Best party partners
Slot Storm Rayhound beside a Pal that covers the Neutral 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 Storm Rayhound
Open from behind for the backstab multiplier, keep its Rock Blast, Solar Beam, Solar Beam, Fireball on cooldown by circling, and use the /damage calculator to confirm your weapon clears its 53 DEF before you commit ammo.
PvP notes
Storm Rayhound is a niche PvP pick — bring it for the Steady Companion partner skill rather than raw stats. Ranked lobbies punish single-element teams, so never stack two Neutral Pals.
Boss and raid use
Against tower and raid bosses, Storm Rayhound 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.
