Palworld Best Pals Tier List

S Tier Combat Pal

Selyne has solid HP, Attack, and Defense, but its typing isn't the best defensively. However, it makes up for it by having a great Partner Skill that boosts the damage of its Fire and Dark attacks.

S Tier Base Worker Pal

Selyne is an excellent base worker thanks to having multiple high-level Work Suitabilities. It also doesn't need to have its work tasks restricted since it will only perform Handiwork and Medicine Production tasks if you queue it up yourself.

The only downside is that it has a slow transporting speed, but it shouldn't matter since you'd want a few extra Pals dedicated to transporting items anyways.

D Tier Ride Mount

Sadly, Selyne is an incredibly slow Pal regardless of whether it's in the air or on the ground. Not even its ability to fly can bump it up into the C-Tier.

Selyne's Partner Skill is Celestial Darkness. This is a powerful Partner Skill that boosts Selyne's Fire and Dark attacks whenever she's been mounted. Just be careful since Selyne's very slow and can be easily hit by attacks.

Selyne Best Active Skills

Moonlight Beam	One of Selyne's signature skills. A powerful 170 Power Neutral-type attack that fires a beam of energy at enemies.
Dark Laser	The strongest Dark-type move that it can learn via a Skill Fruit. You can replace this with any other Dark-type move if you wish.
Fire Ball	The strongest Fire-type move that it can learn with a Skill Fruit. Used over Ice or Dragon attacks to make use of Selyne's Partner Skill.

Selyne Best Passive Skills

Musclehead	Ferocious
Hooligan	Serenity

All 4 passives combined give Selyne a +75% Attack boost, while Serenity also gives a -30% Active Skill Cooldown buff. Do note that you'll also have -60% Work Speed, but it doesn't matter since this isn't a Base Worker build.

Alternatively, you could also use Swift instead of Hooligan to help improve Selyne's horrible Movement Speed by +30%.

Cannot Pass Down Certain Passives Through Breeding

Do note that Selyne can only be hatch from Eggs that come from 2 Selynes breeding together. This means that it cannot get certain exclusive passives through breeding, like Legend.

How to Use Selyne Effectively

Stay Mounted on Selyne

To maximize Selyne's damage output, you'll always want to stay mounted on it when possible. This way, it will always get a damage boost to its Fire and Dark attacks.

As mentioned, just be careful not to get hit by attacks since Selyne is a very slow Pal.

Avoid Dark and Dragon Pals

Due to its typing, Selyne is weak to both Dark and Dragon attacks. Avoid Pals with these typings since it's hard to cover for both of these type matchups with only 3 active skills.

Counters for Selyne

Use Water, Dragon, or Dark Pals

In most scenarios, Selyne will have a moveset consisting of a Fire, Dark, and Normal attack to fully benefit from its typing and Partner Skill. This means you'll want to bring Water, Dragon, and Dark-type Pals against it so that you can resist those three attack types respectively.

Always Use a Dragon or Dark-Type Pal

As much as possible, always bring a Dragon or Dark-type Pal against Selyne. This is because they're both super-effective and resistant to Selyne's Dark and Normal-typing respectively.

Best Pals to Counter Selyne

Selyne's Partner Skill is Celestial Darkness. Unfortunately, this isn't useful when they're used as a Base Worker since the Partner Skill is geared more towards buffing their damage while they're your active Pal in combat.

As for its Work Suitabilities, it has 3 Levels in Handiwork, Medicine, and Transporting. This makes it a more balanced version of Bellanoir and Bellanoir Libero, which is great since it can swap between work tasks depending on your Base's needs.

Selyne Best Passive Skills

Artisan	Work Slave
Serious	Conceited

These 4 Passives will give Selyne a +110% Work Speed boost to help it quickly craft items or medicine. The only downside is that it will also get a -30% Attack and -10% Defense Drop, making it worse at defending the base.

Pass Down Passive Skills Through Breeding

Parent 1		Parent 2		Child
Selyne	＋	Selyne	＝	Selyne

Some skills are exclusive to certain Pals, making the only way to get it on Selyne is to pass it down via breeding.

Unfortunately, Selyne can only be hatched from Eggs that come from 2 other Selyne's, meaning it cannot get exclusive skills like Legend or Divine Dragon for example.

Selyne Best Active Skills

Dark Arrow	The best Dark-type move that it naturally learns. Replace it with a better Dark move using a Skill Fruit if you wish.
Seigetsu Blade	One of Selyne's exclusive skills that does Neutral-type damage. You can replace this skill with a different one if you wish.
Moonlight Beam	The strongest skill that Selyne naturally learns. Fires a large Neutral-type beam that hits a lot of enemies.

Do note that if you have raids turned off in the world settings, then active skills don't matter for Selyne's best base build.
