Is Direhowl Worth Using?

Early keep

Ground-type mount with high ground speed — the fastest land mount before late-game.

Keep if

  • Direhowl brings Lv.2 Mining — enough to staff early crafting and hauling before specialists arrive.
  • Common near the starting routes, so you can fill a party or base slot without a long hunt.
  • Partner skill — Howl — Increases movement speed for a short duration.

Skip if

  • Loses tempo into Grass / Water matchups — bring a counter before hard fights.
  • Combat and work levels fall off fast; do not spend rare cakes or spheres building it for late game.
  • Narrow job coverage — pair with other Pals if your base needs mining, kindling, or farming too.
