Best Kindling Pals

Kindling Pals light and tend fire-based stations: cooking pots, furnaces and anything that smelts or bakes. Because ingots and cooked food sit at the start of so many production chains, a slow Kindling worker quietly bottlenecks the whole base.

Top picks

• Best overall: Renjishi with Kindling level 8.
• Early game: Dupin (Lv 7, from area Lv 13).
• Best all-rounders: Petallia Ignis (5 jobs), Sootseer (5 jobs), Bushi (5 jobs). Good when base slots are tight.
• Specialists: Jormuntide Ignis, Suzaku, Kitsun Noct only do Kindling, so they never wander off to other tasks.

Tips

• Fire Pals are usually your Kindling workers, so keep them away from water-heavy bases where they're weak in a fight.
• Once you run several furnaces, one high-level Kindling Pal beats two low-level ones: it fills a single slot and works every station faster.
• Passive skills like Artisan (+50% work speed) stack on top of a Pal's level. See the passive skills guide for breeding them on.

Food is how much the Pal eats (higher means hungrier). Area levels are the recommended level of the area where the Pal lives, a rough guide to how early you can catch it.
