Learn about Sirin, the chanter/bard companion in Tyranny. Details on her abilities, talents like Langurous Tempo, and how to improve her survivability.
Sirin possesses the lowest number of stat points among all allies and has a base recovery time of 1.2 seconds, slower than the typical 1-second recovery time of most companions. She can hold the third-most spell slots out of any companion in the game.
Walkthrough
- 1Sirin's basic combo is decent but extremely slow. Damage occurs near your main character, requiring a durable main character or a willingness to take damage to execute this combo.
- 2Consider the talent Langurous Tempo, which reduces your sing rate by 25%. This talent is intended to make certain stanzas last longer, but since all songs loop, it primarily reduces your ability to use Arias by 25%.
- 3It is highly recommended that everyone invest two points into the War talent tree to acquire the Rapid Tempo talent.
- 4You absolutely must acquire one of the Sustained Breath I/II or Quick Breath I/II talents, and potentially both.
- 5The Disarming Guise/Guise of Innocence I talent offers complete immunity to engagement, significantly boosting Sirin's survivability. Pair this with spells that root, prone, or stun to allow Sirin to maneuver freely and escape danger.
- 6Talents like Crystalline Control I/II and Focused Song enhance specific song types. Pure-blue songs are considered defensive, while pure-red songs are offensive. Mixed songs do not benefit from these talents.
Tips
- Be aware that Langurous Tempo exacerbates a critical gameplay flaw by reducing your singing rate, similar to issues faced by chanters in Pillars of Eternity.
- Rapid Tempo should ideally be an innate character trait rather than a talent choice.
- Disarming Guise/Guise of Innocence I is the strongest reason to invest in the Peace tree for Sirin.
- Remember that defensive songs are pure-blue and offensive songs are pure-red; mixed songs do not gain benefits from Crystalline Control I/II or Focused Song.
