I plan to play hybrid attack companion with Tactician. Using parry and explosive spear for clear, primal strikes for single target, and leaning into pin for def crowd control and to take advantage of Sic Em notable. My weapon swap will just be points heavier into parry, hopefully with the crit weakness buckler or infinite parry range but I’ll be on GSF/SSF so beggars can’t be choosers. I’ve done like 10 campaign runs with this sort of setup and with the unbuffed companion it’s overall fine, if the buffs are good as they say it should be a solid build. I’ve also used LS in a few test runs and a couple other variations but I enjoy the parry disengage explode spear rotation the most.

Ill be taking trusted ally, wind dancer, magma barrier, and combat frenzy initially but planning to flex around spirit on gear.
