Best Companions’ Skills in God of War Ragnarok
Before proceeding ahead there are spoilers for the second companion in the game. There are two main companions in GoW Ragnarok, Atreus and Freya. You should use the following skills with them:
Atreus Skills
- Cunning Eagle Eye: This skill is part of the Instinct skill tree. You can slow down time when aiming after a successful parry.
- Focus Shot: This skill is part of the Archery skill tree. It allows you to charge up your arrow while aiming and using light attacks. Charged shots deal more damage and can knock back enemies.
- Bludgeoning Strikes: This Skill is Part of the Aggression skill tree. Using light attack lets you trip and strike an enemy. Holding the light attack and then attacking lets you deal extra stun damage.

Freya Skills
- Seeds of Ruin: This is part of the Vanir Magic skill tree. Freya summons vines to pull a big rock from the ground and throw it at the enemy.

- Goddess Aggression: This skill is part of the Valkyrie skill tree. Freya parries and charges into enemies a lot more than usual and has a very aggressive play.
