Combat Allies
Certain champions have the ability to aid you in the Legion zones as a Combat Ally. Their help can be invaluable and can sometimes turn the tide of the combat so they definitely are something to consider for during your questing. Keep in the mind though that combat allies only work in the outside zones of the Broken Isles. That means they won't follow you into instances, battlegrounds, most scenarios and naturally to the other continents of the world.
The benefits which combat allies offer basically take three different forms:
1- A proc based ability
These abilities have a chance to occur when certain criteria is met. In this case it means either you attacking something or taking damage from the enemies, for example Death from the Shadows. There's always a hidden timer how often the combat ally ability can trigger.
2- An usable ability with cooldown
This kind of combat ally ability brings a new spell at your disposal which can be anything from damage and crowd control ( Winds of the North) to a powerful heal ( Boundless Quintessence). The cooldown of these abilities vary from two minutes to five minutes and you can expect the damage dealing ones to have a reduced effect against the harder enemies like world raid bosses. When a combat ally with this kind of an ability is active, the ability will appear in your screen and it can be dragged to the action bars or used directly from the special button:
3- An NPC which helps in combat
The last combat ally form is the most tangible one as you actually the get champion itself fighting to your side as a bodyguard. Usually bodyguards participate in the combat by attacking targets, casting spells and using some certain abilities typical to their class, for example, Vanessa VanCleef uses Kidney Shot. Bodyguard's stats scale based on the player's gear. They also create aggro and it is possible for them to die, but they will shortly ress - even during the combat.
Combat allies vary between the classes, but each class will always have five or six champions who can be assigned as a combat ally. Also, each class has at least one Bodyguard-type combat ally and specifically, one of them will have a Guardian ability. This ability combines a proc based ability type of combat ally (1) with a helping NPC type of combat ally (3). By using the ability, the player can toggle between the two aforementioned combat ally behaviors - whichever suits the current situation. You can see what combat ally abilities each class has from the next subsection.
Assigning a Combat Ally
A combat ally can be assigned from the Scouting Map in the Class Hall. The combat ally section can be seen in the Missions tab and clicking the button with a plus sign allows to choose which applicable champion to pick. It costs 50 to finalize the process, but removing a combat ally is free. There is no cooldown how often one can assign a combat ally.
