Palmon: Survival Tier List 2026: Best Palmons to Build

Zapantis

Huge frontline value, strong control, and the ability to pressure the enemy back row give Zapantis one of the most complete combat profiles in the game. Its listed role is Tank, but the publicly described strengths already include high damage and disruption, which is exactly why it sits at the top. In real fights, a front-row unit that can hold space, control targets, and still threaten the back line is premium value and scales well into harder content.

Pyrogeist

Top-end offensive value is the whole reason Pyrogeist ranks here. It evolves from Embergeist, and Embergeist is already publicly described as an incredibly overpowered seasonal fire DPS. That gives the full line an elite carry identity from the start. The safe takeaway is simple: this evolution belongs at the top because it upgrades one of the strongest fire damage lines currently described in public sources, with enough proven offensive weight behind the base form to justify an S+ finish.

Thundermane

Extreme carry potential is what defines Thundermane. It evolves from Thundertooth, and Thundertooth already has one of the clearest premium damage profiles in public notes: huge damage, temporary invincibility, and strong targeting. That gives the line a very high floor and ceiling at the same time. So the S+ placement makes sense as the evolved payoff of a line that is already known for brutal offensive pressure and strong reliability during actual combat windows.

Prismalith

Heavy damage, clear durability value, and built-in control are what make the Prismalith line so strong. Mammolith already has a publicly supported profile with very good damage, self damage reduction up to 75%, and added stuns, which is one of the most complete kits any damage line has on paper right now. Prismalith inherits that elite base and pushes it into the very top tier. A line that already hits hard, lives better, and controls targets deserves this kind of ranking.

Cyrovern

Premium line strength is what places Cyrovern in S+. It evolves from Glacewing, and Glacewing is already publicly framed as strong, impressive, and fairly paywalled, which tells you the performance level is high even before the evolution comes into play. The corrected read here stays grounded: Cyrovern is top-tier because it upgrades one of the strongest premium offensive lines currently available, not because there is a fully public skill-by-skill breakdown of the evolved form itself.

Oleana

Confirmed undeployed HP support is what makes Oleana so valuable. Its passive skill boosts Palmon HP even while it is not deployed, which gives it real roster value instead of just field value. That kind of passive account-wide usefulness is exactly the sort of thing that stays relevant for a long time, especially in a game where third-skill value matters so much. Oleana also becomes available early enough in Season 2 that the payoff arrives before it feels too late.

Spookaboo

Strong damage plus a confirmed undeployed attack buff through Skill 3 make Spookaboo one of the cleanest value picks in the roster. It improves your account even while sitting off the field, and that is a huge deal in Palmon. A passive attack boost like that stays useful well beyond early progression, especially when attached to a unit that also has good DPS on its own. It is one of the safest “build and keep value” units currently described in public notes.

Embergeist

Raw fire damage is enough to explain this rank. Embergeist is publicly described as an incredibly overpowered seasonal fire DPS, which already tells you why it belongs near the top. It is one of the strongest offensive base forms currently noted, and it also serves as the foundation for an S+ evolution line. If your goal is to build a carry that brings immediate offensive pressure and strong long-term payoff, this line is one of the clearest choices.

Thundertooth

Huge damage, temporary invincibility, and strong target selection give Thundertooth one of the strongest publicly confirmed carry profiles in the game. Those traits matter a lot in real combat because they help the unit keep outputting pressure during key windows instead of folding immediately. It already plays like a premium DPS line before evolution enters the picture, and that makes it one of the safest offensive investments if you want a unit that can carry fights instead of just supporting them.

Mammolith

Very good damage, self damage reduction up to 75%, and stuns in the kit make Mammolith one of the most complete damage lines publicly described right now. It has clear offensive value, but it also survives focus better than many standard carries and adds useful control at the same time. That combination is exactly why this line ranks so highly. It is easy to justify investing into a unit that already brings damage, durability, and disruption in one publicly confirmed package.

Glacewing

Strong performance and a premium feel are both already supported by the public note attached to Glacewing. The important part is keeping the description grounded: what is clearly stated is that it is impressive, strong, and also quite paywalled. That still gives it a very easy S-tier case. This is a high-impact offensive line with real strength behind it, just one that comes with a steeper access cost than some of the more broadly attainable options nearby.

Oneirina

Strong inherited investment value is the reason Oneirina stays in S. It evolves from Lucidina, and Lucidina is publicly described as worth all your universal shards and as the strongest Palmon on release. That gives the full line excellent value from the start. So the ranking here is easy to support without overreaching: Oneirina belongs high because it continues one of the best launch carry lines in the game and preserves that investment into the evolution stage.

Chefeuillier

High-value hybrid line strength is what keeps Chefeuillier in S. It evolves from Ghillant, and Ghillant already has a very clear public identity: tank well and still deal quite a bit of damage. That is one of the most useful combat shapes any line can have. So this rank follows naturally from the strength of the base line. It is a safe, practical, and proven hybrid path that stays valuable once it reaches the evolution stage.

Kungpaw

Strong AoE water damage is the key reason Kungpaw ranks this high. Public notes also make it clear that it needs real event-pack investment before it reaches the impact it is meant to have. So this is a high-upside event DPS with proven offensive value, but one that asks for more commitment than the average easy-build carry.

Shadowkaeru

Easy early access to the Ninjump line is what gives Shadowkaeru strong value. Ninjump is already publicly described as easy to build, easy to duplicate early, and useful in early progression. That makes this evolution path practical from the start and much easier to justify than lines that take longer to come online.

Leafergarde

Strong line value from Ghillant is what supports Leafergarde’s rank. Ghillant already brings a very useful hybrid profile with tanking and real damage, so this evolution continues a line that already has proven practical value. Even without a fully detailed public breakdown of the evolved form, the base line is strong enough to justify a high placement.

Bufonobi

Fast payoff and practical progression are the big selling points here. Bufonobi upgrades the Ninjump line, and that line already starts paying back early through easy duplicates and useful early combat value. That makes Bufonobi one of the safer evolution paths for players who want a line that feels useful early and still stays relevant later.

Azurostrigoi

Broad offensive value is the reason Azurostrigoi stays this high. It evolves from Pipistrigoi, and Pipistrigoi is already publicly described as having great all-enemy damage and a very polished attacking profile. That gives the full line strong offensive credibility before the evolution even enters the picture.

Lionarch

Massive all-enemy pressure from the Regalion line is the key point here. Regalion already has a publicly confirmed damage wave against all enemies, so Lionarch inherits a line built around broad offensive impact. That makes it an easy high-tier evolution even without needing extra unconfirmed details layered on top.

Gnashfin

Focused single-target damage is what defines the Gnashfin line. It evolves from Gnashley, and Gnashley is publicly described as a great damage dealer with massive single-target pressure plus some mitigation value for water teams. That gives the line a clear role and a very solid reason to rank well.

Lucidina

Excellent shard value and premium early carry payoff keep Lucidina high. Publicly, it is described as worth all your universal shards and as the strongest Palmon on release, which is about as strong an endorsement as a launch unit can get. That efficiency still matters even after stronger later lines appear.

Ghillant

Tanking well while still dealing meaningful damage is the whole reason Ghillant stays in A+. That hybrid profile is publicly confirmed and stays useful for a long time. The only clear limitation is acquisition, since it must be bought in-game instead of caught, but the role value is still strong enough to justify the rank.

Pipistrigoi

Great all-enemy damage and a clean attacking profile give Pipistrigoi very stable value. It is one of the easier offensive units to justify because the role is clear, the pressure is broad, and the public description is already strong without needing extra interpretation. Straightforward all-target damage always ages well in roster-building games like this.

Plunderjaw

Excellent value in full water teams is the reason Plunderjaw makes A. Public notes describe it as amazing if you are running a full water setup and trying to stay competitive, while also saying most players can skip it. That makes it a strong specialist rather than a universal build.

Mystiray

Strong early-line inheritance is what supports Mystiray. It evolves from Mantleray, and Mantleray is publicly described as a strong early attacker and a safe early investment. That gives this evolution path a solid base and enough practical value to stay clearly above filler-tier lines.

Solhorn

Sturdy disruption is the main appeal here. Solhorn comes from Hoofrit, and Hoofrit already has confirmed back-row stun utility plus useful frontline value early on. That gives the line a real combat job, even if the publicly available details stop short of a deeper evolved-form breakdown.

Leviadolph

Reliable frontline tank value is what defines Leviadolph. It evolves from Dolphriend, and Dolphriend is publicly described as everything you need from a frontline tank, especially because of its mitigation at low HP. That makes this evolution path easy to respect as a stable defensive line.

Flaries

Practical control from a sturdy line is what keeps Flaries relevant. It upgrades the Hoofrit line, so the core value still starts with durability and back-row stun utility. That role is already useful on its own, and it stays worth something even without flashy carry-level damage.

Keranosaur

Good defensive foundation is the main reason Keranosaur lands here. It evolves from Fulgairy, and Fulgairy is publicly described as a strong frontline damage taker with a counter shield. That gives the line dependable tank utility and enough proven value to stay comfortably in A tier.

Sorceray

Safe offensive progression is what supports Sorceray. It also comes from Mantleray, whose public notes already frame it as an early attacker you cannot really go wrong investing into. That gives Sorceray a stable, proven line behind it and enough offensive credibility to justify continued investment.

Essaucier

Single-target damage plus carry support define this line. Essaucier evolves from Escarffier, and Escarffier is publicly described as dealing high single-target damage while also buffing your main attacker’s output. That makes this line a useful fit for focused carry setups and easy to justify in A tier.

Vulpyrean

Scaling multi-target pressure is the real draw here. It evolves from Revontulet, and Revontulet is publicly described as a sleeper that deals a lot of damage once its multi-target skill is upgraded. That gives the line clear long-term value and a good reason to keep building it.

Rumbkey

Frontline utility and control are what make Rumbkey useful. It grows from Baboom, and Baboom already has confirmed frontline value, stun, and strong hits, with the tradeoff being lower AoE reach. That gives the line a sturdy bruiser-style identity and enough real function to stay worth using.

Adolphonis

Stable tank-line value is the whole story here. Like Leviadolph, it evolves from Dolphriend, so the public foundation is still frontline durability and low-HP mitigation. That is a dependable defensive profile with clear practical use, even if it does not come with flashy offensive headlines.

Ninjump

Easy duplicates, early accessibility, and useful early combat value make Ninjump one of the better practical A-tier picks. Public notes already emphasize how easy it is to build and how helpful it feels early on. That kind of low-friction progression value is exactly what keeps a unit relevant.

Regalion

Massive all-enemy damage and a Tank/DPS role tag give Regalion a very usable generalist profile. The public description already makes the broad damage identity clear, and that alone is enough to justify a steady A-tier spot. It is a flexible line with obvious fight impact and no need for overexplaining.
