Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General How do companions work?

I chose Fane for my character, so I can't speak about him as a companion. My party is:

Fane (Pyro/Necro/Geo/Summoner)
Red Prince (Tank/Geo)
Beast (Melee DPS, Aero, Hydro Healer)
Lohse (Huntsman/Scoundrel/Backup Healer)

At first I thought I wasn't going to like Red Prince, and was considering dismissing him but after some time it turns I'm liking him the most overall as a companion. Followed by Lohse, who I feel like will have a larger impact later on.
