In the adventure of The Great River and Lake: Azure Dragon and White Bird, the choice of teammates is crucial. Selecting the right followers in The Great River and Lake: Azure Dragon and White Bird not only affects whether you can complete some tough missions later on, but also plays a unique role in skill leveling and mission completion. These characters themselves can join the team by meeting certain conditions, and once they join, they can assist in battles.
The Black Wuchang is an expert in hidden weapons, with an extremely long attack range, which gives him a significant advantage in adventures. Therefore, it is recommended to recruit him first. His initial level is 9, with 15 points in arm strength, 13 points in agility, 6 points in constitution, 14 points in willpower, 9 points in comprehension, and 3 points in morality. After encountering him in the eastern part of Chengdu City, you need to defeat him and choose to bribe him. Then, go to the house in the upper left corner of the back mountain of Qingcheng, give the woman inside to him, and the character will join the team.
Sword Slave A Xia is a highly recommended follower. It is suggested that A Xia learn the secret manual of Left-Right Mutual Combat. You can recruit her after rescuing her in the Taihu Secret Passage. She can give the whole team a 10% chance of combo attacks. Sun Gu is also a good teammate choice. If you do not focus on sword skills, recruiting Sun Gu is a great option, as she can gain cooking skills by upgrading her culinary arts. After defeating the old lady in the Sword Tomb Valley and choosing to help her heal, Sun Gu will join the team.
Shi Yanzhang is a tank-type teammate who can both deal and absorb damage. First, take Gui Shou to the Qujia Village secret room to trigger the plot, then find Ke Chanshan at the Linan Douzi Fang. Return to the Qujia Village secret room to get items, and when leaving, a plot battle will be triggered. Go to the Linan government office to rescue from the prison. There are four NPCs in the prison: a monk, a constable, and Ke Chanshan. You can only save one. Choosing to save Shi Yanzhang increases your morality by 1 point. After the battle, Shi Yanzhang will join the team, and you will also receive a secret manual.
Bao Gou'er is known for his unique taunt skill, which is very useful for leveling up and practicing skills. Especially at level 9, the skill has a wide range, allowing players to gain more experience without causing extra damage to monsters. After completing the Feilai Peak plot, you can invite him to join the team. However, note that if you do not bury his mother, it may affect the acquisition of the secret manual.
Ba Ganchan is located next to the Hengyang blacksmith. Defeat him and give him the Eight-Step Ganchan mantra and the Ba family genealogy. When your morality is greater than 10, he will join the team. He comes with two secret manuals, which can increase the team's lightness skill by 15%. The driver needs to be defeated in Qujia Village, and he will join if your morality is greater than 10. After joining, you can obtain the Shaolin Heart Sutra. The recruitment process for Duan Tianyi is similar to that of Shi Yanzhang; finally, choose to save him, though this will reduce your morality by 1 point. Inviting him to join will further reduce your morality by 1 point, totaling a 2-point reduction.
The Northern Beggar can be found south of Xiangyang City. Trigger the recruitment process by giving the old man three medicines, then go to the old man's hut in the snow mountain to talk. Next, go to kill the bandits in the snow mountain. After killing the bandits, if your morality is less than 5, you can invite him to join the team. Note that once he joins, going back to the old man will not give you Fragment 3. The Northern Beggar's initial level is 17, with 21 points in arm strength, 13 points in willpower, 10 points in agility, 7 points in constitution, 8 points in comprehension, and 5 points in morality. He comes with two five-star skills: the Indestructible Diamond Body and the Crane and Snake Eight Strikes Staff Technique, which can provide defensive and offensive capabilities in battle.
Gong Moyan can serve as a secondary healer. She can also use swords and palms, although her initial willpower is low. Players can use peaches to help her acquire the Wu Qi Chaoyuan skill. Gong Shangyu is the music representative, currently having the best-looking model, and can be considered the true protagonist. Her equipment is easy to obtain, making her a versatile teammate. Ma Gu needs to be recruited at the Nuns' Temple after completing the Qingcheng Martial Arts Conference. However, the prerequisite is that the player's character must be female and possess two three-star secret manuals: Ma Gu Sword Technique and Ma Gu Offering Longevity.
The above are the recommendations for selecting followers in The Great River and Lake: Azure Dragon and White Bird. The requirements for these characters to join the team are not too high, and you can complete them while progressing through the story. If you have the opportunity, be sure to get these helpers.
