Detailed guide

How these Pals were compared

This guide uses rarity 20 as the exact dataset boundary, then compares combat stats, mount speed, elements, and base suitability without inventing extra Legendary labels.

Because every legend has high raw values, the ranking focuses on role separation. Travel, offense, defense, and elemental coverage each produce a different best choice.

What to check before choosing

Do not stack the same role

Frostallion Noct, Necromus, Bellanoir, and Bellanoir Libero all lean into Dark offense. Use only the overlap your team can support, then add other elements.

Use base value as a tiebreaker

Neptilius offers Watering 7 and Frostallion offers Cooling 7. Those jobs can matter when two legends fill a similar party need.
