Companions in Shindo Life share the experience you earn from missions, but only when they are actively summoned during the fight. The quickest way to raise a companion’s level is to run green scroll missions and let the companion be present when the objective completes. Done correctly, a single mission can push a companion from Level 1 into the high hundreds.
Quick answer: Equip a companion, accept a green scroll mission, summon the companion so it takes part in the fight, then finish the required kills. When the mission completes, your companion gains a large chunk of levels alongside your character.
How companion leveling works in Shindo Life
A companion does not gain experience from standing idle or from you hitting a training log. It levels up when it is summoned and participates in a completed mission. Green scroll missions are the reliable source for this, and orange scroll missions work the same way. The moment the mission’s kill count is met, both your character and any summoned companion receive the reward.
The gains scale with the mission, not with how many blows the companion lands. That is why a companion that is only present for the final kill can still jump dozens or even hundreds of levels at once. In practice, players have taken a Level 1 companion to nearly Level 300 from a single green scroll mission.
The maximum companion level is 1000. Once a companion reaches that cap, further mission completions no longer raise it.
Turn on permanent 2x XP first
Before grinding, set up the free experience multiplier that never expires. Joining the developer’s two Roblox groups grants a permanent 2x XP bonus inside Shindo Life, which roughly halves every grind, including the mission runs that feed your companion.
Level up your companion with green scroll missions
This is the core loop. Work through it once and repeat it as many times as you like, since each completed mission feeds your companion more levels.
Keep your companion from dying mid-mission
A low-level companion can be killed quickly by the mission enemies, and a defeated companion cannot collect the reward. There are two ways to keep it alive long enough to count.
The safest approach is to summon the companion just before the final blow, so it is present at completion without spending long in the fight. If you want to let it participate more, summon it early but be ready to jump in and finish the enemies yourself with your own high-damage abilities the moment it starts to fall.
Tip: Do not accept missions you cannot clear. It is better to skip a mission than to lose the companion before the objective completes.
Grind alongside your rank-ups
The most efficient way to max a companion is to fold this loop into your normal leveling. Run green scroll missions every time you rank up your character, and the companion climbs steadily toward its cap while you progress. Building your character’s damage helps here too, since clearing enemies faster means finishing missions faster.

How to confirm the level actually applied
You know the method worked when you re-summon the companion after a completed mission and its level display has increased. If the number has not moved, the most common reasons are that the companion was not summoned during the fight, or it was defeated before the objective count was reached. In both cases the companion misses the reward, so summon it while the fight is still active and keep it alive until the mission finishes.
