    "selftext": "Hey everyone, \n\nWorking on a shadowbeak team which includes up to 4 hook crates. Hook rates partner skill will increase shadowbeaks damage. My question is does the star level or passive abilities on the hook rate effect this partner skill? Basically is it worth breeding 4 hook rates with ferocious, Lord of the underworld, etc, or increasing each one's star level?",

      "body": "Condensing does affect partner skill for sure (it add some pods on lunaris) but not sure how, i mean it feel that only the last level really affect it.\n\nI doubt passiv skill affect partner skill but not 100% sure"

      "body": "I would give your Hoocrates passives like Vanguard or Stronghold Strategist if you don't plan on using them for battle. If they're just support Pals then put support passives on them to increase your damage output/resistances. The stars will boost the partner skill but it's passives will boost you, so both you and shadowbeak will be stronger when fighting together. Just because they'll be in your party, you might as well try and get Lord of the Underworld and Legend on the Hoocrates as well. It'll just boost their capabilities in case you do have to pull one out to give shadowbeak time to rest."
