Best passives for Tombat

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)
