Epic : 600 Item Level (1200 with 100% bolster).Rare : 300 Item Level (600 with 100% bolster).Uncommon : 100 Item Level (200 with 100% bolster).Common : 10 Item Level (20 with 100% bolster).This value is the only value affected by Companion Bolster : Your summoned companion gives you item level depending on its quality. There are many options, from augments / tanks / buffers / debuffers / single target damage dealers / aoe damage dealers / healers, and each companion has their own set of powers, and their positionning (which is important for combat advantage) also differs.

Bolster improves the item level and damage of your summoned companion, who's fighting with you.Īs companions are being "reworked" (broken), I'll redirect you to Aragon, who made a very good series of videos on companions. Equip Powers give you both high item level, almost always 100% combined ratings (so your percentages stay unchanged), and percentage bonuses for your stats. ⚠ Note that summoned companions are constantly being nerfed or modified, I cannot give proper advice on them, as the best is the one that will survive Cryptic after they fail reworking them countless times.Ĭompanions are very important to upgrade, at least the one you use as summoned, and the ones you use for their equip powers.
