Helion or Lunara
Your first companion, and a permanent choice: you can only own one. Both are Light DPS with identical base stats, so the difference is how they fight.
Helion fights up close with burst damage. Its trait, Solar Grace, adds 30% final damage when it isn't attacking with an advantageous element, and every 4 basic attacks empower its next skill. In battle its innate skill turns it into Soleon.
Lunara attacks from range, heals itself and weakens targets' Light resistance. Its trait, Lunar Power, adds 30% final damage when it isn't attacking with an advantageous element, and its skills charge basic attacks that deal extra damage and heal a little. In battle its innate skill turns it into Fennelun.
