The Companion System in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
The Companion System, or as the game calls it, the Reinforcement system, lets you summon Companions. Companions are summoned by interacting with Battle Flags found in each mission map. Go to the Reinforcement menu and select your preferred Companion or Hero. This unlocks from the 2nd mission, Two Chivalrous Heroes.
There are 17 Companions to choose from in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. For every mission, you summon two Companions to join you. For each summons, you’ll need one Tiger Seal. Luckily, Tiger Seals aren’t too rare, as they can be found as loot in the game.
Companions fight enemies automatically the minute they appear, but you can command them to use their special abilities at will. You can heal downed enemies by going near them and pressing the prompted buttons. If not, they will retreat from your group. Although, you can heal them at either Battle Flags or Marking Flags.
You can also disband a Companion from your group using a Willow Branch. You can then summon another Companion from a Battle Flag. Remember, for each summons; you’ll use up a Tiger Seal, so manage your team wisely.
Oath Level for Companions
Oath Level is the bond you create with your Companions as you fight together and survive the many deadly battles in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, protecting each other’s back.
Furthermore, for each summoning, your Oath XP will increase, with that Companion’s Oath Level will increase by one. Leveling up Oath levels strengthens your Companions and unlocks new buffs and boosts called Warrior Effects. In fact, when you’re Oath Level reaches 5, your Companion unlocks an additional skill. Oath Level 10 promotes Companions into a Sword Brother/Sister. This makes them insanely useful and gifts you their powerful weapon and armor set.
To grind for Oath XP, defeat enemies and make your Companions defeat enemies. You can also use the Cup of Cordiality item to gain Oath XP. Hence, try to summon allies whenever you can.
Look at all the Companions you can summon in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and choose the ones that prefer your playstyle the most. Level them up and make them powerful allies with unstoppable might.
