Who are the best Bannerlord companions? The follow-up to Mount & Blade: Warband is out of Steam Early Access, and it’s gone down a treat with fans of the medieval sandbox RPG. If you’ve already been exploring the treacherous and stunning vistas of Calradia, you may have stumbled across some of the best companions in Bannerlord, but if you’re on the hunt for these companions, we’ve got you covered.
Bannerlord companions are special characters you can recruit throughout the world. You’ll find them in a number of places across the map, but first, it’s good to know what benefits they provide to your party. Companions can be quite pricey, but it pays to find companions that fit your party well, depending on the skills you’re lacking or looking for. Although they act like regular soldiers and take up one space in your party size, they’re not faceless warriors. Instead, they come with skills and a name and can be incredibly valuable as their skills apply to the rest of your party.
By increasing your Bannerlord party size, you’ll be able to fit in more companions. Similar to your character, they level up their skills as you progress, so it’s worth recruiting these companions as early as possible to reap the full benefit later on in the game. Here’s how to find companions in Bannerlord.
