Happy Friday, everyone!
The Companions Update is here, beginning the feature that enables you to recruit the first companion into their party.
To unlock companion recruitment, you must reach the rank of Regular.
Once you get that promotion, a new badge will appear on the map, near the shop.
Clicking on the recruitment badge will display a screen with three candidates, who are fixed for now but will be random in the future.
The three candidates are the three brothers initially planned for the now-defunct Story Mode.
Other changes of note:
- Combat at-a-glance improvements that will now enable you to quickly tell if an enemy has a reaction or armor card in their hand; you can now also tell which combatants are in the back line by the arrow that appears on the side of their health bar;
- Adjusted Deserters to provide more of a challenge and the gold rewards; defeating more difficult enemies now awards more gold pieces
- Various visual fixes
Enjoy!
