Here are the best Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord companions that we've found thus far alongside the skills that make them stand out: This means that while two different Anaheids might have different skills, two different Willowbarks or the Luckys will always have the same set of skills. The trick to uncovering Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord's best companions is knowing that their surnames dictate their skill archetypes. But how can you tell which of them are the best companions? This should result in only companions being listed.Д¬licking on each of their entries gives you valuable information about them, including stats and where they were last seen, making it possible for you to track them down and potentially recruit them into your army. Press N, click on Heroes, then scroll down and select the filter for Wanderer under Occupation. You should employ a good shieldwall formation of infantry or spearmen (better if it's heavy) so they're not vulnerable to pincer attacks.Keeping track on all the companions in your campaign can easily be done using Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord's encyclopedia. Indo95, to me they're great, the Tiger Cloaks, their defense is indeed a bit low, but they're cheap on the wages and are very good at killing. The reason for that line of thinking is that they're wages are really high, and also because against other cavalry having cavalry units that employ polearms is a deciding factor since a well put couched lance is an insta death strike. Red Cloaks are strong, as are the Vale Knights, but they're not necessarily the best options unless you can employ large numbers of cavalry permanently. Attacking them will cause your relationship with R'hllor followers bad, and if you plan on becoming monarch it's unwise to provoke the faiths.

These are my favourites so far, I'm sure there are other great units, the Targaryens seem to have a pretty good cavalry too, you can use Dragon Knights instead of Vale KotG, and the units before Dragon Knight, the Crownlands Lancer instead of Mercenary Heavy Cavalry. Horse Archers: Fireborn (best archery proficiency, evolve from Red Priests), Sand Cavalry (bows, scimitar and shield), Dothraki Horselord (bows and arakh)Д¬avalry: Vale Knight of the Gate (shield and greatsword, overal strongest cavalry), Mercenary Heavy Cavalry (sword, shield and lance, great vs any ground and other cavalry) Skirmisher: Ironborn Finger Dancer (axes, shields and throwing axes) Infantry: Unsullied (double as spearmen), Stormlands House Guard (equipped with maces for shield penetration), Northern House Guards (same as Stormlands but with axes), Sworn Sword (greatswords, no shield)Д¬rossbowmen: Westerlands Arbalester (crossbow, sword and shield)ДЄrchers: Night's Watch Veteran Elite Ranger (longbows and greatswords), Tiger Cloak Elite Archer (longbows and swords, cheaper than Night's Watch top ranger unit) Imo, after inspecting the troop tree in the camp menu, and some no-faction units you have to discover through exploring the mod, I came to this conclusion:
