Basic Info

  • Companions can only be recruited inside a dungeon in Shiren 6.
    • To be clear, you can't ask them to join you before heading out.
  • Companions can appear in the following dungeons:
    • Serpentcoil Island
    • Ghost Ship
    • Dune of Batsu
    • Training Path of Gimmicks
    • Training Path of Shopping
    • Kiki Island
    • Yamakagashi Pass (Version 1.1.0+)
    • Sacred Ocean Tunnel (Version 1.1.0+)
  • Companions who join in the middle of Serpentcoil Island cannot be taken to other dungeons.
    • However, they can be taken to hidden routes like Secluded Path.
  • Companions follow you to the next floor even if they weren't near you when you advance floors.
  • The player can have up to 3 companions following them at any given time.
    • It's possible to remove companions from your party using a menu option.
  • Experience points do not get reduced based on party size.
    • It doesn't matter who defeated the monster, everyone earns the full amount of experience points.
  • A companion character's level resets after the current adventure ends.
    • Unlike Shiren 5, there's no point to leveling them up in terms of meta-progression.
  • Starting level can vary depending on the dungeon or floor where you recruited the companion.
  • Companions who have an ability will decide on their own whether or not to use the ability.
    • The player cannot make them use their ability by talking to them.
  • A companion character's HP is displayed in the upper right side of the screen.
    • Unlike Shiren, exact HP values are not displayed.
    • Companions regenerate HP as turns elapse, except for when they attack.
  • The player can strengthen or heal a companion by throwing an item at them.
    • Power-up Grass, Invincible Grass, or Swift Grass behaves as you'd expect.
    • Herb, Otogirisou, Healing Grass, Life Grass, and Rejuvenation Pot (1+ capacity) does restore HP.
      • Max HP does not increase when the companion's HP is already at max.
    • Revival Grass, Grilled Onigiri, and Fixer Scroll does not restore HP.
  • Companions don't get reduced attack power when afflicted with Onigiri status.
    • However, they can't use their ability, and Asuka will lose the effects of equipped items.
  • Companions will retreat when their HP gets very low (20~30% HP remaining?).
    • Stronger monsters can hit for 50%+ of a companion's HP, so you'll still want to protect them.
  • The HP bar can act somewhat glitchy when a companion's Max HP exceeds 190 or so.
    • This mostly only occurs when Asuka has equipment with Max HP increasing runes.
  • Items like Windblade Scroll and Confusion Scroll don't affect companions.
    • However, Sweet Potato and Gassy Trap will make companions warp.
  • Talking to a companion character doesn't end your turn.
  • Companions sometimes move in a way to stay at Shiren's side instead of following behind him.
    • They also avoid monsters that aren't an immediate threat, such as Napping or Paralyzed ones.
  • Companions aside from Asuka seem to always dodge thrown weapons, shields, and bracelets.
    • This includes equipment disarmed by a Swordsman family monster.
  • Switching places with a companion only ends Shiren's turn - The companion can still act.
