Hi! I was wondering what's the best Crown Shop Companion for somebody that's a Swashbuckler and in Mooshu!

Gerard would definitely be the best crown shop companion to buy. If you decide to use him then tell me how he turned out. Just a little extra to say though, he looks awesome, he is strong, hes tough, he gets a lot of health, he does his epic, mega, and super moves more often then others, and he has really cool attacks.

I might consider you. His promotion levels? I'm guessing he's the same as Sarah Steele.

The Moo Shu 5 starter companion clones are the best crown shop crew in my opinion. They have the most epic talents, and get more normal talents than most. Keisuke Yagi is the best assassin. Wu Tang can boost accuracy. They all have their strengths.
The Kracken Skulls 5 (including Barnabus' clone) are the next best.
The Presidio 5 clones are the next best. Be advised that Jack Russel in the crowns shop is inferior to the Presidio Lucky Jack Russel.
The next best are the Aquila and Marleybone issue crew clones
All of these get more regular talents than most of the other crowns shop crewmen.
Honorable mention goes to Goronado, who may be short on talents, but is amazing for a buccaneer or witchdoctor anyway.
Consider what hole you need the new crewman to fill in your lineup versus the strengths of the available companions when you decide.

Finally, I urge you to wait until you max out your pirate's level before buying any crowns shop companions or picking up any side quest companions. This will save you a boatload of gold in training tomes and the new crewmen will be higher level than you will be able to train them up to with books until the new content is released.
