STARTING LINEUP
The listed ranks and lineup are a starting point. The team builder exposes the effect targets and conditions so you can adapt the composition to your encounter.
Open this team in the builder ↗Party, role and execution
Match the weapon to Xenogard’s or Nyafia’s equipment condition, establish Poison with the selected support, and use Prixter only while that condition applies. Preserve the distinct-species requirement behind Solenne rather than treating every buff as unconditional.
Recorded partner effects
These are raw structured values from the acquired v1.0.3 player dataset. Effect names determine the unit and target; no unverified damage-total formula is applied. A false same-species stacking flag means another copy does not add that effect.
Contextual text references and cooldown overrides are shown separately where native v1.0.3 evidence supplies them. They require the activation described in the final column and are not unconditional party totals.
| Pal | Effect | Rank 1 raw | Rank 5 raw | Target and conditions |
|---|
| Xenogard | Damage Rate By Equipped Weapon | 10 | 35 | To Trainer; same-species non-stacking |
| Nyafia | Damage Rate By Equipped Weapon | 10 | 35 | To Trainer; same-species non-stacking |
| Nyafia | Active value (unit as recorded) | 50 | 100 | Activation and gear conditions apply |
| Solenne | Shot Attack | 30 | 80 | To Trainer; same-species non-stacking |
| Dandilord | Invalid Toxic Gas | 0 | 0 | To Self And Trainer; same-species non-stacking |
| Dandilord | Resist Additional Effect Poison | 100 | 100 | To Self And Trainer; same-species non-stacking |
| Prixter | Damage Rate If Defender Poison | 50 | 65 | To Self And Trainer; same-species non-stacking |
Equipment and ingredient plan
The following options are observed in the source build loadout. Recipe quantities use the acquired catalog’s default recipe when an exact item name matches; they are first-tier ingredient facts, not a price, crafting-time estimate or assertion that every alternative must be equipped together.
| Item | Source slot | Shown tech level | Default recipe ingredients |
|---|
| Beam Scatter | Primary | 75 | 50 Paloxite Ingot, 50 Soralite Ingot, 5 AI Core, 5 Ancient Civilization Core |
| Drone Launcher | Off-hand | 77 | 70 Paloxite Ingot, 40 World Tree Holy Water, 8 AI Core, 5 Ancient Civilization Core |
| Dogen Emblem | Attack slot 1 | No technology level shown | 20 Refined Ingot, 30 Bone, 35 Paldium Fragment, 30 Ancient Bone |
| Attack Pendant | Attack slot 2 | No technology level shown | 25 Ingot, 20 Horn, 25 Paldium Fragment, 2 Ancient Civilization Parts |
| Warsect Terra's Belt | Defensive anchor | No technology level shown | 40 Refined Ingot, 20 Honey, 35 Paldium Fragment, 30 Ancient Lava |
| Vanguard Charm | Flex, survivability | No technology level shown | 30 Polymer, 30 Bone, 20 Flame Organ, 20 Ice Organ, 30 Ancient Bone |
| Lord of the Underworld's Baton | Flex, pal damage | No technology level shown | 20 Refined Ingot, 30 Horn, 15 Pure Quartz, 5 Ancient Civilization Core |
| Mozzarina Cheeseburger | Attack food | No technology level shown | 2 Mozzarina Meat, 1 Flour, 2 Tomato, 2 Milk |
| Mammorest Curry | Attack food, ancient tier | No technology level shown | 1 Mammorest Meat, 2 Onion, 2 Carrot, 2 Potato, 2 Red Berries |
| Dark Skill Fruit: Apocalypse | Third slot, wide targets | No technology level shown | No craftable recipe matched by exact name |
Stat point priority
Player allocation order for this composition, adapted from the captured guide. This is strategy guidance rather than a measured point budget; change the order when your survival or carrying needs differ.
| Priority | Player stat | Why it comes here |
|---|
| 1 | Attack | Raise the player damage that the weapon and conditional support effects amplify. |
| 2 | Health | Allow a larger safety margin while fighting at shotgun distance. |
| 3 | Stamina | Keep enough movement to leave close-range attack zones between shots. |
| 4 | Weight and work speed | For this boss loadout, carry the prepared supplies and invest first in combat. |
Recruitment and upgrade sequence
- Recruitment targets: Xenogard, Nyafia, Solenne, Dandilord, Prixter. Open the linked Pal records for the available acquisition and breeding paths.
- Craft only the Pal Gear needed by the effects you intend to activate, then confirm the effect at the rank you currently own.
- Budget the listed loadout ingredients and upgrade one role at a time; compare the rank 1 and rank 5 records rather than quoting the fully upgraded number on an uncondensed Pal.
Evidence boundary
The factual tables preserve the stated source snapshot. Source-specific recommendations and mechanics have not been independently reproduced in the current game. Exact gameplay rule gaps remain in the coverage notes rather than being filled with invented quantities.
EXECUTE THE COMPOSITION
How to play it
Configure a status-only Nyafia opener
Before combat enable Poison Fog alone on Nyafia. Its zero-power application role matters more here than chip damage, and other enabled skills can spend casts without establishing the required Poison.
Test Nyafia’s first application
Open with Nyafia’s Poison Fog and confirm it reaches the boss; fast movement can prevent contact. This preserves Dandilord’s activation for later applications, allowing more Poison windows than spending it immediately.
Let Dandilord share enemy attention
After the opener, field Dandilord as the fighting status supplier. Drawing part of the boss’s attention creates shooting space; Idiosyncratic regeneration helps with minor pressure but does not justify sustained single-target focus.
Use Mist Stalwart to restore Poison
Activate Dandilord when the target lacks Poison. Its 30-second effect and 50-second cooldown leave a designed gap, so restore Prixter’s payoff promptly rather than saving the input indefinitely.
Launch drones before the main weapon
Deploy the Drone Launcher payload and switch back to the shotgun. Autonomous attacks continue after the swap, adding damage beside the player’s firing sequence.
Keep the spread on the target
Favor the head when it is exposed, while using the shotgun spread to maintain contact. The source’s separate status buildup per pellet is an unverified mechanics claim, so do not treat it as established execution evidence.
MATCH EACH SLOT TO ITS JOB
Loadout choices and preparation
Build around Beam Scatter’s shotgun and energy classifications, then choose defensive flexibility and an appropriate Dandilord skill bar. Schematic tier changes the magazine as well as raw weapon numbers.
WeaponsBeam Scatter
Make Beam Scatter the primary: its two weapon-category support roles are the point of this composition. The captured base-to-Legendary magazine comparison is 30 to 38 rounds, so upgrade for firing uptime as well as damage. Unlock: technology level 75.
Beam Scatter →
WeaponsDrone Launcher
Launch the drones before returning to your main weapon, then remain close enough for their autonomous attacks to connect. Their contribution to player-hit triggers, Orserk stacks or life steal is not independently established by the fixed dataset. Unlock: technology level 77.
Drone Launcher →
AccessoriesDogen Emblem
Use the Dogen Emblem when both trainer shots and the fielded Pal contribute. The source assigns 20% player Attack and a separate 16% active-Pal Attack; it does not give the player both bonuses.
Dogen Emblem →
AccessoriesAttack Pendant
Fill a player-damage accessory slot with the Attack Pendant. Its source-listed 15% player Attack helps trainer attacks rather than replacing a Pal-only damage accessory.
Attack Pendant →
AccessoriesWarsect Terra's Belt
Use Warsect Terra’s Belt to add both player Health and Defense; the captured item model assigns 25% to each. It is a defensive alternative to another damage accessory.
Warsect Terra's Belt →
AccessoriesVanguard Charm
Choose Vanguard Charm as the safer flex option for Health and heat/cold resistance when the trainer is the one failing the encounter.
Vanguard Charm →
AccessoriesLord of the Underworld's Baton
Use Lord of the Underworld’s Baton as the offensive flex for Dandilord’s Dark skills. Its Attack and elemental bonuses belong to the active Pal, not to your Beam Scatter shots.
Lord of the Underworld's Baton →
ConsumablesMozzarina Cheeseburger
Eat Mozzarina Cheeseburger before engaging for the source-listed 20% Attack food buff. Choose between Attack and Defense food for the same recipient; the plan does not add the two together.
Mozzarina Cheeseburger →
ConsumablesMammorest Curry
Use Mammorest Curry when its cost is acceptable for the source-listed 25% Attack buff. It replaces the cheaper Attack meal rather than stacking with it.
Mammorest Curry →
ConsumablesDefensive food alternative
Switch the trainer to Defense food when survivability is failing. It replaces the Attack meal, so evaluate the lost damage instead of counting both buffs.
Dandilord's active skillsToxic Dance
Use Dandilord’s level-70 Toxic Dance for a native Dark single-target option at 800 catalog power. Treat the number as a skill parameter rather than measured encounter damage.
Dandilord's active skillsPoison Promenade
Pair the level-50 Poison Promenade with Toxic Dance for a second native Dark attack at 700 catalog power. Their role differs from wide-area skills chosen for large targets.
Dandilord's active skillsDark Laser
Use level-22 Dark Laser as the general third slot: Dark, 450 catalog power. Its element benefits from the same Dark accessories as the two exclusives.
Dandilord's active skillsDark Skill Fruit: Apocalypse
Teach Apocalypse through the linked Dark Skill Fruit route for wide targets. Its 400-power area footprint can be more useful than a higher nominal number that misses the hitbox.
Dark Skill Fruit: Apocalypse →
Dandilord's active skillsCircle Vine
Try the native level-15 Circle Vine as another large-target area option at 300 power. It is Grass: Dandilord’s typing matches it, but Dark-only accessories do not.
PREPARE THE EXACT RECORD
Equipment and supplies
Open the named tier for its ingredients, unlocks and recorded acquisition methods. Resource planning uses its game ID. Generic choices such as “your strongest shield” in the loadout remain choices rather than a fabricated exact item.
Passive records and availability
Check the exact passive’s effect and eligibility before moving it to a carry. An availability label does not guarantee a particular catch, implant or mutation result.
Passive selection and acquisition
These are the captured guide’s build choices and suggested acquisition routes. Use the linked fixed-baseline passive record for its actual effects and eligibility; a proposed route is not a guaranteed roll.
The source proposes it on reserve supporters for survival. Keep its player-facing and carrier-facing effects separate instead of transferring every listed effect to Dandilord.
The proposed routes are mutation breeding or an implant obtained through ancient-relic recycling; ordinary wild rolls are not the stated route.
Improve the player's main damage lane from the party's support slots.
The guide points to a bounty officer: unlock the implant with bounty tokens, then use gold to apply it to the intended carriers.
Protect the trainer during sustained close-range weapon use.
The captured route normally uses the bounty-officer implant unlock, followed by gold applications to the selected carriers.
Use when firearm reload downtime interrupts the repeated-hit plan.
The guide normally points to the arena shop and battle tickets for the implant unlock.
Reserve for the fielded Dandilord when control effects interrupt its attacks.
This capture specifically proposes a disposable implant from ancient-relic recycling for Dandilord.
An aggressive Dandilord option that exchanges Defense for Attack; replace it if the carry cannot stay deployed.
The capture places the passive in the World Tree pool; source it from a qualifying carrier or the implant system described by the guide.
An aggressive Dandilord option with a severe maximum-Health cost; do not choose it solely for a larger Attack line.
The capture places the passive in the World Tree pool; source it from a qualifying carrier or the implant system described by the guide.
UNDERSTAND THE TRADE
What this build turns down
The weak-point build it is not
The weak-point package has a higher potential reward for accurate aim. This version chooses weapon and status support that can still help when shots land away from the head.
Burn instead of poison
A Burn pair can replace the Poison pair, but it changes the field role: this lineup uses Dandilord as a combatant as well as a status enabler.
Life steal over the energy half
A life-steal replacement gives up Xenogard's weapon support. Make that exchange when survival is limiting the attempt, and check the healing carrier's deployment requirement.
Alternates and flex picks
Replace Xenogard to exchange energy-weapon support for a healing role; observe Felbat's requirement to fight alongside the player.
Acquisition route →Consider the alternative life-steal carrier when it is already better prepared; verify the deployment condition before counting its recovery.
Acquisition route →Change the Poison setup into a Burn setup by supplying the Burn application role.
Acquisition route →Use with Renjishi as the Burn payoff; taking only the payoff does not create a reliable Burn condition.
Acquisition route →BUILD IT IN A USEFUL ORDER
Acquisition and upgrade plan
The captured map lists one-time Ancient Shrine schematic routes for the accessories. Check the coordinates and reward entry for each before choosing a repeatable farming alternative.
Check Beam Scatter schematic eligibility
The source lists a 10% legendary Beam Scatter roll from level-72 Hard Zoe and Grizzbolt. It also labels tower rolls first-clear-only, so repeated-rematch farming is not established. Compare the schematic eligibility record and its unresolved version limits before investing in this route.
All legendary schematic sources →
Compare Drone Launcher rarity routes
The source lists a 10% legendary schematic roll from level-74 Hard Lily and Lyleen, plus lower-rate World Tree fishing and relic-recycler alternatives. The first-clear condition remains unverified. The ordinary level-77 launcher is a separate technology craft and does not require the legendary schematic.
Compare the drop rates →
Visit the Attack Pendant shrine entry
The source map places a one-time Attack Pendant schematic reward at [427, 338]. Its alternative chest-pool claims are about 3.4% on Dark Island and 1.2% at Oil Rig rewards. These are source probabilities with unresolved eligibility and revision, not guaranteed repeatable outcomes.
Open on the map →
Check the Sky Island Dogen Emblem entry
Inspect the Ancient Shrine reward at [-300, -1505] for Dogen Emblem. The source offers a roughly 2.4% chest-pool alternative; confirm the applicable chest and conditions instead of treating every chest in the region as the same pool.
Open on the map →
Prioritize the defensive belt route
The source lists Warsect Terra's Belt as an Ancient Shrine schematic at [-665, 30]. Check that reward entry early because the belt supplies the defensive role in this composition; obtain the schematic before budgeting its actual crafting recipe.
Open on the map →
Prepare the safer flex accessory
Look up the source-listed Vanguard Charm shrine at [-815, -850]. This is the defensive flex option in the guide, so decide whether that role solves your failures before spending materials on the competing damage accessory.
Open on the map →
Collect the Dark baton only for the Pal-damage variant
The source places Lord of the Underworld's Baton at [-920, -1127]. Its bonuses apply to the Pal rather than the trainer, so pursue it for the Dandilord variant rather than expecting it to improve the player's own Beam Scatter shots.
Open on the map →
Separate permanent unlocks from consumable implants
The guide routes Vanguard and Stronghold Strategist through bounty tokens and Reload Master through arena battle tickets. Idiosyncratic and Diamond Body are proposed relic-recycler implants. Budget reusable vendor unlocks, individual application costs and consumable recycler results separately.
