What Sky Strider Does

Sky Strider grants +2 ride jumps: while you're riding the Pal, it can jump twice more in mid-air. Its little sibling is Lightfooted (+1), and the two effects transform ground mounts in vertical terrain — cliffs that used to mean dismount-and-climb become a double hop.

It's strictly a mount passive: on anything you don't ride, the slot is wasted. Flying mounts also get little from it — the Pals that love it are fast ground runners.

How to Get It

Sky Strider is one of the five mutation passives — it never rolls on wild Pals. There are two sources:

• Mutated Eggs. Every Pal hatched from a mutated egg carries one of the five mutation passives at random — see the mutated Pals guide. Community testing shows the passive then inherits through normal breeding like any other.
• The disposable implant. Disposable Implant: Skymarcher applies it at the Pal Surgery Table (free surgery, implant consumed). Watch the name: the implant is still localized as "Skymarcher" even though the passive it applies is Sky Strider. It only drops from recycling Glistening Ancient Relics at the Ancient Relic Recycler — a 20% roll in the Glistening-exclusive slot. See the Ancient Relics guide.
