Passive Skills are attributes or natures that Pals can have. They can give various buffs/debuffs to the Player or Pal.

They are obtained randomly in the wild and can also be passed down through breeding.

A Pal can have up to four Passive Skills at a time, but it is not possible to have multiple copies of the same Passive Skill on one Pal. However, multiple Passive Skills that carry boosts or downgrades to the same stat will stack additively with each other.

While most of the passive skills do exactly what they say they do, the ones affecting sale price have somewhat misleading descriptions: both price when selling and buying is affected, with Noble and Fine Furs affecting it favorably for the player (increasing the value when selling, and decreasing the value when purchasing), and Shabby affecting it unfavorably for the player (decreasing the value when selling, and increasing the value when purchasing).

Pal-Specific Passives[]

There are certain Pals which will always have a common Passive Skill after being captured.

Boss-Specific Passives[]

  • Currently, Earthquake Resistant's tooltip is incorrect. In-game it mentions "Earth damage" whereas the type is called "Ground".
