While each Pal comes withPassive Skillsas well, Partner Skills requiremore active participationon your part; you will have to choose when to activate these abilities and how you want to use them.

This list is here to lay out which Partner Skills are the best in the game.
10Lifmunk Recoil
Lifmunk Using An SMG Can Shred Weaker Enemies
Why It’s Good
Lifmun’s Submachine Gun is probably going to be your first experience with a gun in the game, as itcan be unlockedat Level 11 rather than the typical Level 20 needed tocraft guns. As such, it can bea huge combat toolto use early in the game when you are still leveling up some and getting your bearings.
Lifmunks are also really prevalent at the start of the game and can be found not very far from the defaultstarting area. They’re usually pretty low level as well,making them easy to capture. And once you arm them with this weapon, they can shred opponents' health in no time. It’s not thestrongest gun in the game, but it’s effective — and hilarious.
9Fluffy Shield
Lamball Proves To Be A Worthy Shield
Lamball isone of the first Pals you will findin the game; like, the first image of the game has Lamball in it, peering down at you. And this Partner Skill is huge, especially early on, as it allows you touse Lamball as a shieldand absorb damage from any enemy.
Using Lamball’s Fluffy Shield is a great tool to have in a combat scenario, as you can use it toabsorb the damageof a Pal’s attack — and then when they’re done, you have an opening to make an attack of your own. This is crucial to staying alive and making it in the early game. It can also be incredibly helpful in thefirst boss fight.
8Cheery Rifle
Tanzee With A Gun Is As Effective As It Is Hilarious
Tanzee is a Pal that you will find fairly early on, but it will take some exploration on your part, unless you choose to start out in one of the more dangerous starting areas in the game. So catching one and unlocking this ability is going tobe fairly easyand won’t require a lot of time on your part.

The Cheery Rifle willgive your Tanzee an Assault Rifle, which it will use to start blasting away at your enemies. It does good damage, and Tanzee will aim at whomever it wants. Whereas an ability like Lifmunk’s requires you to aim for it, this one does it on its own, so you can focus on other things.
7Pengullet Cannon
Using Pengullet As A Missile Is Way Too Entertaining
Pengullet is more than just a useful Water type that you can have at your camp, as you can activate its Partner Skill to turn it into a rocket launcher. Well, turn it into a missile that you can then put into the launcher. Either way, the end result istoo entertaining to not love.
However, it does have utility as well and can dosome really good damageto whatever you are attacking. While it will reduce the Pengullet’s health to zero, it’s well worth it to take out an enemy or two with it, while also having a really good laugh.
6Eggbomb Launcher
Tocotoco Is An Excellent Grenade Launcher
Tocotoco is one of the funnier-looking Pals in the game, as it resembles that of the extinct Dodo. However, this bird is far more dangerous than it looks thanks to its Partner Skill. Having it jump into your arms tobecome a grenade launcheris a huge benefit to have.
The grenades won’t just do good damage; you can alsofire multiple in a row, making it easy to clean up groups of enemies in a short amount of time. This can be great for instances like running into some Syndicate Thugs who try to overwhelm you with their numbers.
5Antigravity
Lunaris Gives You A Boost To Carrying Capacity
Antigravity is not a combat skill, and truly just has one specific purpose:to increase your Carrying Capacitywhile Lunaris is in your Party.

No more walking at the speed of nothing when overweight.

Cawgnito Teleports Around The Battle
Using Cawgnito’s Telepeck ability can help in most combat scenarios, but especially when you are in a one-on-one kind of fight. When activated, Cawgnito teleports to the target enemy and deliversa powerful pecking attackthat can take a good chunk out of the enemy’s health pool.
It’s easy to use and Cawgnito willhandle everything itselfonce you activate the skill. It can be really useful for thehardest boss fightsin the game, as each of these only has one target for you to focus on.
3Caffeine Innoculation
Watch Depresso Zoom Around Like You’ve Never Seen
Depresso is one of the funniest Pals in the game because of its subdued demeanor, but it also comes with a great Partner Skill called Caffeine Innoculation. This skill gives Depresso amassive boost to its movement speedso that it can zip around a battle with ease.

2Huggy Fire
Foxparks Is A Great Flamethrower
Foxparks is a great Pal, and that cannot be understated. Using their abilities as soon as you can is a big recommendation, making itone of the best Pals to catch early. And this is largely due to their Fire skills, including their Huggy Fire.
In combat, you can use Foxparks asa literal flamethrowerto burn your enemies to ash in front of you, and it does pretty good damage. And this damage only goes up as Foxparks levels up and gets stronger. Even more, Huggy Fire is great to have access to at camp, as you can use it as a Kindling ability, even when the Oak usb;t assigned to your camp.
1Dream Chaser
Daedream Tags Along To Blast Opponents With Energy
Daedream is the best, and that’s a fact. This nighttime Pal is around from the very beginning, but it has some of the most useful abilities you can find in the game — especially Dream Chaser, which has yourDaedream following you around, blasting your enemies with huge balls of energy.
This Partner Skill is the top choice here, and not only because it’s flat-out powerful. It only requires you to have Daedream in your party, first of all, so it doesn’t even have to be active. Further, if you have more than one Daedream in your party, each one will be active and following you, turning you into apotent, mobile force of nature.
