How to catch

Elemental advantage (Fire vs Grass, Water vs Fire, Grass vs Water, Electric vs Water, Ground vs Electric, Ice vs Dragon, Dark vs Neutral, Dragon vs Dragon) speeds the weaken step.

Work suitabilities & base role
Paladius is tagged for Planting, Gathering. Slot it into a base loop that stacks its highest work value — for example, an plantation and gathering line — and give it the Workaholic + Serious passives to squeeze out extra work speed.
Partner skill & mount notes
Paladius's partner skill "Botanist" activates while it rides on your shoulder or is deployed. Its ride speed of 888 makes it a support-only rider — better as a base worker than a full-time mount.
