Combat Advantage Companions

vincentr6669

What are the companions that trigger CAdv when summoned?

I'm not talking about Active Bonus like Blink Dog, Razorwood and Staldorf, i'm talking about stuff like Cantankerous Mage that has a power named "Unbridled Force" in which it gives CAdv over any target hit by his Repel for 4 seconds.

Are there any more companions that do such thing? It would be useful for my Cleric and Paladin when soloing since they are the only classes that can't get CAdv on their own.

Pseudodragon has an attack that grants CA. In theory any companion that adds stun/bleed effects on enemies should give you CA too but don't quote me on that.

I checked every companion on collections and cataloged the ones that trigger CAdv, here are my findings:

Companion | Power
Cantankerous Mage | Repel + Unbridled Force
Swashbuckler | Devastating Impact
Pseudodragon | Poison Sting + Rampant Venom
Blink Dog | Lightning Claws
Yeth Hound | Pounce
Panther | Pounce
Dancing Blade | Stab + True Strike

This is based on tooltip only, i did not test every single one of these powers to know if they are working as intended. The only one i tested is Cantankerous Mage and it is working, unfortunately he doesn't use Repel a lot.

From the tooltips i can gather that all these powers are single target (which means they will only grant Combat Advantage over one target at a time), except Cantankerous Mage that hit multiple enemies with his Repel.

This is semi-offtopic but why can't you just move to the other side of your companion? I thought they fixed CA based on position?
