Best party partners

Slot Bastigor beside a Pal that covers the Ice weakness chart at /elements, so a single swap answers whatever resists you. Keep one flyer for traversal and one Handiwork Pal for field crafting alongside it.

How to fight a wild Bastigor

Open from behind for the backstab multiplier, keep its Stone Cannon, Iceberg, Rockburst, Crystal Wing on cooldown by circling, and use the /damage calculator to confirm your weapon clears its 120 DEF before you commit ammo.

PvP notes

Bastigor is a real PvP pick: its speed of 100 lets it trade first and disengage. Ranked lobbies punish single-element teams, so never stack two Ice Pals.

Boss and raid use

Against tower and raid bosses, Bastigor performs best with a same-type damage move plus a shield-breaking partner. Check the raid rotation notes on /guides before committing a full team.
