Breeding Heavily Armored onto a Pal
If one parent carries Heavily Armored, the chance the child inherits it depends on how many different passives the two parents hold between them — a passive both carry counts once:
- Only Heavily Armored100%
- 2 passives in all80%
- 3 passives in all63%
- 4 passives in all50%
From PalCalc’s model of the game’s breeding tables (tylercamp/palcalc), which treats every passive alike: the child inherits one to four passives from the pool and may roll up to three random ones, four at most in all. Plan whole pairings in the breeding calculator.
