Mount And Blade Warband

Guide to Companion Builds

@Sturmhorst, I did some research on the Mount And Blade wiki & you got a point. I saw a info mention this:C Note: Certain aspects of most NPCs are randomly generated at the beginning of every new game. There are 19 companions for the player to discover roaming around the lands of Perisno. Each companion has a story to tell about their past,a unique set of skills, and can be customized to the player's liking. They can all be found in the taverns of Perisno's towns with the exception of Hyk, who can only be obtained if the player chooses the 'A cold island far to the north' backstory.

Introduction

This took me awhile but I felt this was necessary to do. This was made for myself, but thought it would be helpful and cool for others to see. In advance, I will say that this is suited to my play style, thus my opinion on what I think fits best with whatever. You can always change what each characters classes and roles are. Whether you change from what I've recommended (as I do have multiple options for some companions) or you change them entirely. That is fine, suit your play style. Anyway, on with the guide.
In this guide, you will see:

• Classes and what weapons the classes will use.
• Roles and the aligned skills with those roles.
• Companions with their class and role.
• Companion group builds.

Other Remarks

All previously listed are what I think fits best from what I have gathered from looking through each companion's character sheet. You can always change what class or role a companion has that fit your play style.
As for group builds, again, they are very interchangable. I encourage experimentation on what group builds are the best. These builds are just something that I think are best.
