Best passives for Shaolong

Passives are rolled or bred on, not learned, so these are the same picks for any Pal you plan to fight with — highest-ranked attack traits first.

No innate passives — relies on stat baseline + active skills.

  • Twin-Edged Holy BladeAttack +50%; Defense -30%; World Tree resources will not vanish when approached.
  • God of DestructionAttack +40%; Defense +20%; Max Health -50%; World Tree resources will not vanish when approached.
  • Demon GodAttack +30% (ToSelf); Defense +5% (ToSelf)
  • MuscleheadAttack +30% (ToSelf); Work Speed -50% (ToSelf)

Shaolong also works a base, so if that is the job you want it doing, breed for work speed instead: Demon’s Hand, Remarkable Craftsmanship, Artisan, Work Slave.

Awakening

Shaolong is dual-element, so its crystal is either Dragon Awakening Crystal or Water Awakening Crystal — the item data names one element per crystal and does not say which a two-element Pal takes. Either way it costs 50 Radiant Gems of that element plus 10 World Tree Holy Water.
