If you're playing The Elder Scrolls Online's Necron Chapter, you'll want to check out the two new companions that have been added to the game: Sharp-As-Night - Argonian Warden, and Azandar - Redguard Arcanist. Each of these companions has unique ESO skills and personalities that can help your character in different ways. In this guide, we'll take a closer look at both companions to help you decide which one is right for you.

• Azandar - the Redguard Arcanist
• Sharp-As-Night - the Argonian Warden

↖ Azandar - the Redguard Arcanist

Azandar's offensive skill line is called Scholar of Apocrypha, and it's focused on dealing damage and debuffing enemies. His ultimate ability, Tentacular Eruption, is a powerful attack that damages enemies, knocks them up, stuns them, and also applies a debuff that increases their damage taken by 10%. This is an excellent ability for a companion to have, especially if you're looking to take down tough enemies quickly.

In addition to his ultimate ability, Azandar has several other offensive abilities that can help him deal with damage and control the battlefield. Scathing Rune taunts enemies and applies a minor maim, reducing their damage output. Augmented Ward is a small damage shield that can help Azandar survive attacks, and Fear of the Gnome is a single target stun that can interrupt enemy attacks.

If you need healing, Azandar has a few abilities that can help you out. Revitalizing Researcher Triptych Physic is a burst heal that can quickly restore your health. Shields of Airdition can apply a damage shield to up to three targets, which can help mitigate incoming damage. Finally, Zone of Recuperation is an area heal that also gives bonus recoveries, which can help you recover quickly after taking damage.

Overall, Azandar is a versatile companion that can be used for tanking, healing, and DPS . His toolkit is well-suited for all three, and his unique abilities and debuffs make him a strong choice for any situation.

↖ Sharp-As-Night - the Argonian Warden

Sharp-As-Night's offensive skill line is called Beasts of the Hunt, and it's focused on dealing with the damage and controlling the battlefield. His ultimate ability, Gore, deals a lot of damage and stuns enemies for three seconds, making it a powerful attack that can help turn the tide of battle.

However, beyond his ultimate ability, Sharp-As-Night's offensive abilities offer little in terms of buffs or debuffs. He's better suited for dealing with damage and controlling the battlefield.

If you need healing, Sharp-As-Night's defensive skill line, called Virgin Growth, Fungal Forge offers some basic healing abilities but nothing that sets him apart from other companions. His abilities include Perennial Bloom, an AOE heal. Pedals of the Hunter, which causes the companion to healing based on light attacks (but companions typically don't do light attacks), and Cold Snap, an area immobilize that also does damage over time. Finally, Snow Squall is a strong burst heal with a long cooldown.

However, the biggest weakness of Sharp-As-Night is his lack of shields in his defensive tank skill line and his lack of damage reduction. This makes him a weak choice when it comes to tanking, which is a major downside in some situations.

Conclusion:

Overall, Azandar is the stronger companion of the two. He has more unique abilities, buffs, and debuffs than Sharp-As-Night, making him a versatile choice for tanking, healing, and DPS. If you're looking for a new companion in the Necron Chapter, Azandar is the one to go for. However, if you're looking for a companion that can deal damage and control the battlefield, Sharp-As-Night may be a good.
