Best party partners

Slot Selyne Nyx 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 Selyne Nyx

Open from behind for the backstab multiplier, keep its Ice Shard, Shadow Ball, Solar Beam, Rock Blast on cooldown by circling, and use the /damage calculator to confirm your weapon clears its 144 DEF before you commit ammo.

PvP notes

Selyne Nyx is a niche PvP pick — bring it for the Frost Coat partner skill rather than raw stats. Ranked lobbies punish single-element teams, so never stack two Ice Pals.

Boss and raid use

Against tower and raid bosses, Selyne Nyx 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.
