How party bonuses work
- "While in party" skills work from any of your five party slots, even if the Pal isn't out fighting. "While fighting together" skills need the Pal out with you, and "while mounted" skills need you riding it.
- The numbers grow with condensing. We write them as level 1 to four stars, like "40–80%". Condense the Pal whose skill your team depends on first.
- "(Does not stack)" means two copies of the same skill don't add up. Different Pals with similar skills are a different story; where players tested that, we say so.
Fighting, raids and bosses
You do the damage: player weapon build
- SolenneCoreBig player Attack boost if all five Pals are different species.Untainted Maiden: While in party, increases the player's Attack by 30–80% if all Pals in party are different species. (Does not stack)
- Vanwyrm CrystMore weak-point damage.Aerial Marauder: Can be ridden as a flying mount. While in party, increases damage player deals to enemy weak points by 30–50%. (Does not stack)
- Cryolinx TerraYour next weak-point hit after one lands hits harder.Explosive Strength: While in party, when attacking enemy weak point, increases the power of the next weak point attack by 30–60%. (Does not stack)
- FrostallionMountIce attacks while riding, good against Dragon bosses.Icy Steed: Can be ridden as a flying mount. While mounted, changes the player's attack type to Ice, inflict Freeze 2–6, increases Attack by 10–40%.
- Moldron CrystEven more Ice weak-point damage.Ice Overload: Can be ridden. While in party, improves player's and Pals' Ice damage to enemy weak points by 25–40%. (Does not stack)
For bows swap in Robinquill; for energy weapons Xenogard. Put Vanguard on the support Pals: in the game's words "10% increase in Player Attack" each.
Player reports: one player hit Panthalus for 8,000–12,000 per Charge Rifle headshot with both Vanwyrms, Solenne and Cryolinx Terra. Before Solenne, a stack of four Gobfin is the classic easy build (each adds 10–20% player Attack, and the game doesn't mark it "does not stack"). An August thread with 1,844 votes compared the two; Solenne needs every species to be different.
Your Pal does the damage
- Bellanoir LiberoCarryA huge activated attack.Nightmare Stare: When activated, attacks targeted enemy with Nightmare Bloom. When this Pal uses Nightmare Bloom, it has a ×1.1–2.5 damage multiplier.

Raid bosses: match the boss's weakness first (Ice attackers for Xenolord, Dark for Hartalis), give each fighter a short-cooldown attack next to its big one, and build the raid team at its own base. Raid slabs are in the endgame guide.

These Pals turn your own attacks into their element, and boost your Attack too. Ride the mounted ones to keep it on.

From each Pal's partner skill (1.0.5).
More loot from every kill
These partner skills make Pals of one element drop more items when you defeat them: 40–80% more each. A booster works when the defeated Pal has its element, so a two-element target can be covered by two boosters.
Two ready-made loot parties for the World Tree are in the World Tree farming guide. For Pal Souls, add Nitemary: "Pals drop +100–200% more Pal Souls when defeated" while it fights with you.

Player report (August, v1.0.3): a popular test took one Pal from Lv 1 to 80 in one fight with four max-condensed Omascul, the Growth Acceleration Bell and food. The game marks Omascul's EXP skill "Does not stack", and replies in the same thread got slower results, so test it in your own world first.
Passive picks by role
| Role | Four passives to start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| General combat Pal |
| A safe start for any Pal that does the fighting. |
| One-element damage |
| Swap the element passive to match what the Pal actually casts: Siren of the Void for Dark and Ice, Eternal Flame for Fire and Electric. |
| Glass cannon |
| Twin-Edged Holy Blade costs Defense. Only for fights the Pal survives anyway. |
| Ride-and-shoot mount |
| Steady, long-lasting and fast. Swap the last slot for defense if it keeps going down. |
| Bench Pal for your damage |
| These two boost you, the player, even from the party bench. Fill the other slots to suit the Pal. |
| Flying or land travel |
| The three speed passives plus more stamina for long rides. |
| Water travel |
| Swim speed first. Keep salvage bonuses on Jellroy, not the mount. |
