How to go about companions?

I feel like I need to explain so uhhh yeah.

At first I just applied whatever companion as one does. With this seasonal, I was recommended to farm for the pebble giving ones like Kitfish and Snapper, did that - great no problem there. But I keep noticing some with specific food farming companions/dens. So I'm just very curious on the general idea on what to do with the companions. Do you organize companions a certain way or is there no need to?

Personally I do not care too much for companions but I do would like to work towards getting most to level 10. So I just wanna be sure if theres a specific strategy to what companions to look for or if its just whatever I seem to need or want.

IIRC the reason the seasonal ones are "recommended" is because they give you a higher tier of pebble payout for their respective rarity, which makes them one of the only outliers in terms of pebble/hour.

Most companions will give you the same pebble/hour ratio per 24 hours, the difference is whether you have to play with them 24 times (for the grey-rarity common guys) or 2 (for the legendary/kickstarter companions).

The seasonal companions pay out more like the legendary rarity companions per play, but you can play with them 4-6 times a day, so they end up paying out more. Whether this is actually intended or was an oversight isn't confirmed, but seems intentional for whatever reason.

As far as strategy goes... The only "real" strats are who you want on your Gauntlet teams and who you want to use for Hunting. Hunts take certain combos, there are basic beginner guides (tho most of them aren't updated anymore) to find for those. Gauntlet is similar, you'll want to adopt one of several strats, some basic guides also exist for those.

Another strat is frog farming, where you offset two 1-hr pebble companions with one 1-hr basidio/frog on dogs you want to level and release. A 2:1 ratio means you don't lose money playing with Nana, to make it easier. You won't really be making much a profit, but the point isn't the pebble profit, it's the dogs to level to 10 to release for knucklebone tokens to use/sell.

I'm currently building up an army of Brother Deers because @spoot said that they're amazing pebble generators

Ultimately, it’s up to you! I know a lot of people optimize their dens for pebble generation, which is super helpful up front. I think some more achievement or gameplay focused folks create pairings based on hunting (so trying to find different combinations to match each hunting mission as maximally as possible).

I personally just like to try to match my companions to my wolves aesthetically as much as possible — I have a few exceptions but generally it’s just for cuteness or cool vibes ✨

I prioritize Hunting when it comes to Companions (and wolves)! I use this guide to figure out what the best combos are and I basically back into the lore from there.
