follower in ESO: High Isle. Only one companion character can accompany players at a time.
The Khajiit are a race of anthropomorphic felines who come from Elsweyr. Elsweyr is in the south-central region of Tamriel's main continent, and the race has been a playable character since the first Elder Scrolls game in the series. The Khajiit are masters of stealth and agility, like their real-life feline inspirations, and make great assassin characters. In previous games, the Khajiit were known to be merchants, smugglers, and thieves. In the previous Elder Scrolls mainline game, Skyrim, they were skooma smugglers, aided by their high sneak and stealth abilities. There have been many Khajiit NPCs in Elder Scrolls games over the years.
The companions on Elder Scrolls Online each have different strengths. Ember is adept at magic and has sorcery skills. She also provides the Ember's Intuition expertise, providing players the chance to find hidden wallets and more gold when pickpocketing.
Best Ember Builds for Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle
There are three potential builds players can use with Ember as a companion in Elder Scrolls Online:
- Shock Damage: use the Lightning Caller skill line to use Ember like a damage dealer. The Lightning Caller skill line has four skills that deal either lightning damage or magic damage to enemies. Players who are looking to have another damage dealer may look to shock damage. Elder Scrolls is a powerful magic type that can affect a single enemy or a wider area of effect.
- Protection: use the Mischievous Caster skill line to help distract enemies and protect players from damage. The Mischievous Caster skill line has three skills that can damage, stun, or immobilize enemies.
- Healing: use the Playful Schemer skill line to use Ember like a healer. The Playful Schemer skill line has three skills that can heal players and the companion, restore cooldowns, and create damage shields that protect from damage and heal players simultaneously.
Of the three, the best build for Ember is Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle is to make her a healer. Healers in Elder Scrolls Online are an important point to playing in a party or in multiplayer; even if players choose to play solo, having a companion as the healer will help players take down larger bosses. Regardless of what class the player chooses, having a healer on the team frees players up to focus on dealing damage. There are three skills in the Playful Schemer skill line: Quick Fix, Second Wind, and Shared Wards.
- Quick Fix allows the Ember to heal herself or an ally for 4950 health.
- Second Wind allows Ember to reduce cooldowns by five seconds.
- Shared Wards allow Ember to create an energy ward that shields players and nearby allies from up to 2475 damage for six seconds. It also has a secondary effect of healing players and their allies for 2475 health over eight seconds.
The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle is available now for PC and Mac and launches June 21 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
