Summoning assigned Bodyguards, what's the secret sauce
New player. Platform PS5.
One thing I am trying to understand is summoning, in particular followers/bodyguards.
I do have the following skills enabled:
- Call Followers
- Bodyguard upgrade
I believe these are the only pre-requsites?
I can successfully assign an allied captain as your bodyguard from the army screen.
I just can not seem to summon.
Both summoning icons remain gray (occasionally, and this in general, ie both caragon and followers/bodyguard, summoning icons will flash white, but the icons generally stay gray...even if I dominated a coragon).
I am assuming these icons being gray does not allow summoning while they are gray (only white)? They stay gray pretty much all the time.
I will press on the right directional of the d-pad and nothing despite the color of icons (different controllers). I don't think I have ever been successful to summon a bodyguard (or other dominated captains). Are they only able to be summoned during certain combat situations, versus just wanting one to by my side whenever, like walking around and just hang out?
Lots of videos out there re how to assign a body guard, and then it is 'just press the right button'. There are so many other 'more complicated' mechanics that work as I understand them.
Thoughts? What am I missing (other than not having a clue)?
