Pals with unique element-switching mechanics and pals whose weight increases with size
Element switch pals
Some pals can switch their elemental type through specific mechanics such as fusion, breeding, or special items. This changes their element, weaknesses, and resistances, opening up new combat strategies.
| Pal | Original element | Switched element | Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frostallion Noct | Ice | Dark | Fusion (Frostallion + Dark pal) |
| Suzaku Aqua | Fire | Water | Fusion (Suzaku + Water pal) |
| Relaxaurus Lux | Dragon | Electric | Fusion (Relaxaurus + Electric pal) |
| Jormuntide Ignis | Water | Fire | Fusion (Jormuntide + Fire pal) |
| Astegon | Dragon | Dark | Fusion variant |
Weight increase pals
Some pals have a weight that increases based on their size or Alpha status. A heavier pal affects mount carry capacity, base transport workload, and certain partner skills that scale with weight.
| Pal | Normal weight | Increased weight | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lunaris | Medium | Heavy (Alpha) | Higher transport efficiency |
| Broncherry | Heavy | Very heavy (Alpha) | Increased carry capacity as mount |
| Mammorest | Very heavy | Ultra heavy (Alpha) | Stronger ground slam partner skill |
| Warsect | Heavy | Very heavy (Alpha) | Higher defense scaling with weight |
| Kingpaca | Heavy | Very heavy (Alpha) | Increased carry capacity |
