Riding changes everything
A mount turns a long walk into a short ride. Some Pals fly, letting you skip terrain that would eat your stamina.
Match the biome
Flying helps over open ground; a sturdy ground mount is safer where ambushes hide. Pick by where you spend time.
Combat while mounted
Many mounts let you attack from the saddle. A riding Pal that also covers the enemy element is a force multiplier.
Catch the right one
The Pal database shows partner skills. Target a mount early so exploration stops being a march.
Size and speed
Big mounts carry more but move slower. Small ones dart through tight caves where heavy Pals cannot fit.
Gear the rider
The weapon database has guns you fire while riding. Bring one that suits your mount’s role.
Train the bond
A mounted Pal levels as you ride. The more you travel together, the stronger the pair becomes.
Land on high ground
Dismount on a ridge and you keep the height. A mount is also a way to seize the better position.
