Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader companion tier list – The best companions for the campaign
Before we delve further into our Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader companion tier list, we suggest taking a look at our companion recruitment guide so you’ll know how to bring all 10 potential allies into the fold. As far as our ranking system goes, this is based on each follower’s capabilities both combat and exploration. After all, the best damage-dealer might not be that viable if you need to swap them for someone else just to open a container, right? Likewise, bear in mind that you can have a six-person squad at maximum (the Rogue Trader main character and five teammates).
S-tier: Cassia
- Origin: Navigator (unique)
- Basic archetype: Officer
- Suggested advanced archetype: Grand Strategist
- Combat role: Support
- Attributes: Fellowship and Willpower
- Skills: Persuasion, Commerce, Coercion, and Lore (Imperium)
Cassia is singularly the best companion in Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader. She’s unique in that she’s the only Navigator that joins your team, and her powers are incredible. For starters, she has talents that cause her to gain additional movement points (MP) and bonus wounds/HP. Cassia’s strongest ability is Point of Curiosity, which can pull in nearly a dozen hostiles so that they’re clustered together. You can follow this up by casting Lidless Stare, a massive frontal cone blast that can potentially stun. Alternatively, you can let Yrliet or Sister Argenta blast everyone since they’re all nearly lined up.
