heads up for anyone looking for a good ally to Guide/Allure, I've got two recommendations.
First and foremost is the Luckless Sellsword, found in Noblecourt, outside the tavern, who bemoans the three companions that betrayed him. his signature ability is itself gravely powerful, Full Enfeeblement, which strikes all enemies with a loss of strength and defense for both physical and elemental attacks! he likes to do it too, so you can pretty much shut down a boss's power for a long time with just one summoning! he can also strike like the lightning, dealing two spear blows and giving everyone a speed boost! he is immensely useful!
another is a particular drunk, who's location escapes me at the moment, has a skill with "Breath" in the title, in which he inflicts confusion, blindness, and poison to all his opponents, quite useful in the right circumstances!
the right use of these path actions and talents can be of immeasurable worth! heck, once you fully unlock Alfyn's apothecary skill set, he can make his single target Concoct's work on everyone, which is no doubt helpful when one of them provides 4 BP, and the Curious Concocts have such a bevy of helpful effects!
