Why my kavat dies so much?

[JohnKable]

Since the release of the new eidolons, when i fight the gantulyst or hydro my kavat is constantly downed.

i use maxed link mods and at least 1 survivability mod on my warfame so atleast one stat is seriously boosted.

i move to avoid attacks for myself and i run away only if there isnt an harrow in team. In general i dont se myself moving differently from others. Usually i play trinity and try to keep up the blessing all the time.

and he still dies, at least twice more than the other kavats.

what am i doing wrong? Sure if i go chroma he has much beefier stats and becomes very rare to see him dying but i still think its impossible that he dies that much when using other frames even with permanent 75% damage reduction

make sure your kavat has link health, link shield and link armor to make kavat stay alive bit longer, my kavat dies on 1st death doing 20min-1hr survival mission but thats only depend on frame you use, like frost or valkyr my kavat will have twice more health than shield but you also need medi-pet kit mod to keep up kavat health regen over time.

Link Health, Link Shield, and usually Link Armor are very important for any Pet.
Pack Leader and/or the Hunter Set Mod for Healing is also critical. you must have atleast one of these. Medi-Pet Kit can also be quite nice to have.

with Pack Leader or the other Mod Equipped, just Melee a Vomvalyst periodically and it will probably never die.

I have the 3 link mods maxed. The problem is against the big eidolons, he dies like 5 times per triple hunt.

usually under spacebeams of gantulyst, but finds a way to die even against hydrolist.

yeah, for raids or eidolon hunts, the companions tend to die a lot....

Yeh i stopped using them a long time ago for that reason.

but since its kinda mandatory for eidolons i just want to figure out why mine dies more than the others

I don't wanna be that guy, but for bosses or high damaging enemies, i personally always go for sentinels, cause picking pets up is by far the most annoying thing in a pressuring situation.

if you gonna use kavat against those guys... well there's no way pet will stay alive from those beams attack i won't use them but sentinel but having kavat is just gives me luck using charm.

I personally pair kavats/ kubrows with Valkyr, Inaros and Nidus for the high armor and health link. They also recover a bit of health when I use Valkyrs' Hysteria and Inaros' Desiccation, Nidus' Larva makes it easy for the compassion's to recover health quickly with the Pack Leader mod equipped. Despite everything though they still have a hard time against a teralyst, best to use a sentinel paired with atterax to slow the peripheral enemies swarming you. Hope this is helpfull. Tenno unite!
