Who is better? I got Subodai, but i think Egg Shen is better because of the heal. If he gets one.

They are both very, very good. My Subodai at lower levels missed a lot, but he got better, and became one of my strongest companions. Egg Shen (who does not get a heal, at least by level 47/48) has always been excellent and seems to critical a lot.
I slightly prefer Egg Shen because of his personality: he is good-humored, funny, and gentle. I think he is sweet. Subodai is what you would expect from a warrior from a Mongol-like tribe: austere, honorable, and full of fortitude. But I think my character Anne needs such adult figures to remind her of duty and sense; after all, she has Sarah Steele romp around with and be kids together!

i personally think subodai is the winner. i have done a pvp with my friends at level 9 once when i didnt have member and subodai killed egg in 3 turns they were both level nine. but i agree that eggs attacks are cooler besides buccaneer strike when subodai is a khan it is wicked

Why is everybody talking about heals?! Nether egg or subodai have one. Personally I say there evenly matched. It is just a matter of personality.

They're both amazing
Subodai looks amazing after his second promotion though...

It is a tough one because my two main pirates that i played to marleybone and one of my pirates was privateer and the other swashbuckler so i experienced both companions at the beginning to end i never had a problem with egg shen and he was one of my companions that almost never died in battles but when i made my swash pirate subodai wasnt so good in the beginning and missed a lot and died a lot but after his first promo he got a lot better but still wasnt as good as egg but after his 2nd promo he was unstoppable their was one battle in mooshu where me and all my companions died except subodai and we were fighting swashbuckler enemys that do a big lode of damage and their were three left that still had a good amount of health but subodai knocked them all out which was amazing. He also got me through the hard dungeons of marleybone and aquila he is one of the best and my personal favorite starter companion in the game so i would say subodai all the way

I actually prefer Wagyu Sanjuro, the cow guy I think. Either him or Wing Chun. Wing chun has high health, low attacks, and a heal. ( I think his critical music isnt so good ) Wagyu Sanjuro has low health but super high attack damage. His critical music is cool, and he get's swashbuckler's strike, which looks so epic!!!

I know right!

I love Egg. Subodai is great and all but to me Egg is amazing. I find Egg's critical rate higher and even though their accuracy is the same Egg has hardly even missed a target when I battle with him especially after his promotions. I wish I could have them both!
