DragonSword: Awakening Familiars Guide

Last updated: August 2026

Mount companions, aerial traversal, and the full Familiar roster including DLC cosmetic variants.

Familiar Companions

Familiars serve as mount companions enabling ground speed boosts, aerial flight, and aerial dash traversal between Eona's Legacy mills. They represent collectible adventure allies separate from combat heroes — adorable designs aid exploration without participating directly in tag-team battles except through mount-specific world interactions.

The Deluxe Edition includes exclusive Familiar Valiant Hatchling as a cosmetic collection item. Paid DLC Familiars are cosmetic-only. All gameplay-relevant Familiar abilities remain obtainable free through standard progression according to developer Q&A.
