Starting the game you will encounter different pals that look like chickens and sheep's, bout great to keep in base but for fighting is a different story.
Other pal you will find once you start is a fire fox name Foxparks and this will carry you until mid game, level 30 and even further if you invest in the right passive skills.
What makes Foxparks the best starter
Aside from the higher damage then the other starting pals his skill is one of the best in the game and allows you to use it as a flamethrower, and you only need to be level 6 to unlock it on the Technology page.
This will make raids very easy, and the Penking boss a easy task, and this boss will be very important to your base in early game.
Smart AI, because this game is new, some pals will stop fighting for no reason sometimes, and that never happens with Foxparks, making it extra reliable.
This bug can happen more if you play on a low specs machine.
Easy to catch and find, makes condensing them for extra power in your main foxparks a easy task.
But before condensing, watch the passive skills they have this can be a great damage bonus that you can combine using breeding.
The best 4 passive skills to have
Ferocious - 20% attack
Musclehead - 30% attack
Brave - 10% attack
Pyromaniac - 10% fire dmg
You still have better skills like flame emperor, lucky and legend but that's hard to get and not worth your time, the other 4 will give you a great bonus of 70% damage making it a very strong pal to carry you very far in the game.
Enhance your Pal Stats with Statue of Power
During your exploration you will find pal souls this can be used in the statue of power to upgrade your pal, use it in the attack state.
If you breed a Foxparks with 2,3 good passive skills and upgrade the damage in the statue you will have a great time killing bosses, hope this helps you enjoy the game!
