Question about the Pal Condenser

[Sqlava]

If I condense 5 pals into 1 and then use that Rank 2 Pal as fodder for a rank 3 Pal, does it count as just 1 pal or does it count as 5 pals? If it only counts as 1, I hope they change that in the future or just make it so that I don't need exactly 16 pals. I'd like to be able to just condense whatever I have to save box space.

It doesn't really condense 5 to 1, exactly. It improves 1 by sacrificing 4.
So whichever 1 you choose will just be moderately enhanced, not put in 5 and get a new combined 1.

(maybe unnecessary explanation, but I wasn't sure before I used it)

Ya, they really should change it. At any point, you should be able to put in a lower star pal and have it count for how many pals you invested in it.

The final number you need of 64 is just way too many for how small the pal box is. Most people will need to do a serious cleanup and removal job of pals in their pal box before they can put 64 pals in there to level a pal to 4 stars.

I ranked up a boss and it shrank and lost it's boss icon.
Bosses seem best for breeding and not in the party, but it'd be nice if they kept their size when ranked tho. I use a large boss for a flier because it doesn't do the fighting and looks great!

Condensing does more than just increasing attack/ defense/ HP.

Partner skills level up as well, and if you reach 4 stars all camp skills get a level up as well (like kindling 4 => 5, etc).

I did not actually know that! Thanks, I wondered why I would want to bother upgrading my work Pals (except possibly for better base defense). ]

planning to level up vixy in the condenser. will she dig up better spheres if I do level her? will she dig up bullets instead of arrows?

or just bully vixy?

[Ryvaku]

I suggest to provide feedback so it doesn't work the way it does. So players will have reason to compact Pals to save space before fully upgrading their favorite pals. Always be providing feedback for convenience since it's EA. Do your part, tamers.

I haven't tested it, but i read that you can at least get mega spheres that way.

Yeah I mean... what's the cap on a skill, 5? Maybe each level gets you access to better spheres. I think if you've condensed 64 Vixy's you've probably earned better spheres.

[Dr. Rockso]

You only need to go to level 3 to get the better spheres from what I recall but that is still a lot of Vixy's you would need to capture.

Probably way faster to just get the mats and craft them yourself but you do you.

I read that at 3 star, the vixy will dig up mega spheres.

Some types of partner skills that start at level 1, level up once for each star you add. This is especially useful for ones that boost either your pal or your character attack damage. For instance a Beakon that does electric damage can be boosted significantly with 4 Sparkits added to the party. Level those Sparkits all to 4 stars, and you have a boss killer bird (assuming you attack ones that are not strong against electric).
