My Ultimate Guide to Conquering the Bellanoir Raids in Palworld (2026 Edition)

Confronting Bellanoir and its formidable variant, Bellanoir Libero, remains one of the most daunting challenges in the late-game Palworld experience. As a dedicated Tamer who has faced this Dark-type menace numerous times, I can attest that victory requires more than just brute force; it demands a meticulously crafted strategy centered around exploiting its elemental weakness to Dragon-type attacks. Over the years, the meta has evolved, but the core principle remains: assemble a team of powerful Dragon-type Pals, both as active partners and as base defenders, to whittle down its colossal health bar while surviving its devastating assaults. This guide compiles my hard-earned knowledge on the best Pals, tactics, and team compositions to finally harvest the coveted rewards from these epic raids.

🐉 Mount & Artillery Specialists

These Pals excel when you take the reins directly, transforming your mounted assaults into a torrent of dragon-fueled devastation.

Chillet: The Mobile Dragon Catalyst

My go-to for a hit-and-run strategy is Chillet. Its unique passive is a game-changer: while mounted, all your weapon attacks gain the Dragon attribute. This means every bullet from your Assault Rifle or, more effectively, every rocket from your Rocket Launcher or Laser Rifle, strikes Bellanoir for super-effective damage. I highly recommend using the Pal Essence Condenser to merge multiple Chillets, enhancing this passive to its maximum potential for truly monstrous output. The key is constant movement to avoid its area-of-effect attacks.

Jetragon: The Aerial Barrage

For pure speed and firepower, nothing beats Jetragon. As the fastest mount, it allows for unparalleled hit-and-run tactics. Its mounted skill, Aerial Missile, unleashes a barrage of dragon-type missiles. Couple this with your own heavy weaponry, and you become a relentless aerial gunship. While it can provide base support, it truly shines in your active party.

🏰 Base Defense & Support Corps

A sturdy base filled with supporting fire is crucial for sustained pressure. These Pals form the backbone of your defensive line.

Azurobe: The Budget-Friendly Suppressor

Don't underestimate Azurobe. As an early-game Dragon-type, it's a fantastic, accessible option. Its rapid attacks provide consistent supporting fire. I usually station 3-4 of them in my base to pepper Bellanoir while my main tank draws aggro. They're fragile, so their role is purely supplemental damage.

Orserk: The Paralyzing Artillery

Orserk is a powerhouse from a distance. Its signature move, Polykeraunos, deals massive 180 base Electric damage and, crucially, applies paralysis. While not super-effective, having a few Orserks in base chain this move can lock Bellanoir in place, granting precious seconds to revive allies or reposition. Teaching it Dragon Meteor via a Skill Fruit amplifies its direct damage significantly.

Relaxaurus Line: The Versatile Brawlers

Both Relaxaurus and Relaxaurus Lux are incredibly versatile. They boast solid attack and defense, making them excellent off-tanks and base attackers. Their mounted skill, Missile Launcher, deals dragon-type damage, and they can learn Dragon Meteor. I recommend a mixed approach: keep a few in base and carry one as a partner for its missile barrage.

🛡️ The Unbreakable Vanguard

These Pals are built to absorb punishment and control the battlefield, allowing your damage dealers to work safely.

Quivern Botan: The Melee Bulwark

The Grass-type variant, Quivern Botan, trades some offense for exceptional HP and Defense. Maxing out its defensive capabilities turns it into a perfect distraction. It will engage Bellanoir at melee range, tanking hits while using moves like Comet Beam (Dragon) and Grass Tornado to push the boss back and create space for your team.

Knocklem: The Immovable Object

Introduced in the Sakurajima update, Knocklem is, in my experience, the definitive tank. It possesses the highest base HP and Defense in Palworld. Its Steel Guardian Mode auto-activates in combat, further boosting its stats. While slow, its skills like Sand Twister and Ground Cutter have low cooldowns and deal respectable damage. Having a Knocklem in your base is the ultimate aggro magnet, letting you focus solely on dealing damage.

💥 The Heavy Hitters

When you need raw, unadulterated damage output, these Pals deliver.

Jormuntide & Jormuntide Ignis: The Elemental Leviathans

These serpentine powerhouses boast some of the highest Attack stats globally. As Dragon/Water and Dragon/Fire types respectively, they inherently exploit Bellanoir's weakness. They are tanky enough to survive prolonged engagement and can unleash devastating Dragon Meteor attacks. Use them as frontline partners or potent base attackers.

Astegon: The Apex Predator

Arguably the best Pal for this specific raid, Astegon is a monster. Its Dark/Dragon typing grants it a quadruple resistance (x4) to Bellanoir's Dark-type attacks. This makes it incredibly durable while it counterattacks with its own powerful Dragon-type moves. Unleashing a base full of Astegons is a near-cheat code for this fight, providing both an impenetrable defense and a relentless offense.

🌿 Essential Support

No raid team is complete without a healer to sustain the long battle.

Lyleen & Lyleen Noct: The Divine Healers

The Lyleen sisters are the premier support Pals. Their partner skills, Harvest Goddess and Goddess of the Tranquil Light, provide crucial healing for you and your Pals. Lyleen Noct is particularly valuable here; its Dark typing gives it a double resistance (x2) to Bellanoir's attacks, improving its survivability while it keeps your team in the fight.

📋 My Recommended Team Composition & Strategy

Based on countless raids, here is the composition that has brought me the most consistent success:

Role	Pal (Primary)	Pal (Alternative)	Quantity	Location
Main Tank / Aggro	Knocklem	Quivern Botan	1-2	Base / Partner
Primary Damage (Tanky)	Astegon	Jormuntide	3-4	Base
Secondary Damage / Support	Orserk	Relaxaurus Lux	2-3	Base
Healer	Lyleen Noct	Lyleen	1	Partner
Mount / Player Damage	Jetragon	Chillet	1	Partner (Active)

Execution Strategy:

1. Setup: Deploy your base team (Astegons, Orserks, Tank) within your base perimeter before initiating the raid.

2. Initiation: Summon Bellanoir and immediately mount your Jetragon or Chillet. Your base Pals will automatically engage.

3. Aggro Management: Let your Knocklem or Quivern Botan draw the boss's attention. If it switches to attacking your base, use your mount's mobility to draw it back out.

4. Damage Phase: Circle the boss at high speed, firing your Rocket Launcher or other heavy weapons. Prioritize dodging its telegraphed area attacks.

5. Sustain: Keep your Lyleen Noct close. Disengage briefly when your health is low to receive healing from its partner skill.

6. Adaptation: If a key Pal like your tank falls, use the respite provided by Orserk's paralysis to revive it quickly.

Remember, patience and persistence are key. Bellanoir is a war of attrition. By leveraging Dragon-type superiority, a balanced team, and hit-and-run tactics, you will eventually wear down this formidable end-game foe and claim your rightful rewards. Good luck, Tamer!
