• ✅ Tested three builds of Shadowbeak (Holy Disaster 1 & 2, Dark Wisp, Beam Slicer).
• ✅ Used Hydro Slicer, Beam Slicer, Dark Wisp combo for most Pals.
• ⚠️ Shadowbeak has a large hitbox and may require player assistance.

The Shadowbeak battle demonstrates some concepts seen in the Moon Lord raid. Pals with large hitboxes are vulnerable to area-of-effect attacks, and structure Pals can be targeted. Also, skills can miss due to the moving hands.

• ✅ Raid battles are tricky, and many skills can miss.
• ✅ Pals with large hitboxes are at a disadvantage, and movement speed and skill minimum/maximum range are important.
• ✅ If the player is at the base, the Pal will not tank the boss's beam attacks.

Party Pals can help with structures and provide basic support.

• ✅ Pals with large hitboxes are vulnerable to area-of-effect attacks.
• ✅ The minimum and maximum range of skills affects how close the Pal needs to move to use the skill.
• ✅ Movement speed affects how often the Pal moves from the Pal Box.

These factors greatly affect the efficiency of raid battles.

• ✅ Bastet is a good choice for most raid bosses.
• ✅ Has a thin hitbox, high attack power, and adequate durability.
• ⚠️ Vulnerable to burn beds due to Pal Pod changes.

Ice and Dark attributes are good, but Dark attribute performs slightly better in basic attacks. Not suitable for Slicer or Dark Wisp builds.

• ✅ Lyleen has poor accuracy but attacks hands well.
• ⚠️ Lyleen is fragile and falls often.
• ✅ Faleris performs well due to its small hitbox.
• ⚠️ Warsect struggles due to its large hitbox.

Faleris can attack from a distance using the Trigger Happy skill. Warsect puts a lot of strain on structure Pals.

• ✅ Necromus is good in theory, but tends to pile up under Moon Lord due to the minimum range of Dark Shot.
• ⚠️ Hydro Slicer and Beam Slicer may not hit properly.
• ✅ Good for attacking hands and head, but struggles in the final stage.

Herbal is fragile and dies often, putting a strain on structure Pals. Ice attacks may stop.

• ✅ Jormuntide performs very well in this battle.
• ✅ Water gun animation, correct positioning, and use of Lunker build bring good results.
• ✅ Jormuntide tends to attack the head first.

Jormuntide uses the same build as Necromus and Bastet, but performs better. Large Pals should attack the head first for efficiency.

• ✅ Placing Pal Pods behind Moon Lord can avoid beam attacks.
• ✅ Players are not targeted by beam attacks in Warsect raids if they are at the base.
• ✅ Lyleen has high attack power but is fragile.

Jormuntide processes the final stage faster, giving it an edge over other Pals. Jormuntide is the best raid Pal.
