There are many ways to get around inPalworld, most of them involving Pals; you ride them to go over land, water, and even the skies. To complement all these movement options, you can build gliders, letting you jump off your flying mounts and descend gracefully to the ground.
But you don’t have to build a glider at all, since there are a few Pals that can fit that role for you. As long as you have them on your team, they will replace your glider and even give you some additional bonuses that can’t be achieved by any item.
4Celaray
Barely An Improvement
Celaray will likely be the first Pal you capture with the gliding ability, and as such, it isn’t much of an improvement, at least when compared to other Palsor even later gliders. It does have more stamina and air time than the basic glider, and since you can catch it fairly early, you can save on materials and technology points by simply using this Pal.
If you have more than one Pal with a gliding ability in your party, the one that will actually be used as a glider will be whichever you have on top.
Celaray uses less stamina than other Pals, but that’s barely an improvement at later stages of the game, particularly if you use your glider wisely. If you are falling from great heights, it’s better to open and close the glider as you go down, or at least only open it when you are close to the floor.
3Killamari
Beating Celaray In Every Way
Killamari isn’t all that rarer than Celaray, the difference being that it only spawns at night. Knowing this, if you want a Pal that can work as an average glider, Killamari is a better choice than Celaray since it performs better in every way.
You wouldn’t know this byreading their descriptions in the Paldecksince it makes them sound similar, only that Celaray is faster. After some internal testing, the opposite is true; Killamari glides further and faster, and if Celaray consumes less stamina, it is barely noticeable.
With how easy they are to capture, Killamari should be your go-to glider for most of the early game, particularly in the moments when you’re without a flying mount. At higher levels, it might be a tall order to take up one party slot for just the glider role, and while Killamari might not make the cut, the next few entries certainly will.
2Hangyu
Rises Over The Competition
Hangyu works differently than all other glider options since it first pulls you upwards before gliding down. While this might seem like a small detail and even counterproductive to the purpose of going down, it opens a few avenues of traversal that end up being way faster than climbing or evengrappling hooks.
This is because Hangyu makes you go up about two floors' worth of altitude, letting you reach all kinds of out-of-reach places or even making it easier to go around your base. If you’re trying to reach the top of a mountain, but your flying mount is out of stamina, you’re able to dismount and use Hangyu to cover the last stretch.
Hangyu Cryst has the same gliding abilities as the regular Hangyu variant.
For base management, Hangyu makes multi-floored buildings easier to use, particularly if you place important crafting tables on the ceiling. While that makes for an unorthodox base composition, with Hangyu, you can easily get to what you need and let your creativity fly when designing your home.
1Galeclaw
The Combat Master
When designing your party for the endgame of Palworld, Galeclaw has to be part of your team, even if you never take it out of the Sphere. It has two unique abilities as a glider that improve your character greatly, even if it can reach as far or as high as other gliders.
If you open your glider while your gliding Pal is out, it will recall it into the Sphere and open the glider as usual. If you want to continue doing battle with that Pal, you’ll have to summon it again.
One of the abilities is how fast it is, so much so that spamming the glider while on ground level makes you go faster than regular running. This speed is not only great for getting around but also for getting out of danger, either from enemy grenades or wild Pal’s abilities.
Its other and most unique ability is that itlets you use guns(or crossbows) while gliding since your character has one hand free while gliding with Galeclaw. This allows you to keep the pressure while repositioning yourself quickly, adding a lot of movement to an otherwise static combat system.
This makes it so no matter who you are fighting, having Galeclaw in your team will always be an improvement since no glider makes you go this fast, much less let you attack while in the air. Remember that while other Pals use Galeclaw’s model, those count as flying mounts, so only the birds called Galeclaw work as gliders.
