Key takeaways
  • Best party partners
  • How to fight a wild Panthalus
  • PvP notes
  • Boss and raid use

Best party partners

Slot Panthalus beside a Pal that covers the Dragon 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 Panthalus

Open from behind for the backstab multiplier, keep its Dragon Breath, Shadow Ball, Blizzard Spike, Volt Cannon on cooldown by circling, and use the /damage calculator to confirm your weapon clears its 189 DEF before you commit ammo.

PvP notes

Panthalus is a real PvP pick: its speed of 119 lets it trade first and disengage. Ranked lobbies punish single-element teams, so never stack two Dragon Pals.

Boss and raid use

Against tower and raid bosses, Panthalus 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.
