S-Tier Mounts
Jetragon — the definitive flying mount. While mounted it rapidly fires a missile launcher, making it both the fastest travel option and a mobile weapons platform.
Frostallion — changes your attack type to Ice and enhances Ice attacks while flying. Ideal for farming Fire-weak bosses and Alpha Pals.
Paladius — the only ground mount with triple jump, giving unmatched vertical mobility for cliff-heavy terrain.
A-Tier Mounts
Frostallion Noct — Dark-element attack conversion on a flying frame.
Hartalis — generates a barrier that blocks all attacks while mounted, and can also triple jump.
Blazamut Ryu — enhances Dragon attacks while mounted; excellent for Dragon-weak targets.
Aegidron — while in your party, the player and party Pals take 60% less damage from explosive attacks — the best defensive pick for missile-heavy enemies.
How to Choose
- Travel: Jetragon or any flying mount beats every ground mount for crossing the map.
- Boss farming: pick the element that counters the boss — Frostallion (Ice) for Fire bosses, Blazamut Ryu (Dragon) for Dragon bosses.
- Survival: Hartalis or Aegidron for high-level dungeons and dangerous zones.
