Condensing after breeding

The Pal Essence Condenser raises star rank, base stats and partner-skill level using duplicate copies of the same Pal.

How it works

Feed duplicates of the same species into the condenser to raise star rank. Each rank raises base stats and strengthens the partner skill.

Where duplicates come from

Same-species breeding always yields that species, so one dedicated pair is a duplicate factory that costs only Cake.

Order of operations

Finish the passive stack first, then condense that exact Pal. Condensing does not change passives, so condensing early wastes duplicates on a Pal you will replace.

Statues of Power

Statues raise soul-boosted stats separately using Pal Souls, stacking on top of condensing for the final stat push.
