Combos for base work versus combos for raids

The same breeding budget buys very different outcomes depending on whether you optimise for work suitability or raid damage.

Key takeaways
  • ✓Work-first combos
  • ✓Raid-first combos
  • ✓Shared donors
  • ✓Budgeting Cake

Work-first combos

Anubis (Handiwork), Ice Reptyro (Cooling), Mossanda Lux (Electric), Jormuntide (Watering) and Blazamut (Kindling) cover every base need with five bred Pals.

Raid-first combos

Jormuntide Ignis, Blazehowl, Faleris and a Legend-carrying Shadowbeak line cover the damage types most raid bosses are weak to.

Shared donors

One four-passive donor serves both lists. Breed passives once, then bridge them into whichever species the project needs.

Budgeting Cake

Work lines need few rolls because passives matter less; combat lines need many because the four-passive stack is the whole point. Split Cake roughly one to three in favour of combat.
