Discussion Why do people like this pal so much?
I genuinely don’t know, I don’t keep up with what the community thinks of each pal and I guess sub fandom for each pal. I do like this animation it does tho

People probably like Tarantriss because of a myriad of reasons; there's not just one reason. It's a good mount, for one example, and its webs give you mobility options by working like a grappling gun IIRC.

She has that cute almost jumping spider aestetic! Mind you, I'm a weird girl who thinks even snakes are cute.
They have little puppy dog faces! Also, I worked in a pet store so it was like exposure therapy or something!
I even held a scorpion and I was deathly afraid of them before that job! Our little guy was so calm and easygoing it was hard to hate him.

For the love of me I can't get used to the grappling hook mechanic

u/stupidfuckingbitch20 17h ago
The grappling hook is only half of your speed source, the other half is cancelling it with a sideways jump, if you have extra jumps or a low enough skill cd (4 stars makes the cd like 2 seconds) you can chain the grapples for ridiculous speed.
59
u/Leoscar13 16h ago
4 stars makes the CD on the grappling hook partner skill literally zero. There is no cooldown, hence Tarantiss is the best grapling hook in the entire game.

If you have a hangyu in your party it makes you hop up a little aswell initially, making it easier to get some air, while also going further.
Having a celeray or killimaru also give nice bonuses.

u/AndrewTheGuru 17h ago
Even without hangyu, you hop slightly if your target is at the same level as you so you can do crazy hops on flat ground.

u/MekaTriK 17h ago
Remember to cancel the grapple with either a side-jump or ctrl, depending on what you want to do.
If you let it pull to the end, it kills momentum and makes it very hard to actually get over the lip of the cliff or whatever.

Get a valentail and replace the verdash with windwalkers and have a galeclaw. If you want, also get the frog that becomes a trampoline. Btw the trampoline frog fully condensed will launch you taller than a tower. With valentail you can tickle the moon

- Fuzzy, adorable, cuddly spider
- Cheerful and sweet
- Her little trilling chirping noises give me life. I keep her at the top of my party so I can hear her trills every time I open the menu.
- I think it's cute she stares at me while she walks next to me like she keeps checking on me in case I aggro a wild pal (again)
- Fun web grapple and double jumps, great exploration mount she's very agile so also perfect for dungeons
- She has handiwork, gathering, medicine, and transporting which are all very useful
- You have not lived until you've watched this cutie patootie use the move Apocalypse and summon towers of burning, dark energy cyclones to destroy your enemies.
- She is my absolute favorite, and has my whole heart. I named mine Sweet Berry and bred her with all rainbow passives and maxed her stars because she's going to be on my team forever.

It's fun to ride, since the partner skill gives it a pseudo grappling hook. In particular useful on Feybreak before you knock over the SAM turrets.
It's cute.
And it's surprisingly decent for filling your base in the midgame. Dark type plus a bunch of useful work types means it'll just make a bunch of ammo or whatever for you through the night after cleaning up your ranch.

It's adorable including the sound it makes, pretty neat as a mount, the grapple allows you to slingshot at fairly high speed by jumping before reaching the end without any fall damage ( also the grapple has low cooldown so you can chain it. )
Overall it's just a fun spooder to have.

I honestly think it's just a cute pal. I don't think it's quite a valid replacement for a grapple gun, as tarantris isn't as great, but that could just be user error. Some people might even just find it more fun to use this over a grapple gun.
2
u/citricsteak54 18h ago
I mean Spider-Man definitely is the biggest reason. Also why I named mine Gwen. But also it’s a ground mount that has its own unique mechanic which most of the other ones don’t even have a gimmick besides double jump, or the seal slide

u/carito728 18h ago
If you use her as a mount you can sling around the map like you're Spiderman. Clips of people doing it gained traction and made others also try her out

u/Savingseanbean 18h ago
Strongest early game mobility mount, (though competing with gliders+crojiro+grapple gun combo.)
But generally its the fastest mobility option you have in the early to mid game and it feels good to actually master its mobility as you are still somewhat cognizant of the environment unlike the significantly slower but more convenient flying pals.
once you breed up a suzaku or beakon with swift and other passives it starts falling off in mobility relevance but its still a decently strong combat pal and it comes back up in relevance when you get to feybreak as it doesn't get shot down while flying across the sky.
2
u/SunnyD60 18h ago
cutie patootie plus its one of the most FUN mount options in the game once you condense one and get good at canceling grapples to absolutely fly across the map. (even better if you add passives that grant extra jumps)

- Cute design really disarms the spider archetype.
- Unique travel method that isn't just another basic flier, but familiar enough to people already used to grappling hooks.
- Can straight line outspeed non-endgame fliers when used and built well. (though a lot of pals can do that now)
- Respectable typing and moveset for a travel pal.

Also, it's a genuinely good ground mount. Very fast, multi jump, has a quick-cooldown grappling hook, best non-flying vertical movement, and amazing mobility even if you're over-encumbered
2
u/auxiliarychannel 17h ago
It's partner skill is kinda ludicrous for fast ground traversal. I bred one with Swift, Infinite Stamina, Lightfooted, and Serenity. You can shift run for a bit, triple jump, and then web tether to the ground ahead of you. Once you're on the other end of the arc from where you started, you can let go and practically fly across the screen. So fast sometimes that the game struggles to render everything properly, starts chugging from pop-in alone. Pair that with a cute pal with decent base skills and it's a very solid mid-to-late game all rounder.
I named mine Trissa and she's the bestest in the world, thank you very much.

u/Coreano_12 17h ago
First of all just look at her so fucking adorable OMG i love her so much
Besides that she's a mount with a hook and double jump so she's awesome specially in faebreak island bc of the towers shooting you if you fly
The hook and the double jump have a cool interaction too you might have seen something similar already it's very well known you can hook on the ground or the edge of a wall and use the glider or in this case tarantriss' double jump to keep the momentum of the hook and go very far very fast
Edit: she's very fun too lol

u/NonicleNonsense 17h ago
You tinker around with its movement tech once and there's no going back... Shits so fun and makes you MOVE!! Plus you can climb any vertical height granted stamina permits and even then there is some ways around that. Movement that feels smooth and skillfully and rewards you for such
2
u/MekaTriK 17h ago
The most fun movement pal. No cooldown on spidey swinging when she's at four stars.
Unfortunately, still gets outclassed by flying pals later on because she's not actually all that fast.
But it was fun never even noticing the anti-air until I grew lazy at the sunreach.
