Slyphs are wartunes version of pets. And their BR adds to your own. There are different elements: Water (Iris, e.g. my WolfGirl), Air (Pan), Fire (Amazon Queen, e.g. my EvilLykos), Electic (Gaia, e.g. my PinkShadow), Light (Apollo) and Dark (HADES).

 

Slyphs fight beside you when you have called them and once your skills charged they can posess you and lend your character some extra strength. And while in this transformation you also gain skills. Like WolfGirl can heal, which makes her an exellent companion for Pep since knights cant heal otherwise
