7: Serafen
Best Pillars of Eternity 2 Deadfire Companions
Note: This article is ranking full companions only and not sidekicks.
Let’s start this list by saying no companion is “bad.” All of them have their perks, and can hold their own in battle. So when you’re going through the game and picking who you want to be your main party members, consider who you like personally as a character, how well they all mesh together as a team (both in-battle and personality), and ensure that whatever class you picked is well supported by the companions you choose to add. But for the purposes of this article, we’re going to go ahead and split hairs, and try to rank them.
Serafen has a unique combo class of Barbarian and Cipher, however in the former there are other choices that can give you similar frontline fighting capabilities, if you’re going to go for Serafen, consider going for Cipher or Witch.
However, that said, Serafen is great for characters that want to embrace a life of roguish pirate behavior and are a bit rough around the edges as he prefers those kind of interactions. However, if you’re going to play a pirate-hating character, Serafen will disapprove.
