Alita pet picks: when do Chompy and Starhorn fit?

Where should Alita stand?

Alita is an Aeronaut X-SSR hero with area damage and a critical stat increase at the start of battle. A back-row position lets her attack while the front row holds. Moving her changes which positional pet effects she receives.

Chompy or Starhorn?

Consider Chompy for critical support and finishing weakened enemies. Starhorn is a candidate when you want front-row defense and more attack for Alita in the back row. Starhorn’s opening buff lasts 10 seconds.

• 

  Starhorn

  Adds front-row defense and back-row attack for the first 10 seconds.

• 

  Chompy

  Targets the lowest-HP enemy and adds critical stat to the lineup.

Which Aeronauts can join her?

One starting lineup puts Tony and Mike in front, with Alita, Kiki and Wright behind, alongside Starhorn. It supports front-row defense and back-row attack. Five Aeronauts give a 25% same-faction HP bonus.

For a Mariner mix, try Shark and Tony in front, with Undine, Alita and Kiki behind. Check the same-faction HP, Mariner adjustments and extra counter bonus separately.

X-SSR heroes (Lava, Furiosa and Alita) do not contribute Star Points to Faction Enhancement. The game calls them Season Heroes in these rules.
