Top three Pals

1st Sekhmet, 2nd Solenne, 3rd Chillet. Chillet's finish isn't a surprise; it's one of the most-used early mounts in the game. Look any of them up in the /pals database.

Top three characters

1st Zoe, 2nd Auri, 3rd Saya. Zoe has been a fan favorite since early access.

More votes than last year

Pocketpair said the 2026 poll drew more votes than the previous one, with full rankings and per-language results on the official poll site.

Why it matters

Poll winners tend to show up in merchandise, promo art and events. It's a decent hint at which Pals Pocketpair will feature next.

Announced alongside Side by Side

The poll results and the Side by Side announcement came in the same post, which is why the two are usually reported together.
