Animal companions, especially mounts, are one of the strongest features a class can have in WotR.<\/p>\n<p>Mounted combat is pretty much the way to go at higher difficulties. You get a ton of extra movement per turn, and enemies will almost exclusively target the mount instead of the rider, letting you spec your mount as a guaranteed tank and your rider as a glass cannon.

The game boasts all sorts of exotic pets and mounts, but the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/CMr0zN7TP5c?si=5YiyLWpVUl2qoB2j\" target=\"_blank\">Sable Company Marine<\/a>&#8221; gets a rideable griffon companion from level one.<\/p>\n<p>Technically it&#8217;s a &#8220;hippogriff,&#8221; but that&#8217;s a distinction I refuse to respect. I don&#8217;t know what the difference is even supposed to be: DLC companion Ulbrig&#8217;s whole thing is that he shapeshifts into a griffon\u2060\u2014it&#8217;s explicitly called a griffon\u2060\u2014and they&#8217;re both retextures of the same exact model. If you&#8217;re not going to take your own fantasy taxonomy seriously, I certainly won&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, my griffon, who I&#8217;ve named Griffin, is very strong as far as mounts go, but he&#8217;s got a real ace up his feathers: A flying dive bomb that can strike anyone onscreen at any time, unshackled from charge attacks&#8217; usual terrain restrictions. Mounted charges can get all kinds of bonuses to damage in WotR: Spears make them do double damage, a feat can increase that to x3, and there&#8217;s an extra attack on kill ability that will carry the bonuses to your next target (and the next one, and the next one).<\/p>\n<p>Griffin and Balanok\u2060\u2014my cool Orc who&#8217;s good at everything\u2060\u2014are a missile on four legs (two claws, two hooves). I laugh at fights that devastated me in my first playthrough, one-shotting bosses and wiping out entire enemy back lines before they can say &#8220;Hold Person.&#8221; <\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BJVQhY5qdHgSa2wnAUhFre\" name=\"20260318161124_1\" alt=\"Pathfinder WotR screenshot showing battle with expanded activity log that includes a 232 damage critical hit against an early boss enemy.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pathfinder-wrath-of-the-righteous-232-subclasses-make-it-the-ultimate-rpg-for-buildcrafting-freaks-especially-the-overpowered-ranger-who-gets-to-ride-a-griffon-from-level-1-3.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Owlcat)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There&#8217;s this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-first-act-of-this-impenetrable-rpg-was-so-good-i-didnt-mind-playing-through-it-three-times\/\" target=\"_blank\">knockout early fight<\/a> where you have to defend a courtyard from enemies streaming in from multiple directions\u2060\u2014it&#8217;s simultaneously an amazing tactical set piece, and also a potential exercise in frustration. <\/p>\n<p>Where previous playthroughs saw me struggling to keep up with each new wave, my Sable Company Marine was just zig-zagging back and forth across the battlefield, turning dudes into pink mist. The capstone was an aerial charge against the minotaur boss who comes in with the last wave. I scored a critical hit worth 232 damage\u2060\u2014he only had 70 hit points total.<\/p>\n<p>This is the strongest I&#8217;ve felt in WotR, and that&#8217;s even with things bumped up to the Rules Lawyer+ &#8220;Core&#8221; difficulty.
