Companion Strategy and Chest Priority

Day 1: Open STRANDEDDEVS free chest immediately after how to redeem. Any Fisherman's tier roll beats no companion — equip best combat or sustain perk for your class.

Mid-game: Save Pearls for Warrior Chest when melee DPS needed (Swordfish chase) or Pirate Chest for gun builds (Parrot, Pirate Gunner). Magma Chest after Volcano Island unlock for Lava Snail.

Zookeeper players: every companion perk listed above gains +25% effectiveness — Frog hunger reduction becomes substantial; Swordfish melee bonus rivals extra weapon tier.

One companion slot only — do not hoard chests without opening. Inventory space and equip timing matter before Ghost Captain on Shipwreck Island per boss fights.
