Best companion for warrior shield build

[Mr.PerfectCell]

Hello, I am currently doing a warrior shield build with 1 handed weapon and I am wondering which companion is the best.

- Grissenda 2 handed
- Hirge healer
- Adaon melee or ranger

My build is based on being a tank so Adaon makes sense for the damage and helping with traps and secret doors while Hirge will heal me up. With 2 handed Griss she will do damage and be a little tanky.

Ever played with Adaon? In theory he would suit best, but he is impossible to be used, at least for my playstile, I tried it very often but always failed (it was easier solo than with him)

Don't think too much about it, just try and chose what suits you best, game mechanics are less important than your own style. For me for example Hirge is always the best choice, even as a cleric I still prefer her a bit more than gris

I have tried all companions in the past and I can use all of them. It's really about who is the best for my warrior.

Hirge... she's a free heal pot.

2H Griss will do well too.

Adaon is novelty, not utility.

Hirge's healing ability will help you endure longer dungeons.
Gris as a 2-H will help do some extra damage.
Gris as a 1-H will give a balance to damage and defense.

In the early game, when gold is rare, Hirge will shine.
In the mid-game, when gold (and thus health potions) are much easier to obtain, Gris will shine.

Both Hirge and Gris will do well, just in different ways, so player choice.
