In Avowed, having companions is crucial, especially during the intense battles you’ll face at Northreach Fort. The sheer volume of enemies can be daunting, making it essential for your allies to draw some of their attention.
Besides acting as distractions, each key companion has a unique role, with Yatzli being the last one you unlock in Shatterscarp. If utilized effectively, she can become one of the most advantageous allies in combat.
Understanding Yatzli’s Abilities
Each companion in the game boasts a unique exploration skill. While some abilities can be substituted by collecting items, Yatzli possesses a one-of-a-kind ability that cannot be replaced.
As you progress through the story in Shatterscarp, you’ll come across purple illusions that only Yatzli can dispel. In addition to this special skill, she has several abilities to enhance combat efficiency:
|
Essence Explosion |
Activating this ability summons a portal that releases a massive orb, plummeting it onto your target. This action inflicts damage within a small area and knocks back the enemy. With upgrades, you can decrease the cooldown, increase the explosion radius, and cause fire accumulation. |
|---|---|
|
Minoletta’s Missile Battery |
This skill generates an orb above the intended target that fires missiles continuously at nearby foes. You can enhance these missiles to inflict shock accumulation using the Shock Aspect. Additional upgrades can boost the firing rate and increase the damage radius. |
|
Arduous Delay of Motion |
This straightforward ability slows an enemy down temporarily. You can extend the effect to multiple targets with the Exhausting Field upgrade and enhance its slowing effects with frost-inflicting upgrades. |
|
Blast |
This passive ability enables Yatzli’s attacks to create a small area of effect after hitting the first target. With Explosive Blast, Yatzli can disable enemy defenses, demolish walls, and deal extra damage to frozen adversaries. Upgrading this skill can apply random debuffs to enemies and enhance stunning effects. |
Yatzli Upgrade Priority
Companion points are not easy to come by in Avowed, and you can allocate up to 15 points for each companion. Whenever you acquire a companion ability point, you can assign one to each ally. Here’s how to prioritize upgrades for Yatzli:

Using Yatzli: Key Moments
Once you recruit Yatzli in Shatterscarp, she becomes invaluable to your team, especially for dealing with illusions. Plus, she can effectively step in for Marius as your primary damage dealer. Yatzli excels at delivering substantial damage to both individual targets and groups of enemies.
You can utilize both Marius and Yatzli together since Yatzli’s attacks can increase enemy stun.
Marius has the ability to quickly eliminate high-stun enemies with one of his skills, forming a powerful duo.
After acquiring Yatzli, it’s ideal to keep her in your party consistently. She pairs well with all other companions, so you can choose anyone else for the second spot based on your gameplay preferences and build.
