Poor Rayhound

[Wushiba]

Why is Rayhound so slow? It should be one of the fastest ground Pals.

Slow...... if you breed it with runner and other speed stats, it's one of the fastest rides. It's great for caves. Give the ray hound the proper breeding stats and you'll see speed. In one of my game saves, I have the fastest direwolf.... I've seen some youtuber make the jetdragon with 75% speed increase. That thing could zip real fast.

I didn't know that. I guess I'm talking about a basic random Rayhound, not the best / fastest possible version of it in the entire game.

Rayhound Is far from being bad, but also not one of the great.

Name / Ride Sprint Speed
Univolt / 1100
Pyrin / 1300
Pyrin Noct / 1300
Rayhound / 1150
Fengloupe / 1050
Paladius / 1400
Necromus / 1600

While Direhowl is 1050 , Its passive states: "Moves slightly faster than most mounts"

Though I am not aware the modifier of that.

There's a lot of tweaking to be done to the various bits of flavour text in the game, I think. At full speed, rayhound most definitely cannot "be mistaken for a bolt of lightning".

Yeah its description in the Paldeck made me think it would be much faster than it is if you don't breed the perfect one.

Rayhound actually IS one of the fastest ground mounts in the game. It gets speed boosts as it's star rankings go up. It's actually faster than Pyrin at max star rank as Pyrin does not get speed boosts from star ranks making it the fastest non legendary ground mount.

As Direhowl, Fenglope, Paladius, Necromus, Jormuntide, Kitsun, Surfent, Reindrix, Arsox, Nitewing.

Its not something specific to Rayhound.

We've tried it out after Fengloupe, it seemed pretty slow compared to that.

Fenglope is really by far the best despite its 1050 sprint speed. The double jump is vastly better than Paladius's triple jump. Also, Cloud Tempest which is a really long dash skill that can cover vast amounts of land in a very short time and also has a relatively short cooldown. I made one with perfect rolls and maxed out and it's insanely good not to mention actually feels enjoyable to ride as you can navigate the landscape because of its insane double jump.

Yeah Fenglope is a lot of fun to ride around and its really cute too. One of my fave Pals for sure. Still, I think Rayhound should be at least twice as fast as it is currently.
