Some Pals massively outperform others. These are the picks worth chasing for combat, for base automation, and for travel — plus how to actually get the standouts.
Best combat Pals
🚀 Jetragon
Dragon · elite damage and the fastest aerial mount — the endgame all-star.
❄️ Frostallion
Ice · huge damage and buffs your other Ice Pals.
🌑 Necromus / Paladius
Dark / Neutral · hard-hitting mounted knights with strong ranged skills.
🐺 Anubis
Ground · fast, aggressive and one of the best all-round fighters (and workers).
⚡ Orserk
Dragon/Electric · devastating ranged lightning attacks.
🐲 Blazamut / Shadowbeak
Heavy hitters for raids and the final tower — high HP and burst.
Best work Pals
🛠️ Anubis
The best Handiwork Pal in the game — sky-high crafting speed.
⛏️ Digtoise
The go-to miner; parks on ore and drills nonstop.
🔥 Jormuntide Ignis
Top-tier Kindling for furnaces and smelting.
🔌 Beakon / Orserk
High-level Electricity for power generators.
🧊 Cryolinx
Strong Cooling for refrigerators and cake.
💧 Penking / Vanwyrm
Reliable Watering and Transporting to keep production flowing.
Best mounts
🐉 Jetragon
The fastest flyer — endgame travel solved.
🦅 Nitewing
A reliable, easy early-game flying mount.
🐴 Necromus
A blisteringly fast ground mount with a dash.
🐕 Direhowl
A great early ground mount you can tame quickly.
How to get the standouts
- Anubis: breed toward it or catch the Alpha in the desert — worth it for Handiwork alone.
- Jetragon, Frostallion, Paladius/Necromus: catch them as world Legendaries (see the Legendary Pals tracker).
- Condense duplicates and breed for the Legend, Musclehead or Ferocious passives to push damage.
- Digtoise and Jormuntide Ignis transform base output — prioritise them for automation.
A solid all-round team
- Anubis — top Handiwork at base and a strong Ground fighter in the field.
- A flyer (Nitewing early, Jetragon late) for travel and aerial damage.
- Digtoise and Jormuntide Ignis to automate mining and smelting.
- One counter-element bruiser per tower — swap it in for that specific fight.
