Well, in ESO, ya gotta talk about them companions, right? They got all kinds of folks to pick from nowadays, make it real hard to decide. So I figured I’d give ya the rundown on these fellas, so’s you can figure out who might fit yer play style best.
Now, What’s a Companion Even Do?

See, companions in ESO, they’re like your right-hand help when things get rough. They ain’t perfect, no sir, but they help a good bit. Each companion has different strengths and weaknesses, ya know. So, dependin’ on what ya want – healin’, fightin’, or just someone to soak up damage – there’s someone out there for ya.
Now, let me tell ya a bit about each of ’em. There’s Bastian Hallix, a sturdy fella with a lotta heart; Mirri Elendis, who’s real popular; then there’s Ember the Khajiit, sneaky and fiery, if ya know what I mean. And let’s not forget the favorite – Isobel Velois, she’s tough and can heal ya up quick-like. Then we got some new faces: Sharp-As-Night and a few others like Tanlorin and Zerith-Var.
Isobel Velois – The Big Shot
Now, if you’ve been lookin’ around for the best of the bunch, folks’ll tell ya Isobel’s got that title. She’s a bit of a hero, really. She’s good at healin’ folks, which means she keeps ya from kickin’ the bucket too soon. Plus, she’s tough as nails, too. Her skills make her real good at tankin’ – ya know, takin’ them big hits so you don’t have to.
Best For: Healing and Tankin’
- Healin’: Isobel’s skills can heal ya up nice and quick, which is mighty useful when yer health is low.
- Ultimate Skill: She’s got a special skill that packs a punch and can keep ya in the fight longer.
Ya see, she’s good at tankin’ too, which means she takes on enemies right up front. That’s good news if yer the type who likes to stand back and shoot from afar. Just let her handle the up-close fightin’!
Mirri Elendis – The Fan Favorite
Now, Mirri, she’s got a lotta fans. Folks seem to like her style, and she’s good at damage per second (or DPS as folks call it, but let’s keep it simple, alright?). Basically, she’s got some moves that’ll do a fair bit of damage real quick. Only thing is, she ain’t as strong as ol’ Isobel. She might get knocked down faster, but if ya lookin’ to take out enemies quick, she’s yer gal.
Best For: Quick Attackin’
- DPS: Mirri’s all about damage, but be careful – she don’t hold up as well in a long fight.
Ember the Khajiit – For the Sneaky Ones

Ember’s a sneaky one, bein’ a Khajiit and all. She’s real fast and has that clever way about her, good for folks who like stayin’ in the shadows. If ya like catchin’ folks off guard, Ember’s got a few skills that’ll help ya sneak around and take out enemies quick-like. Just don’t count on her to be tough as nails – she ain’t got the same grit as Isobel.
Best For: Sneaky Players
- Stealth Attacks: Ember’s good for quick, quiet takedowns.
Now, Let’s Talk About the New Ones
ESO added some fresh faces with new updates, like Tanlorin and Zerith-Var. They bring their own special talents, too. I reckon if yer lookin’ for somethin’ a bit different, ya might wanna give these two a try. Each of ’em’s got their own quirks, and they’re lookin’ to help ya enjoy Tamriel a bit more.
Making Yer Choice
Now, when it comes down to pickin’ a companion, think about what ya really need. Want someone tough? Go with Isobel. Lookin’ to deal damage fast? Maybe Mirri is the one for ya. Like sneakin’ around? Ember’s yer gal. Don’t be afraid to try a few out, ‘cause ya can always swap ‘em around dependin’ on what yer doin’ that day.
Plus, once ya unlock a companion, they’re there for all yer characters. Just gotta do that little introduction quest, and then – bam! – ya can use ’em with any of yer characters. It’s real handy.
Wrap-Up
So, in ESO, companions are kinda like yer backup, someone to help ya along the way. They got different talents, strengths, and styles. Whether it’s Isobel healin’ ya up, Mirri slicin’ and dicin’, or Ember sneakin’ around, there’s a companion that’s sure to match how ya play.
So go on, give ‘em a try, and find the one that’s right for ya! Happy adventurin’ in Tamriel!
