Key takeaways

- ✓Expecting stars to raise level
- ✓Feeding mixed species
- ✓Grinding wild spawns for the last star
Condensing your best-rolled copy away
Passives live on the individual Pal. Check every copy's passives and pick the keeper before condensing.
Expecting stars to raise level
Stars raise stats and work ceilings, not level. You still need to level the Pal normally.
Feeding mixed species
Only exact same-species duplicates count; anything else is simply not accepted.
Grinding wild spawns for the last star
Breeding a dedicated duplicate pair, or spending a fruit, is far cheaper in real time than farming late-rank duplicates in the field.
