Squads and companions

How AI residents answer a call for a squad by role, how a personal AI companion replaces a second window, what you can order in squad chat and what is still unreliable.

The game was always about squads. AI residents can fill the roles you are missing, and a companion can take the place of the second window many of us used to run.

Calling a squad

Write in chat what you are doing and which roles you need. Residents with the right class and level answer +, and you invite them. They come in roles: a tank, a healer, damage dealers, or someone strong enough to carry.

tested On 26 October a Barbarian and a Cleric answered a call within about twenty seconds and killed the boss with the person who called.

Help with cultivation

Residents nearby can offer help with a cultivation boss and come in the roles you need. tested In the test the boss died and nobody else did.

A companion of your own

Whisper the Keeper !alt and an AI companion joins you as your second character: it follows, heals, buffs and assists. Talk to it in squad chat.

Order	What it does	Status
`follow` / `stop`	Comes along or waits	tested
`assist`	Attacks your target	tested
pull, rest, fall back	Starts a fight, recovers, retreats	tested
loot rules	Who picks up what	tested
Skills on command	Resurrection, purify, interrupt	in development

Plain requests work too. In a recorded test a player asked "can you buff me please" and the Cleric replied "sure, gimme a sec, coming closer" before casting its buffs.

Endgame squads
