Tier	Pal

Instead of using a Glider, some Pals can be used instead as a replacement! Galeclaw is the fastest glider Pal in addition to its ability to enable weapon usage while gliding.

While both Hangyu and Hangyu Cryst suffer from extremely slow gliding speeds, they have the unique ability of lifting the player in the air before gliding down, making them viable options to reach high locations.

Best Glider Pals Based on Game Progress

Early to Mid Game	Celaray Pal Gear Unlock: Lv. 7	Killamari Pal Gear Unlock: Lv. 9
Late Game	Hangyu Pal Gear Unlock: Lv. 20	Hangyu Cryst Pal Gear Unlock: Lv. 31
	Galeclaw Pal Gear Unlock: Lv. 23

Celaray is easily captured in the earlier parts of the game and will be a great quality-of-life improvement compared to the earlier craftable gliders.

Once you've leveled up and progressed, you can replace Celaray with Galeclaw, the fastest glider Pal available. Though you can acquire fast flying mounts at the game's later stages, Galeclaw can still be helpful as a quick option to go around dungeons or your bases.

Hangyu and Hangyu Cryst both serve a niche purpose of lifting the player briefly when gliding. This vertical boost can be chained together to reach high locations. Additionally, if you can maintain your momentum from sliding or grappling, these Pals can lift you higher and move at incredible speeds!

Criteria for Tier Placings

The following are the criteria to be met when ranking Pals for Gliding.

Tier	Criteria
	These Pals are some of the fastest Pals you can get in the game in their respective category and are the cream of the crop compared to other glider Pals.
	Pals in A Tier are often the best to use in the later part of the game but are usually outclassed by Pals in the SS and S Tier, or they can serve a niche purpose that other Pals can't
	B Tier Pals are upgrades to the C Tier Pals but will fall off for end-game purposes.

Glider Pals With Additional Effects

Increased Vertical Altitude

Hangyu and Hangyu Cryst have a bonus of giving you an extra elevation boost when you're using them to glide! This should make these Pals valuable if you have yet to obtain a flying mount Pal.

If you can maintain your momentum from sliding or grappling, these Pals can lift you higher and move at incredible speeds!

Floats at the Same Altitude

Killamari floats at the same altitude breifly when it's deployed as a glider before it starts falling. While slower than Celaray, Killamari can travel further thanks to its ability.

All Controls and How to Change

How to Get the Best Glider Pals

Upgrade Partner Skill to Increase Gliding Speed

To further improve your Pal's gliding abilities, upgrade their Partner Skill from the Pal Essence Condenser by sacrificing other Pals of the same species.

Each Partner Skill upgrade increases the gliding speed, as well as decreasing the stamina consumption for each glider Pal.

Note that the Pal's movement speed does not affect its gliding speed. Therefore, Passive Skills such as Swift or Runner would not increase the gliding speed.
