Many gamers are pretty hype with Final Fantasy XV. They want to know every information about the game and, it's our pleasure serving them FFXV food for thoughts for their breakfast, launch and dinner.
So to make the discussion short, we will give them various info about the game, and even guides starting from this one which tackles about the three companions of the lead protagonist of the game Noctis. You will learn here the three main companion of Noctis and one that appears when Noctis badly need assistance.
So let's begin.
Main Companion Characters
Unlike the other characters, Prompto is a ranged fighter who uses a variety of pistols. Prompto has high damage output in comparison to the other companions. Apart from Noctis, he does the most damage of any character. His attacks range in speed and utility. Some of his attacks are area-of-effect while others unleash high single-target damage. In classic terms, Prompto would be considered ranged DPS or ranged glass cannon. Prompto’s abilities rely on having distance between himself and enemies. While other characters engage enemies in melee range, Prompto can do high amounts of damage from afar.
Prompto moves at an average pace. He does not have the speed or teleport abilities that Ignis or Noctis have, but his animations are faster than the other companion animations. Prompto is usually on the outskirts of a battle and fairly distant from enemies. He is most effective when he does not have to move, which allows him to focus on dealing as much damage as possible. In combat, he cheers for Noctis after witnessing a stylish or brutal move.
Ignis is a melee fighter and does not use weapons. As a combatant, his damage output is the lowest of the companion characters. Instead of dealing more damage, his attacks are meant to enhance other character’s abilities and disrupt enemy attacks. In classical terms, Ignis’ abilities can be classified as crowd control. He employs a variety of stuns, slows, and distractions that allow other characters to escape difficult situations.
Ignis moves very quickly, and his attacks are among the fastest in the game. Typically, Ignis does not remain in the thick of the fighting for long. Ignis prefers to launch an attack, move away from the fighting, and then re-engage when his abilities are no longer on cool down. He frequently warns Noctis of incoming attacks. In addition, he supplies Noctis with strategic information.
Like Noctis, Gladiolus is a melee fighter who uses a colossal sword. Gladiolus has moderate damage output in comparison to the other companions. His attacks are slow, sweeping, and usually inflict area of effect damage against foes. However, Gladiolus has a large amount of health and incredible defenses. Most of his attacks also generate threat. In classical terms, Gladiolus’ would be referred to as a tank. His threat generation removes the focus of enemy attacks from Noctis and other companions. While enemies attack Gladiolus, Noctis and the other companions can focus on defeating an enemy without being attacked themselves.
Gladiolus moves rather slowly. His attacks are also slow, but if he lands a hit many enemies are stunned, knocked down, or knocked back. Gladiolus is usually found in the middle of a horde of enemies. He prefers to generate threat in the middle of as many enemies as possible, which allows other characters to perform tasks unimpeded. He usually asks Noctis not to advance too far ahead. Gladiolus also cautions Noctis against generating too much threat.
Additional Companion Character
While not a full-time companion, Cor occasionally appears to help Noctis. Cor is a melee character with high damage output. He uses a katana and is fairly light on his feet.
Cor moves quickly. He is most effective when behind enemies and not being attacked. Despite being melee, he prefers to target single enemies who are away from the main group.
