Master the ultimate Palworld combat squad with legendary Pals like Bellanoir Libero and Anubis to conquer formidable raid bosses and dominate the evolved landscape.
As I logged back into Palworld in 2026, the world had grown. The Feybreak update was no longer new; it was a foundational part of the landscape, and the arrival of raid bosses had fundamentally shifted how I approached the game. No longer was it just about catching 'em all and building a cozy base. The new threats demanded a new philosophy: raw, uncompromising combat power. My old team, a hodgepodge of cute workhorses and early-game bruisers, felt as outdated as a stone pickaxe. It was time to scour the Palpagos Islands, face the legends, and forge the ultimate fighting squad. This is the story of my quest and the titans I recruited, Pal by Pal, to stand against the fiercest foes the world could throw at us.
My search began with legends whispered about in the digital taverns of the internet. The first name that kept surfacing was Bellanoir Libero. I tracked this formidable Dark-type Dungeon Boss to her lair, a place where shadows seemed to have physical weight. Catching her was a battle that felt less like a fight and more like weathering a supernatural storm. Her power wasn't in overwhelming health or defense, but in the sheer, focused intensity of her Base Attack level of 150. Every one of her terrifying Shot attacks, from the chaotic Flame Waltz to the devastating Nightmare Bloom, felt like being pierced by a lance of solidified darkness. She was my first lesson: power doesn't need to be bulky; it can be as precise and relentless as a scalpel carving through fate. Her Siren of the Void passive, boosting both her Dark and Ice damage, gave her a versatility I would come to rely on.
Next, I sought a cornerstone, a Pal with the work ethic of a master craftsman and the heart of a gladiator. That Pal was Anubis. Finding him felt like uncovering a relic from a lost civilization. While his fame stemmed from his legendary Level 4 Handiwork, I was drawn to his combat potential. With a robust 120 Health and a balanced 130 in both Melee and Base Attack, he was a fortress that could also throw a punch. Watching him unleash Rock Lance, a 150-power move that left enemies caked in mud and vulnerable, was like watching a master sculptor suddenly reveal they were also a champion boxer—the transition was seamless and devastating. His Guardian of the Desert partner skill transformed my own attacks, making me feel like an extension of his earthy power, a crucial asset when facing the electric fury of tower bosses.
The sky called next. Every veteran spoke of Jetragon with a mix of awe and envy. Hunting this pure Dragon-type was a chase across continents, a test of endurance. When I finally managed to secure one in a sphere, I understood the hype. Its attack stat, hovering around 140, was fearsome, but its true genius was its speed. Mounting Jetragon for the first time was less like riding a creature and more like strapping myself to a living meteor; the world blurred into streaks of color. In combat, its Beam Comet attack was a spectacle of raw kinetic energy. Yet, for all its speed, Jetragon taught me that being the fastest arrow doesn't always make you the most enduring one.
This lesson was underscored by the arrival of the Feybreak Pals. Xenolord, a Dragon/Dark hybrid, became a fascinating counterpoint to Jetragon. While not as explosively fast, its stamina was a deep, unending well—nearly three times that of Jetragon—and its defenses were formidable. It was the difference between a sprinter and a marathon runner with armor. Its Omega Laser, a 200-power monstrosity that shredded everything in its path, felt like commanding a orbital satellite strike. The ability to mount it and use my own weaponry turned us into a single, terrifying aerial weapons platform.
The other standout from the new generation was Bastigor. Breeding a Frostallion with an Anubis to create this Ice-type titan felt like a divine act of synthesis. What emerged was a mountain of health, boasting a base of 140 HP. Its power was raw and elemental, with moves like Glacial Impact and Diamond Rain crashing down like avalanches of crystalline fury. The real surprise was crafting Bastigor's Hammer and mounting him. Swinging that colossal weapon myself, channeling his strength directly, made me feel less like a trainer and more like a warrior-god riding a glacier into battle. He was my immovable object, a bulwark against the hardest-hitting foes.
For pure, unadulterated defensive supremacy, I turned to the legendary knights. Paladius, with its peerless 145 Defense, was like trying to damage a mountain carved from diamond. It could weather any storm, and its triple-jump mobility made it surprisingly agile for a living fortress. However, it was Shadowbeak that captured my dark fantasy. This Dark-type flying mount had one of the most balanced and terrifying stat spreads I'd seen. With high HP, top-tier Attack, and a stellar 140 Defense, it was a nightmare that refused to die. Its Dark Laser and exclusive Divine Disaster moves cut through enemies, and its Modified DNA partner skill made our combined assaults a symphony of shadow.
Of course, a balanced team needs elemental specialists. To douse the flames of the mighty Fire Pals, I enlisted Jormuntide. This Water/Dragon serpent was a tidal wave of health (130 HP) and power (120 Base Attack). Seeing it unleash Hydro Laser or Dragon Meteor against a Blazamut was like watching an ancient sea god reclaim the land. Its dual-typing and access to moves like Tri-Lightning made it unpredictably versatile.
For the ultimate in balanced, legendary power, nothing could surpass Frostallion. This Ice-type was, quite simply, the statistical pinnacle of Palworld. 140 HP, 140 Base Attack, 120 Defense—it was a masterpiece of numbers. Riding it was a blend of blistering speed and overwhelming power. Its Ice Steed skill turned my own attacks into glacial lances, and moves like Blizzard Strike could freeze entire battles in their tracks. Frostallion wasn't just a Pal; it was the standard by which I measured all others.
And finally, for the raw, volcanic offense, there was Blazamut. This Fire-type was less of a Pal and more of a walking cataclysm. Its 125 Base Attack and shocking 150 Melee Attack meant it could incinerate you from a distance or pulverize you up close. Its Magma Kaiser skill, activated while mounted, made every encounter feel like we were erupting from the heart of a volcano. When Blazamut used Rock Lance or Fire Ball, it wasn't just an attack; it was a geological event.

Building this team was a journey of failure, triumph, and endless experimentation. I learned that the best combat squad isn't just a collection of the hardest hitters; it's a symphony of roles. You need your swift strikers like Jetragon, your immovable walls like Paladius, your elemental specialists like Jormuntide, and your versatile legends like Frostallion. With the addition of the incredibly durable and unique Feybreak Pals, Xenolord and Bastigor, my team in 2026 feels ready for anything—whether it's a towering Alpha, a relentless raid boss, or the next challenge this ever-evolving world decides to throw at us. The adventure never ends; it just finds new, more powerful forms.
