Palmon: Survival – Detailed Character Guide
Palmon: Survival is a unique monster-catching, base-building game where your journey depends heavily on mastering the creatures known as Palmon. Whether you want to optimize your homestead’s productivity, crush enemies in battle, or efficiently progress through exploration and survival content, understanding the distinct strengths of different Palmon is key.
This guide breaks down Palmon into three groups: combat specialists, resource gatherers, and hybrids, offering detailed explanations of their abilities, roles, and synergy potential. If you’re just getting started, we recommend also reading our beginner’s guide to Palmon: Survival to set up your gameplay foundation before building your ultimate Palmon roster.
Combat-Oriented Palmon
These Palmon shine in battle and should be prioritized when assembling your primary fighting squad.
-
Barkplug (UR, Electric)
A powerful electric-type Palmon that specializes in chain lightning attacks. Barkplug can hit multiple enemies at once, making it ideal for clearing groups of poachers or wild threats near your base. Its passive ability slightly increases movement speed, allowing your squad to reposition quickly in fights. Barkplug also performs well against water-type enemies due to elemental advantage.
-
Ninjump (UR, Water)
A melee-focused, high-speed assassin-type Palmon. Ninjump can quickly close the distance and eliminate weak targets before they pose a threat. It is perfect for picking off support enemies or disrupting enemy formations. Additionally, its evasion ability gives it survivability despite its low base defense.
-
Ghillant (UR, Earth)
The tanker of your combat team. Ghillant boasts extremely high health and defense, making it excellent at absorbing incoming attacks while your other Palmon deal damage. Its passive ability slightly increases the defense of all allied Palmon, offering a team-wide durability boost.
Resource-Gathering & Utility Palmon
These Palmons are best used for automating your homestead’s productivity. They free up your time while ensuring you have a steady stream of resources.
-
Baboom (SSR, Wood)
Specializes in logging and forestry work. Baboom increases the wood yield from trees and reduces the time needed to chop them down. It’s a must-have Palmon early in the game when wood is a primary construction resource.
-
Hoofrit (SSR, Earth)
Designed for mining efficiency. Hoofrit boosts ore extraction rates and slightly improves stone cutting speeds as well. This makes it valuable for maintaining a steady supply of ore for advanced buildings and crafting stations.
-
Lucidina (SSR, Water)
Lucidina thrives in crop maintenance and irrigation tasks. Assigning Lucidina to farm plots ensures crops remain hydrated and healthy, accelerating harvest cycles. It’s an indispensable companion for establishing food sustainability in your base.
-
Magmolin (SSR, Fire)
Optimizes furnace operations by reducing smelting times and increasing ore refinement efficiency. Magmolin works particularly well when paired with Hoofrit, creating a streamlined mining-and-smelting operation.
Hybrid Palmon (Balanced Use Cases)
Hybrid Palmon can perform well both in combat and in homestead tasks, providing flexible utility for players who want to minimize micromanagement.
-
Incineraptor (SSR, Fire)
A versatile Palmon capable of dishing out moderate AoE damage in combat while also improving furnace operations when assigned to work. Incineraptor is perfect for players seeking a fighter that can contribute meaningfully when not deployed.
-
Terrastudo (SSR, Earth)
Functions as a secondary tank in combat scenarios while doubling as a miner. Though it lacks the sheer defensive bulk of Ghillant, Terrastudo can hold its own in fights and provide valuable ore when working back at base.
-
Thunderclawd (SSR, Electric)
Excels at mid-range electric attacks in combat and power generation when assigned to workstations. Thunderclawd is particularly valuable when your base needs consistent energy output and a reliable electric attacker for your squad.
-
Dolphriend (SSR, Water)
While primarily used for logging and aquatic farming tasks, Dolphriend has a strong water-type combat skillset that lets it support your team in environments where water superiority is key.
Best Practices for Palmon Usage
- Assign specialized Palmon early to key homestead tasks—Baboom for logging, Hoofrit for mining, Lucidina for crops.
- Keep top-tier UR combat Palmon like Blazeal and Barkplug reserved for battle, as they are hard to replace in your squad.
- Breeding is key: Use the breeding station to selectively breed Palmon with ‘Best’ attributes to improve efficiency in both combat and resource tasks.
- Hybrid Palmon are best used as backups or filler workers when you’re short on specialized SSR/UR units.
Understanding which Palmon excel in combat, which shine as workers, and which provide hybrid flexibility will give you a huge advantage in Palmon: Survival. Tailor your squad based on the challenges ahead, automate your base intelligently, and breed superior Palmon to maximize both fighting power and productivity.
