Combat stack
Legend (+20% attack and defence, legendary-only), Musclehead (+30% attack, −50% work speed), Ferocious (+20% attack) and Burly Body (+20% defence) form the standard damage stack for raid Pals.
Mount stack
Swift (+30% movement), Runner (+20% movement), Nimble (+10% movement) and Legend stack multiplicatively on flying mounts — the difference between a 1,200 and a 1,900 effective flight speed.
Worker stack
Artisan (+50% work speed), Serious (+20% work speed), Lucky (+15% attack and work speed) and Workaholic (slower SAN drain) keep base Pals productive without constant Hot Spring rotations.
Passives to strip
Brittle, Clumsy, Pacifist, Coward and Slacker are negative passives — reroll them out before you commit to a line, because they occupy one of the four permanent slots.
