We can't recommend Fantomon or Companions for the Sword x Staff Mage build, as this is a class you'll only be using in the early game. These features are unlocked later, and you'll already have changed classes.

The Sword x Staff Mage build now holds no secrets for you. It's an excellent class to start with. However, we'd advise you to do your own testing to find the play style that suits you best!
