Beyond the five towers, the world is full of Alpha Pals (field bosses) and there are summonable raid bosses for endgame gear. Knowing what each type demands — and how to fight the two-health-bar tower bosses — keeps you from wasting a run.
Boss types
🗼 Tower Bosses
The five Syndicate fights that gate progression — a human plus a giant Pal, with a strict time limit.
🐾 Alpha Pals
Oversized wild Pals dotted across the map; beat and capture them for strong, high-level team members.
💥 Raid Bosses
Summon Bellanoir (and her stronger Libero form) at a Summoning Altar for rare materials and schematics.
Beating tower bosses
- Bring the counter element and a ranged weapon — you'll out-damage the boss Pal while dodging.
- There's a time limit; don't over-dodge, and keep your active Pal attacking constantly.
- Strafe around the giant Pal's telegraphed slams and AoE; use pillars and terrain for cover.
- Pack healing items and a shield — a single big hit can end an under-geared run.
Alphas & raids
- Alpha Pals hit hard but can be captured — weaken and sphere them for an instant power upgrade.
- Raid bosses scale for co-op; bring several strong, condensed Pals and stock ammo.
- Farm raids for the best schematics and materials once you're at the level cap.
- Match your team's element to the target and swap Pals mid-fight as needed.
Notable Alpha Pals
🐺 Early Alphas
Rushoar, Chillet and Direhowl are beatable early and make strong first team members.
🛠️ Anubis (desert)
A must-catch Alpha — the best Handiwork Pal in the game and a top Ground fighter.
🐉 Endgame Alphas
Blazamut and other high-level Alphas drop big XP and rare materials once you can handle them.
