Keepers (支炎獣, Chienjū) is an exclusive game mechanic in Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent.
Gameplay[]
Keepers are pets that can be asigned to a traveler. When assigned, the traveler becomes its master, allowing them to use their skills in battle.
Skills[]
A Keeper skill can be used an indefinite number of times in battle, but once used, an amount of turn must pass for the skill can be reused. The reuse turns vary depending of the keeper and their levels.
Even if there are multiple keepers in battle, only 1 skill can be used per turn.
Similar to the traveler's battle and EX Skills, some keeper's skills can be boosted by using the BP of its master.
Attributes[]
Keeper's attributes are added to the base attributes of their master.
Leveling[]
The player can raise a keeper's level, bond and attributes through emberfruits and battles (they gain exp like the travelers).
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Level | Enhances keeper's skill. |
| Bond | Rewards divine beast empowering items (only applies to the Ald Keepers). Increases keeper's attribute-boosting item use limit. |
| Attributes | Increases the attributes added to the master's, |
