Eggs, breeding and passive-skill hunting

Bred eggs always hatch one fixed Pal decided by the parents' combined breed power, while wild eggs roll randomly from their family pool. Passive skills are rolled at hatch on both, which is why breeding is the correct way to hunt Legend and Swift stacks.

Key takeaways
  • Deterministic children
  • Passive inheritance
  • The godroll target
  • Condense your rejects

Deterministic children

Use the Pal Stars breeding calculator to find every parent pairing for a target Pal before you commit Cake.

Passive inheritance

Each child rolls up to four passives, weighted toward those the parents carry. Chain-breed the best child forward to converge on a 4-passive Pal.

The godroll target

Legend, Musclehead, Ferocious and Swift on a Legendary is the practical ceiling for combat; Work Slave, Serious, Artisan and Lucky is the base-worker equivalent.

Condense your rejects

Four duplicates raise a Pal one star tier. Never delete rejects — condense them.

Egg-quality myth

Egg size does not affect passive quality. A Common egg can hatch a 4-passive Pal.
