Best party partners
Slot Solar Mau beside a Pal that covers the Water 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 Solar Mau
Open from behind for the backstab multiplier, keep its Cross Slash, Ice Shard, Umbral Lance, Aqua Burst on cooldown by circling, and use the /damage calculator to confirm your weapon clears its 136 DEF before you commit ammo.
PvP notes
Solar Mau is a real PvP pick: its speed of 129 lets it trade first and disengage. Ranked lobbies punish single-element teams, so never stack two Water Pals.
Boss and raid use
Against tower and raid bosses, Solar Mau 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.
