Isobel Build Guide
Companions are special NPC that assist players in combat in The Elder Scrolls Online. Isobel Veloise is a Templar-like Companion that can fulfill any role in the game, from DPS to Tank and Healer.
The primary role of Companions is to help players complete content faster. They are especially helpful to new players and can assist when dealing with easy or medium difficulty enemies. They are not however the best for harder content and they cannot efficiently replace other players.
If you want to learn more about Companions, you can take a look at my ESO Companions System Guide.
