I found a trick that allows the partner skill to boost unmounted attacks. This doesn’t work for all skills but it does work with DD1 and Dark Whisp with proper timing. When Shadowbeak’s attack comes out but hasnt hit anything yet, quickly mount Shadowbeak. This applies the Partner Skill to the unmounted attacks. Since this is the unmounted attacks the mounted Skills aren’t on cooldown. For Dark Whisp: if you mount too quickly with, the entire attack will be canceled (and I think it’ll be on cooldown) Wait till all the orbs are out then mount. For DD1, Use a Grappling Hook to get to SB quickly before the Orbs shoot. You can hold the mount button and roll if you did not land close enough to SB. I found this out when grinding tower bosses for my Army, lets me fight them w/o using much Ammo. Shadowbeak is my favorite Pal, it’s the first pal I perfectly breed up in my playthroughs.
Yes, since Shadowbeak has a 100% Dark Damage boost when mounted. 30% more attack from Musclehead is multiplied harder than an extra 30% more damage would be. This is because of diminishing returns from type specific damage boosts. An easy way to look at it is that while mounted Shadowbeak has 200% dark damage. 30% more is only a 15% damage increase on that. In order to double his damage again would take 400%, and 800% after that. These numbers are impossible to roll. So it's better to take 30% more attack which is then multiplied by 200%. Equating to a 60% attack boost.
@@mynamewastakin I see thanks for the verydetailed response, I was thinking about making one with invader/siren but it seems like a complete waste now. I'm gonna have to rebreed my dark whisp alpha with musclehead instead of siren now. Are all mounted pals like this?
@@ldeschamps6149 Not all mounted Pals gain the huge bonus damage, no. However, two notable ones are Frostallion and Frostallion Noct who both at max condense gain 100% Ice or 100% Dark Damage respectively. They have the bonus of changing the players attack type to their element as well while mounted.
@@mynamewastakin Ok thank you you seem really knowledgeable so I hope you don't mind me asking you some more question like, are there any other strong pals like Shadowbeak with an obvious trap like this one that I should avoid that comes to your mind? Legend and demon god seems like the obvious choice along serinity but do you think I should use vampiric or musclehead if I have a full team that I will be switching for the fight? And lastly do you think it'ss worth it to breed alpha pals for the extra health or is it more detrimental with the larger hitbox?
@@ldeschamps6149 Oh yeah, ask away my guy. I wouldn't really consider the mounted bonus a trap perse. It only applies to the Shadowbeak while it's mounted. If you were raising an army of Shadowbeaks you'd still want the %type bonus. Though Shadowbeak has a massive attack stat and does perfectly fine with all attack or %type boosts. Both Vampiric and Diamond Body are good on it. Vampiric should keep it beyond healthy in all content except Xenolord / Xenolord Ultra who it has an absolutely terrible match up against. Diamond Body is also rather strong on him. Shadowbeak has a massive defense stat, beating out Pals who're almost entirely defense focused like Warsect by 100s of points. The main problem with both of these is that the hardest content is on a timer. So swapping for Health/Defense/Sustainability could cost you precious seconds to minutes. Shadowbeak can statcheck pretty much everything in the game regardless of how you build him though. There actually aren't many Pals that increase their own damage and most of them are irrelevant such as Dinossom. Notable exceptions are Blazamut Ryu, Selyne, Jormuntide Ignis, and both Frostallions. All of these get a 100% damage bonus from being mounted. However, aside from the Frostallions and maybe Selyne. You won't be using these as mounts so you can build them for %type boosts. They work fine going full attack but are stronger by 10-15% with the %type boosts. It's mostly when they're mounted that the gigantic DPS loss happens due to diminishing returns.
i bred a shadowbeak with Dark Whisp, Vampiric, Legend, Demon God and Serenity. The amount of healing he gets from Vampiric + dark whisp is insane since it does so much dmg
I was wondering if you could make a vid on what pal fruits you use please? I’m just starting to farm them and grow air blade fruits and trying to get holy burst as well but I’d like to know which fruits you grow and use for raids 🙏
I can give you a short list in the meantime: Rockburst, Wall Splash(Curtain Splash), Air Blade, Holy Burst, Flame Funnel, Lightning Streak, Diamond Rain, Thunderstorm, Beam Slicer, Blast Cannon, Thunder Rain and Icicle line are good ones to start with.
Legend, Musclehead, Demon God, Serenity are always the best traits for Shadowbeak specifically. %type damage boosts get heavy diminishing returns on Shadowbeak since his Pal skill adds 100% Dark Damage to his Dark attacks while mounted.
Just asking regarding something that I'm wondering about and could only find conflicting information about online: Does Lullu's partner skill apply to Skill Fruit Orchards? If so (and I'm looking for a lot of skill fruits of a certain skill quickly), would it be better to go with like 2 Jormuntides/Faleris Aqua per orchard and rest of the slots with Lullu be better? I understand Lullu's passive stacks additively, but the difference could be significant enough to matter.
i'd like to start a discussion chaing about using the world setting here right now so we can get our favorite youtuber some extra comments and bc im curious to your opinions, so what do you think about changing the world settings? do you think its fair or unfair to change them and if so which and which not?
@@ProfessorPenkingDamn. So I 'll have to use something else. I don't regret building a Shadowbeak army cause it's good for expeditions, but that's pretty disappointing after all that time I spent breeding them. What is a GOOD Pal to use against raid bosses?
So, something I'm wondering is why use serenity vs something like ferocious on Shadowbeak? You'd get 10% more damage and unless I'm misunderstanding the wording of the passive, the skill reduction only applies to skills like Knucklom's ability. Nyafia's shotgun and things like that. I don't think Shadowbeak has something like that.
@dalton5462 @MarlKitsune Thank you both for letting me know. I thought it was for their pal abilities not the skills they use to attack. That definitely makes the passive much better
Professor can you give me some Ideas about how can I get the remarkable craftsmanship passive for my pals? I need this more than Femon God. If possible please make us an Video over it many others also need this
Catch a couple of hundred chikipi, lamball and cattiva in the starting area. I have the full breeding guide here: ruclips.net/video/3rAgZ2PNkxY/видео.html
Thank you. Love this series and its deeper dives into the mechanics and conditional uses of skills, Pals, and builds.
My favorite pal when I first played the game
x2 but, still so ugly.

Wait shadowbeak does more damage with his divine disasters using musclehead rather than the elemental boosts if I understand correctly???

@@donutguy9228 good luck XD it took me 152 air blades to finally get it
I figured Shadowbeak would be the best candidate for Dark Wisp, surprised you weren't running it. is it that behind in damage?
I did breed for it but it ended up doing less damage than some of the op skills like holy burst.
If I wanted to use 3 Dark Skills, what would my passives be? Demon God + Musclehead/Legend + Siren of the Void + Invader?
Legend, Musclehead, Demon God, Serenity are always the best traits for Shadowbeak specifically. %type damage boosts get heavy diminishing returns on Shadowbeak since his Pal skill adds 100% Dark Damage to his Dark attacks while mounted.
Is there many instances ever where siren of the void and invader are better than muscle head?
It does not seem like it with the current active skill balance.

Lullu did not affect it when I tested, it was still 80 minutes.
Thank you very much!
I want to kinda use 2 gobfin 2 hoocrate
Have you tried using the posion bow to get passive posiom damage?
Poison/Burn are pretty bad vs tower bosses, big damage reduction on them.
@ProfessorPenking when Ive used them I just shoot 1 shot and get more damage than a barrage from a plasma cannon
I wanna play palworld but i get a couple days out of it after each update then my game saves corrupt and break until they patch it again 😭
Can you please tell me,what passive skill should have hoocrates in team and what star tier ? 4 stars ?Will it work with frostalion noct ?

How can I take out the skin?
In the "Pal Dressing Facility" you can both apply and and remove skins from pals. It is the structure with a Cattiva on a pedestal.
@
Is it a mod to make your shadowbeak white? It looks super cool.
It's a skin in the pal dressing facility structure.
@ProfessorPenking Thank you!
wow never seen that monster
As being only available at a single, out-of-the-way location, and single breeding combination, it's pretty easy to miss.
@@malcolmmorris7367issue is it’s so slow. If it was fast I would main it
Not very interested in this Pal, but the fact base damage traits are more efficient than type damage ones for this pal specifically is interesting.
It seems to be this way with similar saddle effects to this.
@ProfessorPenking I'll have to remember that.
Wait, Shadowbeak is weak against raid bosses?
Divine disaster 1 & 2 is resisted by all the current raid bosses. Both Ryu and Xenolord use super effective dragon skills against it.
@@ProfessorPenkingDamn. So I 'll have to use something else. I don't regret building a Shadowbeak army cause it's good for expeditions, but that's pretty disappointing after all that time I spent breeding them. What is a GOOD Pal to use against raid bosses?
@affablesage9582 The professor has a video on that actually! I believe it's his jormuntide ignis vid

It’s active skill cd reduction, not passive skills. Active skills = moves. So you’re misunderstanding the wording
Those are partner skills, Active skills are the 3 attacks a pal has.
@dalton5462 @MarlKitsune Thank you both for letting me know. I thought it was for their pal abilities not the skills they use to attack. That definitely makes the passive much better
Yep. Serenity is the singlehandedly strongest DPS increase of all current passives
Serenity applies to active skills, not partner skills.
Professor can you give me some Ideas about how can I get the remarkable craftsmanship passive for my pals? I need this more than Femon God. If possible please make us an Video over it many others also need this
I cranked up spawn rates and mass caught gobfins to get new passives to breed out to others personally.
