  • Does condensation improve work speed?

Do condensed Pals keep their passives?

Yes — the Pal you keep retains its own passives, level and IVs. The duplicates you feed in are consumed.

Can you condense a bred Pal?

Yes. Bred children count as duplicates for their species, which is why a single breeding pair is the standard duplicate farm.

Is condensing or Starfruit better?

Whichever resource you have spare. Condense when duplicates are easy to farm; use fruits for rare Pals and for the expensive final rank.

Does condensation improve work speed?

It raises the ceiling on work suitability levels, so a starred base worker can out-work an unstarred copy of the same Pal.

Can you undo condensation?

No. Fed duplicates are gone, so confirm the keeper Pal's passives before you start.
