What are Sootseer's best passive skills?
For PvE damage, stack Musclehead + Ferocious + Lucky on Sootseer. For a base role, swap in Workaholic + Serious + Artisan. Reroll unwanted traits with the Trait Extractor at the Ancient Tech bench.
How do you breed Sootseer?
Sootseer's breed power seat determines its parent pairings. Cross two parents whose combined breed power averages closest to Sootseer's, put them at a Breeding Farm with a Grade S Cake, and incubate the egg for the best hatch rate. The Pal Stars breeding calculator lists every valid pairing.
