Best Pals for putting Vanguard on

[ghostfire40]

I've noticed a lot of palworld youtubers have a bunch of Gobfins in their party with Vanguard on them, claiming it gives them a huge attack buff. Is there sometning special about Gobfin that justifys putting Vanguard on them? Would, for example, having a bunch of Cativas with Vanguard on them yield the exact same result (where each pal with Vanguard gives a 10% attack boost for the human pal tamer)?

Galeclaw would be amazing to put vanguard on for sure

[Aestrea]

The gobfins give 20% to player attack and vanguard an additional 10% which stacks additively. Equipping Atk +2 and Atk +1 Accessory will give 25% more which stacks multiplying as well as food. The maximum player damage can reach 845% Aside from the gobfin ignus, there is nothing else can give the player a 30% per slot buff.

You still may want Vanguard on something like a Galeclaw if you want a good glider.

As mentioned, its just that Gobfins are already used for its partner skill for gun-builds, so enlarging said buff is just additive to it. Its just stacking more %.
Would strongly suggest putting in Stronghold Strategist on them aswell.

Of course gliders are also ripe for the buff, but if you're using guns at all its worth having it on your combat pals too. Especially so because you kinda want a pal that boosts your damage further like Chillet or even the passive ones like Anubis.

If you not using gun much and rely a lot on Pal then better use Strategist instead .

i run galeclaw with vanguard, stronghold strategist, diet lover and motivational leader.
I don't bother with the mining or logging passives because you have pals that do that for you.

you can all so put it on your battle chillet or any pal that give you elemental dmg for your gun. it help. but yeah both gobfins give a passive dmg bonus by thenself so vanguard a no brainier. i my self put both vanguard and stronghold strategist on my 4 gobfins for maximum passive boost.

I don' think you can equip 2 items with the same status buff.

Pretty sure the same buff just stacks. I have a beakon with 4 sparkits in my party. Each sparkit is condensed, so they give I think a 30% boost (from what I hear, I have not tested this) to the beakon's attack. 4 should give 120%.

You can't equip two identical items but you can equip two similar items. So you can't wear two attack 2 pendants but you can wear an attack 2 with an attack 1.

[Goddess Ilias]

all of your main pals , should be +50% atk on a full team

[Gorem]

Basically end game teams are five vanguards and five stronghold strategists.

Regardless of people going for other passives, you always want those on every pal. Because its a 100% buff in total to you. Combine that with Gobfins already buffing you your damage skyrockets.

I do wish gliders did serve a purpose besides just going those 2 and then either of the 3 logging/mining/motive leader and it kind of sucks we have basically 4/5 Pal slots because one has to be a glider pal and they are all kinda bad in combat, plus if they die then well, you lose your glider and have to use the crafted glider which is like you are moving inside of tar.
