That means new skills, new story scenes, and a new status as Hero of the Veilguard.

There’ll be no more conversations at camp orcompanion side quests to complete- that storyline is effectively over.

Depending on how you’ve developed your companions throughout the game, there may be a clear winner.

But in most cases, one skill is objectively better than the other.

Companions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard can look for love beyond Rook, pairing off with each other.

But which characters do these companions romance?

Gustave & Monoco In Clair Obscur Expedition 33

Her legendary armor here, the Inquisition Spotter, causes detonation to disrupt enemies.

Her armor, Archivist’s Mail, can detonate two nearby Sundered enemies in sequence.

Her armor, Reborn Leathers, causes Detonation to Shock nearby enemies with an additional 200 electric damage.

Wizards from Baldur’s Gate 3 bladesong power

Those two perks work in perfect harmony,making Chain Lightning by far the better choice.

The defensive boost is weak by comparison, and isn’t quite as useful as the damage buff.

The resulting Stagger is also increased by 10% for each enemy affected.

I don’t regret that choice.

Compared to choosing “Who was she?”

and granting Taash the Qunari Focus skill,Rivaini Flair is clearly the better option.

This means more damage over time, and a pretty much constant opportunity to detonate Necrosis for extra damage.
