Who are your companions? Do you switch during gameplay?

I’m currently in act 3 and remain using Shadowheart, Lae’zel and Astarion.

Anyone else uses other companions?

Edit: by the way, my main character is a Monk named Jef :)

I'm playing a lore bard with thief skills. I started with Shadowheart, Gale, and Lae'zel, but Karlach made me smile so much that I swapped her in as our tank.

We've been a pretty effective party through the first two acts on the balanced difficulty setting. Locks, traps, and persuasion checks are a breeze. Three fights between long rests is typical, and we barely touch consumables.

I might spend more time optimizing builds on my second play-through, which I expect will be in tactician mode.
