This guide focuses on which creatures perform best in each Expedition slot. The goal is to maximize expedition ratings so you can complete missions faster and achieve higher expedition ranks.
The creature rankings listed here are based on calculated performance scores for each expedition type.
How Creature Ratings Are Calculated
To determine the best creature for each expedition, a rating value is calculated.
Base Stat Score
Each creature has base stats. These stats are multiplied by the expedition’s stat weights, then all values are added together.
Biome Modifier
After calculating the base score, a biome modifier is applied depending on the creature’s element:
- Favored element → higher multiplier
- Neutral element → normal multiplier
- Disadvantaged element → lower multiplier
Trait Modifier
If a creature has the matching expedition trait, another multiplier is applied.
The final result becomes the creature’s rating per level.
A higher rating means the creature can contribute more to the expedition’s total ranking requirement.
Creature awakenings and level caps can also increase the final rating, but those factors are not included here.
Note: Some T2 creatures are still missing from this list and will be added later.

Some Tier 2 creatures have not been fully tested yet, and future updates may change the optimal expedition setups.
As more creatures become available, additional recommendations will be added.
