Like your character, companions also level up as they gain more experience. Those skills make companions a valuable addition to your clan, since the bonuses from them are applied to your own army (if a companion is riding with you) or any party you assign that companion to lead. How Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord companions workĬompanions are a lot like regular soldiers in your party, only they have an actual name, backstory, and a set of skills.
That's why we created this guide, which breaks down how companions work, where to find them, and what you can use them for. But where do you find new companions to hire in Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord, and how can you tell whether their skills are a good match for you? Like everything in Taleworlds' complex medieval sim, it's complicated.
